Suggested usage notes

Gengar Mega performs best when its role is clearly defined in team preview. As a Special Attacker and Speed Control Pokémon, focus on positioning it where it can execute its job without being forced into unfavorable exchanges. Watch for Sucker Punch and Shadow Claw from common physical attackers.

When teambuilding, pair Gengar Megawith Pokémon that cover its type weaknesses (see counters section below) and provide the speed control or redirection it needs to function. Review the common moves and items section for established sets, then adjust based on your team's specific needs.
