Doubt it. It has even less switching-in options, now that it's gained another weakness. Not to mention it was already struggling in. Adding to the fact its current ability is shit since it's chance based and Gengar is frail to the point it cant take a hit to capitalize on the opponent's disabled move.

Dream is dead, happy 20th anniversary,.

No. That would be the case if this was Alolan Gengar, which it isnt.

When Scolipede with HA was transferred to XY, its old HA was replaced with the new one. Same principle applies here.

Gengar had Levitate in all three ability slots, and now all three are replaced with Cursed Body

Literally why

Let's acknowledge that GF doesn't give two shits about smogon or single battles in general and disregard the fact that even WITH levitate, gengar is niche at best in OU, and disregard that Aegislash is a million times better in Battlespot

What the fuck is regular gengar doing in their VGC? And whatever it's doing, why is taking away it's ground immunity the solution? Is the notorious scrub strat of EQ with a ground immunity partner really shaking up their meta so much that they feel this will help?

they nerfed them by making 1) Megas not available in VGC 17
2)Tao Trio is not part of the regional dex, so no VGC 17 either
3)Primals not part of regional dex, no vgc 17
4)Greninja, Blaziken also not part of regional dex, no vgc 17

and he got fucked up by EQ in both gens and the only reason he was OU is because of how Stat exp meant everything was a lot bulkier in general so it didn't have to worry about getting BTFO by a neutral hit from anything and everything, and there were no natures, meaning Attacking stats didn't have 1.1 boosts to damage, and there were no choice items or LO, meaning damage was lower, and spikes were a lot more prevalent, meaning having a spinblocker was a necessity (gen 2 anyway) whereas in gen 1 his effective SpDef was a lot higher and he was the fastest sleeper in a gen where sleep was even more broken than ever, and he had bolt/beam coverage coming off his special attack when bolt/beam was hands down the best offensive coverage in the game, and he had access to explosion when it halved the defense of mons it exploded on

As the gens moved on, he basically lost his bolt/beam coverage, boom power, bulk, sleep setter, and eventually, when spikes usage dropped, his use as a spinblocker waned to niche due to all the OTHER BETTER mons that have levitate

They keep robbing this nigga for no fucking reason

You're missing a bit.

Firstly, Gengar lacks defense in general, so it prefers coming in on immunities rather than a "resisted" hit. It had a choice of 3/17 types to come in on before, while now it only has 2/17 types to come in on.

Combine that with the fact that EQ is still, 7 generations later, one of the most used moves of all time, and you have a lot of chances to switch Gengar in.

Secondly, having immunity to Ground was pretty necessary for Gengar, as a lot of Pokemon he switched in to counter only carried EQ + another move that Gengar would resist. As frail as he is, even he can survive most resisted attacks, and he'll be able to hit you twice before you hit him twice.

So now Gengar can't switch be used to combat a lot of Pokemon that he could previously, which will drop his usage quite a bit.

Now, with his Sp. Atk and Spd I can't actually see him leaving OU, but he'll drop to bottom and maybe even be BL for the first time ever.

how did it threaten them back though? I mean, I get that it does but out of those 3, gengar seems like the weakest of the three, and if Groudon Xerneas are the go to offensive core, then why would you want to REMOVE a counter? Wouldn't that only make Groudon-Xerneas MORE prevalent, reducing variation in the meta, doing the exact OPPOSITE of what balancing is supposed to do?

by them, i meant the opponent

he scares out xerneas, but he can't set up and doesn't apply nearly as much offensive pressure to the opponent otherwise, especially compared to Xerneas, and I doubt he can OHKO much else (well, psychic types sure but not the rest of the tier, I'm sure)

whereas Xerneas can boost and sweep I'm sure almost everything in the game. I understand Gengar's good in that situation but I'm failing to see why Gengar is the one in need of a nerf for being able to threaten out a mon

It's more about putting Trick Room on a mon where others don't expect it to cancel the opposing Trick Room. Don't remember who used that setup.

Will-O-Wisp, Icy Wind or Taunt coupled with Sludge Bomb and Protect was of course more prevalent.
