In-Depth Analysis
Gengar's 500 base stat total marks it as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Special Attack (130) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 60 means careful positioning matters.
Its Ghost, Poison typing leaves Gengar with 4 weaknesses against 4 resistances and 2 full immunities. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 4 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Gengar a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
