Although this set can sweep on its own, the fact that it can also clear the way for other sweepers like this should be exploited to its fullest. Gengar can come in safely on the Fighting- and Ground-type attacks Heatran lures; people generally do not try to predict switch-ins against Pokemon who have a Substitute up.
As a bonus, Gengar does not have to worry about switching in on something like a Thunder Wave from Blissey when using this strategy, which is one of the biggest concerns when contemplating whether or not to switch Gengar in.
This strategy can be used with other Pokemon who have similar weaknesses, like Tyranitar or Empoleon. Tyranitar in particular is recommended, as the sandstorm that it provides makes it significantly easier for Gengar to beat Blissey. For extra insurance against Blissey in worst-case scenarios, Toxic Spikes should be considered.
As with any set utilizing Substitute, Toxic Spikes can prove to be even more potent than usual, forcing Pokemon to usually take two turns of damage minimum should you choose to attack then switch out. Gengar is immune to Ground-type attacks and Toxic, and boasts a 4x resistance to U-turn, meaning Gengar does not fear any of the common moves that Gliscor carries. Gengar can then start hitting hard every time someone relies on Gliscor to beat Lucario.
Offensive teams do not like facing fast and heavy hitters, and defensive teams do not like Pain Split, which keeps Gengar alive. Philip said:. By utilizing a combination of Substitute and Pain Split, Gengar becomes nearly impossible to wall, even with Blissey. Pain Split also allows Gengar to safely run Substitute and Life Orb at the same time, all the while taking damage from sandstorm and hail , as he can easily just heal himself back to good health when he is low; in fact, taking so much residual damage only increases the amount of HP that Gengar sucks away from his opponents.
Of course, Gengar is notorious for his ability to sweep, with his massive Special Attack stat and base Speed of Although this set loses some super effective coverage due to the lack of attacking move slots, Gengar still maintains perfect neutral coverage with the unresisted Fighting- and Ghost-type combination.
Substitute also eases the prediction required for Gengar to effectively sweep, by allowing him to scout which Pokemon his opponent switches in, before deciding what to attack it with. The combination of Substitute and Life Orb is generally not recommended, due to how fast you end up killing yourself, but with Pain Split, this becomes a nonissue. This means that Blissey will constantly need to be healing herself after each Pain Split, or else risk being KOed. Because Heatran draws in Fighting- and Ground-type attacks, Gengar can come in safely while Heatran switches out from behind a Substitute; people generally do not try to predict switch-ins against Pokemon who have a Substitute up, so it is very likely that they will use whatever is super effective against Heatran while he is behind a Substitute.
