  • I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments. New mic on the way btw. It's about time, this video in particular had some nasty cutouts, but I think it was good overall. Maybe it was just Gengar pulling me into the abyss like the Hades fight in God of War 3. Subscribe for more if you're so inclined. Links below

      it also allows it to potentially hold its own against a pursuit ttar that has been burned on the switch-in as most people will go for pursuit at least once. That means, you get at least 2 giga drains off + spikes damage + burn damage. Even if you don't kill the ttar, you bring it down to where it can easily be dealt with by Gengars teammates. You can even "jebait" the ttar into using pursuit twice by using thunderbolt once, because then the opponent will think "nah, it will switch out as it loses that matchup. I'm gonna pursuit", and then BAM, you hit it with the giga drain that also ensure you survive 2 unboosted pursuits by swag glasses ttar in sand.
      those mindgames are what I love so much about gen 3.

    never really been a big fan of gengar in adv ou. i think it's the lack of a boosting move and stab that turns me off. Cleaning and coverage is super nice, but i always felt underwhelmed. very nice video to explain things, thank you:)

    • @IschmarVI
      @IschmarVI 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah, gengar is a pokemon that often feels less impactful than it actually is. The little things it does, are often huge. It blocked one spin on your 2 layers? Thats another, maybe 5 switches with spikes down. BAM 83% damage done by simply *existing* . It chipped that one enemy with thunderbolt for 32% damage? Now its in ddtars kill range and you are one step closer to sweeping. Also, will-o-wisp is crazy good.

    Is Sub gengar never used (other than perishtrap lmao)? I feel like it has soooo much potential based on what you’ve said in this video… it has the most potential in ADV since it runs leftovers anyways and is immune to all hazards… it also guarantees you a safe switch to avoid pursuit, just a little bit of Atk investment can allow FPunch to OHKO fast TTar (and it’s a guaranteed 2HKO of FPunch + special coverage move on bulky DDance), can give you 2 chances to burn/sleep, scout moves/mons early game, etc etc.
    Is it just considered too passive in the current meta? Or else why isn’t it ever used?

    • @BKCplaysPokemon
      @BKCplaysPokemon  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      gengar's health is really valuable and losing a free 25% it won't get back (sand) isn't worth it. plus it takes up a valuable moveslot you don't really need, it's better to run focus punch without sub and just predict

    Thanks for making this, while gengar has worked for me good, but I haven't used to much spikes with it. I will definitely think of that when I use gar again.
