PvE Analysis

I’ll give it to you up front, Gigantamax Gengar is one of the best Pokémon you can use for Max Battles. It has one of the highest attack stats of any Pokémon you can use for Max Battles. Not only that, Ghost-type moves are only resisted by normal and dark-type Pokémon.

Owing to both of these reasons, Gigantamax Gengar is one of the best choices to build up for Max Battles. Just bear in mind that Gengar happens to be weak to the two types its Ghost-type G-Max Attack is strong against: those being Psychic and Ghost types. As such, it would be wise to pair Gigantamax Gengar with a strong tank such as Blissey or Zamazenta. As for moves, you want Sucker Punch for G-max Gengar’s fast attack, as it is a 0.5-second attack.
