gengar and destiny bond

[WakelessTitan]

so my question is should I get rid nightmare or dream eater for destiny bond

[bobirobi20]

Gengar isn't very bulky, so stalling your opponents with hypnosis and Nightmare doesn't sound like the best idea, but then again, if you outspeed enough, wouldn't you just prefer to go for the instant KO, instead of risking the result of the battle, on Hypnosis's accuracy. In short, get rid of Nightmare, but if I were you, I would reconsider the entire set.

 

(Just noticed, good nickname BTW, I don't think it's that known)

Yeah I’ve been thinking about reworking him I only taught him destiny bond to try and kill terra’s garchomp with it but I actually ended up killing the garchomp with my snorlax. So any ideas for what I should replace hypnosis and dream eater with?

Maybe just coverage moves? Sadly Gengar doesn't get the good stuff in reborn until the very late game... That would be Thunderbolt Focus Blast and Sludge Bomb

 

Maybe Veno Shock to get another STAB move and Dazzling Gleam for Dark Types. 

 

All in all I was not very impressed by Gengar sadly, it's shiny sprite is really awesome though and in general pretty cool Pokemon.

 

Hope this helps a bit.

It does help I might shelf him for now I have a gardevoir instead of having them both might bring magneton in for some type coverage I’m currently at work or I’d post my whole team stats but I have a swamper, ryhperior, gardevoir, arcanine, snorlax and gengar ATM
