Mega Gengar is a potent special attacker in LGPE OU due to its superb Speed, Special Attack, and coverage that lets it threaten nearly every common Pokemon in the tier. Shadow Ball targets Mew and other staples such as Melmetal, Starmie, and Zapdos. Thunderbolt hits targets that resist or are immune to Shadow Ball such as Mega Gyarados, Alolan Muk, and Snorlax. Mega Gengar also has quite a few support options it can run to deter switch-ins, the most popular choices being Will-O-Wisp to neutralize physical attackers, Substitute to prevent it from being revenge killed by the likes of Mega Beedrill and Mega Alakazam, and Taunt to shut down walls such as Chansey and Mega Venusaur. Mega Gengar pairs well with other offensive Pokemon such as Dragonite and Melmetal, as they can help apply pressure to its checks such as Alolan Muk and Snorlax. Defensive pivots, Zapdos and Mew in particular, also work well when paired with Mega Gengar due to its fragility dissuading it from coming in on most neutral hits. Other defensive Pokemon such as Snorlax, Alolan Muk, and Melmetal can help deal with Pokemon such as Mega Beedrill, Mega Alakazam, and Mega Aerodactyl that can force Mega Gengar out.
