Not gonna lie, I might need a pair of these after seeing why Game Freak thought Mega Gengar was a good idea when they also deleted Shadow Tag Chandelure from existence. Talk about a double standard, am I right?
Crazy how Gengar made it work back in the early gens 1-3 without a single stab move. Makes me think gen 4's special and physical split was mainly for Gengar.
It was even crazier that in Gen 1, bro was the only Ghost type, and he is also weak to the extremely dominant Psychic Type... and HE STILL MAKE IT WORKS. what a pokemon.
All hail Gengar, the most iconic ghost type Pokemon of all time. An amazing staple of the game since its debut generation and one that is beloved by many.
I think the scene would’ve been more sad if the animators actually gave Gengar a sad face that fit the tone instead of keeping that goofy smile on him.
A special mention to Gengar's history is Mega Gengar being banned in Gen 9 NatDex Ubers. Gengar gained Encore in Gen 8, and while it doesn't really do a whole lot for normal Gengar, it absolutely broke Mega Gengar in NatDex Ubers thanks to its speed tier and Shadow Tag access. It was quickbanned after the first day of the tier's formation alongside Shedinja and Calyrex-SR (which is a day before they quickbanned Mega Rayquaza and Miraidon), becoming one of the most broken Pokemon ever created. Recently this past month, a NatDex Ubers tier was also created for Gen 8 as well (prior to Gen 9, only NatDex AG existed above NatDex OU), and Mega Gengar is unsurprisingly banned in that tier too. If Mega Gengar ever comes back to the mainline series, which is likely will given that Megas are returning in Legends ZA, it will likely be subject to the same fate.
Probably won't get encore tho. Almost definitely gonna lose it, as in SV some me pokemon lost moves even when traded from other games (maybe in SwSh too, but idk).
It sorely depends if GameFreak has the foresight to do something about it, since Shadow Tag + Encore is an interaction exclusive to a Smogon tier that is completely made up from the actual games, so I doubt GameFreak would be aware of the interaction from NatDex alone.
@@the_bookworm8281Leaked gen 6 files have revealed that gamefreak did tons of huge nerfs to pokemon before their release. Mega garchomp was supposed to have 112 speed, talonflame was meant to have 103 attack, etc. as well as a scrapped mega evolution for Jynx. But in short yes they would at the very least be aware of the interaction and to balance it, gamefreak did also nerf the ruination quartet's BSTs before releasing SV iirc.
The most amazing part about Gengar is that it was an utter monster in the first three gens of its existence WITHOUT STAB, despite being designed to be an offensive Pokémon.
The only Ghost type in Gen1 and the only line in the entire series that had the Ghost/Poison dual type before Pecharunt. Took advantage of every mechanic it could and adapted, not to niches, but roles. Not difficult to say that Gengar was both iconic and great.
i like how in gens 1-3 it is reasonable to assume that any gengar you see is using thunderbolt and explosion, and in gen4 it might but probably isn't using them, then starting in gen5 those moves may as well have never been in it's movepool
I thought levitate was so fitting on Gengar because he's such a troll. Even though it looks like he's standing on the ground, he's probably just levitating an inch above it while smiling smugly about. I always thought that was on purpose.
Really wish they kept levitate But it's not like Gengar could take a hit anyways because Psychic is a thing But again less weaknesses over all of them at this point
Gengar deserved better. Idk why they changed his ability from levitate. "Hey Mega Ray is fine, but levitate gengar?!! Nah, that's too much, gotta nerf it"
its cuz they want the playerbase to use their new pokemon and want to shift the meta to newer pokemon rather than always using the same. Thats very common in competitive games when devs want to favor a specific meta and nerf the old ones
People always forget, just because Normal has no super effective types it hits, doesn't mean it CAN'T hit. Gengar was super necessary on teams back then for that immunity.
0:27 Ah yes, *Mindy:* The character from Pokemon that is so hated, that sooner or later someone feels obligated to point out that there's a large, thriving subreddit dedicated to hating her.
Mega Rayquaza, Arceus, Zacian, and Calyrex-Shadow: Yoooo look at us getting banned from Ubers National Dex Mega Gengar: Amateurs. Mega Rayquaza: What was that? National Dex Mega Gengar: AMATEURS.
Regardless of anything in the most recent gens, the fact that Genga won the world championship on the year the primals and mega rayquaza were THE format its such an acomplishment that Gengar deserves his hall of fame ghost type status.
Crazy how he managed to be good against all odds, he beat the psychics in gen 1, survived gen 2 and 3 without a single stab move, and somehow stayed OU until the devs literally had to nerf him, what a mon, gotta love that guy
A wicked part of me has been waiting eagerly for this remake just to hear FSG talk about Gengar getting its body cursed so hard by GameFreak in Gen 7, it can no longer levitate.
>gets outclassed in Ou >gets immediately banned in UU >gets alllowed again in crown tundra >falls to RU because Blacephalon >gets banned in UU, while sitting in RU? what a Chad
Considering how GameFreak added pokemon that are beyond ridiculously broken, makes you wonder why remove Levitate from Gengar. Not like Urshifu with the ability to ignore protect wasn't bad enough. Or giving Incineroar Parting Shot to making it even more potent as a supporter pokemon.
I feel like people exaggerate the impact losing Levitate had on Gengar's viability. Was it a nerf? Obviously. It lost a lot of free switchins. Some pokemon that had to carefully pick their movesets just to hit it could now do it without much thought. That being said, Gengar was already falling off on its own merit. I seriously have no doubt Gengar would have fallen to UU in gen 7 even if it still had Levitate because it would have been displaced by Blacephelon, but everybody acts like the loss of Levitate was just that damning. Sidenote, I've even heard people say Haunter was better because it at least has Levitate, and I'm like uh bro it's still Gengar. You know? Superior special attack and speed stat. Could have at least said Mismagius since it plays differently from Gengar...
As I remember from watching it when it happened, the controversy around Mega Gengar in XY Ubers led to controversy in Smogon's XY Ubers council at the time. They first tried to suspect Mega Gengar itself, which led to a "no ban" result. Then, immediately after that, they tried a Shadow Tag suspect test... which might as well have been a Mega Gengar suspect test because it literally couldn't exist without Shadow Tag. This display of double jeopardy raised some serious questions because it basically defeated the entire point of public suspect tests. The Shadow Tag suspect led to a "ban" result, and it was in effect for a little while, but it was then overturned when Smogon's upper management realized what was going on there. As I remember, several people in the XY Ubers council got banned as a result.
waiting for the counterparts to complete: - Carracosta - Seviper - other gen 5 monkeys - Gothitelle - incineroar - Tornadus - Aromatisse And I guess we could finish up Gen 2 with Sunflora, Magcargo (Slugma Male Grindset paying off when?) and Corsola. I think those are the only gen 2 Pokemon left to wrap it up.
One of the simplest yet mot unique, iconic designs in Pokemon (in my opinion at least). And one of the first pokemon to get nerfed DIRECTLY and INTENTIONALLY, instead of being part of general mechanic changes. Years go, many new ghosts are added (most of them, honstely, pretty cool). But Gengar is still THE ghost type pokemon. Damn, what a movie. Thanks, FSG. :) *And take rest, damn it, :x).
Give it levitate back, even if it has legs. Gengar is seen levitating in the anime & games. It could also get prankster as it’s a Pokemon known for playing pranks
If they don't want to give levitate back they could have given it prankster, or even a unique ability that's like a passive Hex but for all moves and/or passive dream eater when hitting sleeping targets.
I know it may be hard for some to hear, but Gengar shouldn't have Levitate. Our mans does not float. Why should he be allowed to Levitate when Pokemon that are always floating and never grounded aren't afforded that luxury? This was not a punishment, but patching a loophole that this foul gremlin has been exploiting.
Plus cursed body ain’t half bad as a replacement. Disabling a move can be incredible, especially if they’re choiced or you’re playing something like Metronome battles
I remember this mega gengar i had running around back in the day. Max speed and special attack, bold nature. Dual STAB, substitute, disable. Great mega kanga counter. Well a decent one at least. It lived a sucker punch. I was still new to competitive back then. EV spreads were meta, but the natures mostly covered the pokemons weaker defense.
Y’know it’s kind of wild that without Megas, Gengar is always more accepted as viable than Mawile in or out of a doubles format, but Mega Mawile utterly flipped the script on that dynamic even when Gengar itself got a Mega.

Every analysis talks about the importance of dealing with Gengar. It’s nice that there’s an analysis of WHY Gengar had to be dealt with.
Hopefully someday, if Game Freak has the "soul" to pull it off, Gengar will have Levitate again, but as a Hidden Ability.
