Best Pokémon to Use Against Ghost Tera Gengar

To successfully defeat Gengar in these Tera Raids, it’s crucial to bring Pokémon that can effectively counter its Ghost Tera Type. Here are some ideal choices:

1. Tyranitar

• Type: Dark/Rock
• Moves: Crunch, Rock Slide, Dark Pulse
• Reason: Tyranitar’s Dark typing gives it an advantage over Ghost-types, and Crunch can deal heavy damage.

2. Umbreon

• Type: Dark
• Moves: Foul Play, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball
• Ability: Synchronize (useful for status effects)
• Reason: Umbreon’s bulkiness and Dark-type moves make it a sturdy choice against Gengar’s Ghost-type attacks.

3. Hydreigon

• Type: Dark/Dragon
• Moves: Dark Pulse, Crunch, Draco Meteor
• Reason: Hydreigon’s Dark typing and strong special attack stat allow it to dish out significant damage to Gengar.

4. Bisharp

• Type: Dark/Steel
• Moves: Night Slash, Iron Head, Sucker Punch
• Reason: Bisharp’s Dark-type moves will counter Gengar’s Ghost Tera Type, while its Steel typing provides defensive coverage.

5. Houndoom

• Type: Dark/Fire
• Moves: Crunch, Dark Pulse, Flamethrower
• Reason: Houndoom’s Dark-type attacks and access to special moves make it versatile and effective in battle against Gengar.

Strategy Tips

1. Avoid Psychic-Type Pokémon: Gengar’s Ghost-type moves will hit Psychic-types hard, so choose Dark-types instead for resistance and higher damage.
2. Consider Support Moves: Moves like Reflect or Light Screen can reduce damage for the entire team, especially if Gengar uses strong special attacks.
3. Bring Recovery Moves: If you’re using a Pokémon with low defense, consider moves like Recover to sustain your team through the raid.

With Gengar raids and Ghost-type outbreaks, this event is a perfect opportunity to catch some spooky Pokémon and earn extra rewards in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Don’t miss out!
