The fan-favorite Gengar is a hard-hitting monster in Pokémon GO, and the ultimate definition of a glass cannon 👊

Blessed with the best Ghost-type moves in the game, this icon can do wonders with its tremendous damage output as long as you are able to dodge properly 👀

It's the top Ghost-type attacker when excluding Legendaries, Ultra Beasts, Megas, and Shadows. So, 100% worth raising a high IV Gengar for your team 💯

⚔️ Raids – Gengar’s real issue is that its Ghost/Poison typing makes it weak to Ghost as well as Psychic type attacks, two types it counters 🤕

That said, immaculate dodging is the key to Gengar's success, and if you master that, your Gengar is a top-notch threat even in neutral matchups.

It also has a Mega Evolution with an astronomically high ATK, taking Gengar's shenanigans to another level.

🛡️ Gyms – Gengar's low bulk hinders its viability as a Gym Defender, although it can surprise Fighting-type attackers thanks to its high resistance 👊

🔮 Dynamax Gengar, when released, is slated to be a major force in the meta.

Recommended moves

Great League:Shadow Claw Shadow Punch Shadow Ball
Ultra League:Shadow Claw Shadow Punch Shadow Ball

With such a strong moveset that became even grander with the addition of Shadow Punch during Gastly Community Day, Gengar is a legitimate threat in PvP that can spook out many heavyweights in this meta 👻

🔵 Great League – The wide coverage of Gengar's excellent Ghost-type moves makes it pretty resourceful in the Great League. Note that it absolutely needs Shadow Punch, since the 35 energy move helps it bait shields 🔰

🟡 Ultra League – This is Gengar's best PvP showing and it relies heavily on baiting opponent's shields while dealing high damage. Moreover, Shadow Ball ensures a scary nuke move when shields are down 😎

However, the prominence of Giratina (Altered) and Cresselia, as well as other Ghost and Psychic types, makes it a difficult day at the office for Gengar 🫣

This requires you to create teams that are heavily inclined towards protecting Gengar against its weaknesses, often causing inconvenience. In a nutshell, it fares extremely well against a lot of matchups but suffers otherwise.

🟣 Master League – Gengar is unfortunately dampened by inferior stats and performance when compared to the usual suspects in the Master League.

More information

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Gengar, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.

The following table shows all the different catch rate multipliers in Pokémon GO:
