Gengar @ Leftovers
Ability: No Ability
- Ice Punch
- Mean Look
- Perish Song
- Destiny Bond
The recent SPL week has revealed another trick up Gengar's sleeve, the combination of Mean Look, Perish Song, and Destiny Bond to confound the opposition and take out special walls like Raikou and Snorlax. Ice Punch allows Gengar to threaten Zapdos and Exeggutor, as well as concealing its nefarious plans. Mean Look traps unsuspecting sleep absorbers like Raikou and special walls such as Snorlax. Perish Song removes trapped Pokemon that cannot deal enough damage to Gengar such as Blissey, Heracross, and Umbreon, while Destiny Bond takes out the rest, including Earthquake Snorlax, Tyranitar, and Zapdos. Beneficiaries of these traps are Pokemon like Zapdos, which can then overwhelm the opposition with strong Thunders. Growth users such as Espeon and Vaporeon also appreciate Gengar removing Snorlax and Raikou, making GrowthPass teams much harder for the opposing team to deal with.
Watch TC utilize Gengar in last week's SPL game to remove the opposing team's Blissey, which allowed their special-attacking squad to wreak havoc: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen2ou-604804
