What is a good competitive moveset for Gengar? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Red/Blue Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Red/Blue generation metagame.
Gengar is a sensational Ghost and Poison-typed Pokemon. It's a pretty common sight to see Gengar out in the 1st generation battlefield. Gengar can usually be found in the OU tier (Overused). There were no known abilities or equippable items back in the Red/Blue Pokemon games. Gengar is weak to Grass, Ice, and Psychic-typed attacks.
Gengar is a decent Special Sweeper in single battles. It was designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Generation one was a completely different game from what it is now. Don't forget back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Thunderbolt is a special 95-base power Electric-type move (10% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Psychic is a special 90-base power Psychic-type move (33% chance to lower the target's special by 1 stage). ♦ Mega Drain is a special 40-base power Grass-type move (Gengar recovers 50% of the damage dealt). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
