Gengar! The original Ghost type! Its one of the most iconic Pokemon! How good was Gengar actually in Competitive Pokemon during Gens 1-6? Find out with False Swipe Gaming!
DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth. Now Popular does not mean official even though two of the formats I will be covering were official formats being Japan Nintendo Cup and VGC, but it is an indicator of what a good portion of competitive players thought was “optimal” at the time.
To the people asking why I don't cover Smogon Singles for Gens 1 and 2: It wouldn't really be a history video if I covered those because online Smogon gen 1 meta to my knowledge wasn't actually played until late 2000s. I wanted to cover tournaments/competitive battling that was actually played during the early years of Pokemon (late 90s).
To the people asking why I cover Smogon at all for singles: To my knowledge, Smogon was the most popular format for Gens 3-5 and held a number of tournaments throughout the years. As for Gen 6, I am not covering Battle Spot Singles because there is more information and explanations about sets being used relative to their own meta on Smogon. In other words, there are few written analyses about Battle Spot Pokemon besides the Top tiers and I would like to avoid theorycrafting because it may have a hint of bias (though I theorycraft if I REALLY couldn't find information on a certain Pokemon). The keyword here is explanations. Though I did find statistics of most Pokemon used and most moves used, there wasn't really any explanations on why. Also the few Pokemon I did find analysis of for Top Tier Battle Spot Singles had very similar move sets to the Smogon OU sets anyway.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent and I will not fault you for using evasion or whatever, I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Normal Gengar has actually been bumped back up to "OU" in Smogon's tierlist despite the fact it has lost Levitate. Turns out it still can kick ass with a Choice Specs set because almost nothing in OU resists it's ghost stab attacks. Of the three Dark types in the meta two have a second typing that removes their resistance to the attack. There is only one normal type, Chansey, in the Meta, and Chansey hates either getting by Force Miss or getting her Eviloite tricked away.

Gengar only dropped due to losing Levitate in Sun and Moon. Honestly, I still don't think the games have been out enough to determine how good Gengar is without Levitate. He still hits hard, has an amazing move pool, and fits a variety of roles. I personally think people have overreacted to the loss of Levitate. Gengar is still awesome, and his Uber form is still busted.

I still don't know why decided to get rid of Gengar's Levitate. Sure, none of his sprites show him floating or anything of the sort, but at the Mimikyu trial (in the exact same game he got Cursed Body, mind you) he was walking through the air like it's another Tuesday. At least he got Nasty Plot and one of the best Gigantamax forms.

Jolteon or Vaporeon? I'd say Flareon, but everyone knows that story.

Isaac 10 Flareon: sucked until Gen 6 when it learned Flare Blitz That's the entire video.

I know it's not Gen 1, but of all the eeveelutions, I kinda wanna know about Umbreon. I mean, my Umbreon did me complete wonders during my times of playing Pokemon White, and I weirdly made my Umbreon less of a complete special wall and more of a general tank (At level 100, Defense is only 7 points from Special Defense, and HP is completely maxed out). What if it's any better in previous generations, or worse perhaps? And has anyone in actual competitive formats had any use for Umbreon?

I hope yall remake this video, there is no reason why the HAUNTER video is longer than this one other than it being old, outdated, and lacking of info.

@False Swipe Gaming MCiceGar was the most common in gen 3 actually just because it countered the old skarm bliss combinations alongside soft countering Snorlax and Forretress. It was the sole reason people started switching from dd Ttar to Tyraniboah with pursuit ;>

Well I really love Gengar even I have 3 Gengar in my Soul Silver pokemon. But Its so sad the only way to evolve it in all series of Pokemon is trading

Now he's obtainable in his final form, in the overworld in a Pokemon game! Pretty sure that's never happened before.
