Gengar is a great Mega Evolution Pokemon to use in ranked matches for Legends Z-A, especially with the best moveset and nature.
Gengar is one of the most famous Ghost-type Pokemon, and it makes a return in Legends Z-A. This Ghost type Pokemon is as powerful as it is iconic and capable of dealing a lot of damage. Here is the best moveset and nature for Gengar.
Best Gengar Moveset in Pokemon Legends Z-A
- Perish Song
- Curse
- Sludge Bomb
- Shadow Ball
This Gengar moveset is built to annoy your opponent as much as possible. Gengar has access to both Curse and Perish Song. These are extremely dangerous moves when used correctly.
Perish Song will essentially force your opponent to switch their Pokemon or risk losing it entirely. This is meaningful as it will use up the limited supply of switches available in battle.
Sludge Bomb deals good damage (combined with Same Type Attack Bonus or STAB for short), and has a 30% chance to poison the enemy as well. If you do not want to rely on the poison chance, then you can replace this with Sludge Wave, which has comparatively higher power, but a lower chance to poison.
Lastly, Shadow Ball is just a strong Ghost-type move that will round out the build. You are advised to hold off on using Curse until later in the match. This is because it depletes your health by 50%. So, you can use it when Gengar is already dropping into critical health levels to unleash a Curse before departing.
Best Gengar Nature in Pokemon Legends Z-A
Gengar (and Mega Gengar) relies on its Special Attack to succeed in battle. So, you should definitely consider a Special Attack boosting nature. You can easily get this via Nature Mints, which are sold at various shops across the city. The best natures for Gengar would be:
- Modest (+SpA/-Atk)
- Calm (+SpD/-Atk)
- Bold (+Def/-Atk)
Gengar’s defense is not anything noteworthy. So, you might want to invest some points into those stats to boost Gengar’s survival rates. Apart from that, Modest is an obvious choice, simply to enable it to deal more damage.
Gengar Stats and Location
You can get Gengar without trading during the main story itself. Alternatively, you will have to receive a Haunter via trading to evolve it into Gengar. This can easily be done by using a Trade Code as well. Alternatively, there is a chance for an Alpha Gengar to spawn in Wild Zone 20.
The stats for Gengar are:
- HP: 60
- Attack: 65
- Defense: 60
- Special Attack: 130
- Special Defense: 75
- Speed: 110
Meanwhile, its stats after Mega Evolution are:
- HP: 60
- Attack: 65
- Defense: 80
- Special Attack: 170
- Special Defense: 95
- Speed: 130
