Best Pokémon to Use Against Gengar

As Gengar is a Ghost/Poison-type with a Ghost Tera Type, it will have boosted Ghost-type moves, making it crucial to bring strong Pokémon that can resist or neutralize its attacks while dealing effective damage. Here are some of the best Pokémon to use:

1. Tyranitar: A powerhouse Dark/Rock-type, Tyranitar resists Gengar’s Ghost-type moves and can hit back hard with moves like Crunch or Dark Pulse.
2. Hydreigon: Another excellent Dark/Dragon-type, Hydreigon has resistance to Ghost moves and can dish out powerful damage with Dark Pulse or Bite. Its speed also helps avoid taking too much damage.
3. Grimmsnarl: This Dark/Fairy-type is a fantastic support option. It can use moves like Spirit Break to weaken Gengar’s Special Attack, while also having resistance to Ghost-type moves.
4. Mimikyu: Being part Ghost-type, Mimikyu can resist some of Gengar’s strongest attacks, and its Disguise ability allows it to take a hit without losing much HP. Moves like Shadow Claw or Play Rough will be effective against Gengar.
5. Umbreon: A Dark-type with great defensive stats, Umbreon can stall Gengar with Snarl to reduce its Special Attack or attack with Foul Play for solid damage while tanking hits.
6. Bisharp/Kingambit: Steel/Dark-types that resist Ghost and Poison moves, Bisharp and its evolution Kingambit can deal heavy damage with Iron Head or Night Slash while shrugging off most attacks.

Strategy Tips

• Bring Dark-types: Gengar’s Ghost-type moves will be super effective against Ghost-types but neutral against Dark-types, making them an excellent choice to counter it.
• Support Moves: Moves like Light Screen or Reflect can reduce damage from Gengar’s special and physical moves, while Taunt can prevent it from using any non-damaging moves like status inflictions.
• Healing and Buffing: Pokémon with access to healing moves like Recover or support abilities like Life Dew can be vital in keeping your team alive during this tough raid.

Prepare your best team, plan your strategy, and take advantage of this limited-time event to catch Gengar and earn some rare rewards before it ends on October 31st!
