>>48278203>>48278183The main reason is the entire game at the high 5 man ladder and tournament level is strongly influenced by denying exp early lane. Pokemon that take a long time to come online will always be worse off at high masters/tournaments. They're intrinsically weaker. For Gengar, he cannot take Jungle because your Jungle is better reserved for your objective shredder (Ace, Gren) and Garde just evolves too late.
>>48278173I am not sure he has been banned, I just know for sure those other things have been.
>>48278196He took a hit during the Blastoise meta but I have always had him pretty high on the tier list I share around here. His early lane bullying is great.
>>48278184They honestly really do just keep trading spaces for the most viable object shredder/attacker.
>>48278199Yeah it's a 5 stack ladder tier list.
