>>16139165And your perish song strategy depends completely on the opponent not knowing anything, because if they do the set is utterly defeated.
Once the set is discovered it becomes a gimmick, as I said, it kills once, it maybe wins a game once in a rare circumstance, but it depends so much on the opponents lack of facing it before that once they do it becomes ineffectual.
You will never see such a set at a VGC, only in random showdown battles until people catch on that a cute, dumb gimmick set is running around and then people will know to switch their Noiverns/Crobat/Chandelure in the moment Gengar shows up. It will soon be replaced by a more effective 4atk Gengar set that is not only effective against the current meta, it doesn't depend on a gimmick to operate. That set always works.
It's a dumb set, get over your fanboyism and let it go.
