>>19984184>>19984241But Gengar is Sugimori's favorite, not Masuda's.

>PS as you Mega Evolve Gengar-count is 3>Substitute/Protect on 2>Protect/Substitute on 1>Switch out, the target stays trapped and dies at the end of the turnGranted, there are numerous Pokemon that can avoid being killed by this tactic. Which is why most Mega Gengar opt to put that 170 base Special Attack to use instead, or to spam Destiny Bond on the things it can't hope to beat outright.
And even if you manage to take it out with a revenge killer, you're already fucked because M-Gengar was never trying to sweep your team, all it needed to do was take out the 'mon you just avenged.
Bitch about wanting Lucarioite or Kangaskhanite back in OU, fine. But Gengarite should've never left Sugimori's desk, period. At least the other two banned Megas are only mediocre in Ubers; Mega Gengar is probably even more terrifying there than it ever was in OU.
