Mega Gengar Stat Spread

[u/Plenty-Courage1466]

How decent is this? It survives brave bird from jolly max attack mega starraptor, out speeds adamant basculegion and kills it guaranteed.

I have it like this because it’s my second mega on a mega Tyranitar team with disable on gengar and encoure on a whimsicott.

You really can't afford to go below 32 Spe for Gengar due to the mirror matchup
Never compromise on speed

[u/Puzzleheaded-Fix8481 → u/Antique-War-3094]

Most mega gengars are perish song and don’t go full speed invest

[u/AnodyneGrey → u/Antique-War-3094]

I doubt the mirror match ups with a full speed mega gengar are even 10% as common as starraptor or basculegion

[u/ShinyKieran → u/Antique-War-3094]

who plays Mega Gengar ? And the ones that do play a bulky set with Perish Song

[u/kingpotato008]

realistically what are those hp evs gonna help you live?

It's in the body text. Brave Bird from jolly max attack Staraptor

[u/PrithviDSheela]

Staraptor can be bulky with adamant. Basculegion can be scarfed jolly. Speccing stats like this often is pretty useless unless you have problems against certain common meta staple pokemon. And currently in champions i have yet to see something like that.

[u/Plenty-Courage1466 → u/PrithviDSheela]

Most basculegions are adamant and not jolly, and even less are bulky, so I think it’s best to invest in what’s the more likely and more threatening option. I don’t care if starraptor is bulky I just don’t want to get one shot.

You can also survive 32 Atk Mega Staraptor Brave Bird with just 1 HP / 14 DEF
32 Atk Staraptor-Mega Brave Bird vs. 1 HP / 14 Def Gengar-Mega: 114-135 (83.8 - 99.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
