Pokemon ShowdownFireRed & LeafGreenHeartGold & SoulSilverEmeraldPlatinumBlack & White
  • This form inherits broad availability from the base species because form-specific version records are limited.
  • Planning contexts include FireRed & LeafGreen, HeartGold & SoulSilver, Emerald, Platinum, Black & White.
  • Special forms may require a battle-only transformation, item, location, DLC, transfer, or event condition.

Team pitfalls when building around Gengar Mega

  • Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to ground, psychic, and ghost.
  • Sweepers usually need defensive pivots or status support so they can enter safely.
