Pokemon Help!!

[Railgun88]

Hey my friend has a lv 100 gengar thats really irritating. I've tried everything but his gengar has phsychic, shadow ball, energy ball, and thunderbolt. Thats shot down so many of my pokemon. I'm thinking of a torterra with thunder, earthquake, giga drain, and crunch. Good Idea, or is ther a better way?

Alakazam. That always worked for me against ghost type. I don't know what it's like in the more recent versions, but its special attack stat is through the roof. Try something along those lines.

There are plenty of options. Torterra is one. Other popular ones include Blissey, Metagross, and Scizor.

Level 100 Weavile with Pursuit will take it out. Especially with that moveset. Switch in, and use Pursuit. If he switches, it will kill Gengar, if he doesn't, you will kill it the second turn.

Have fun!

Okay what version do you have?

Diamond, I prefer the Torterra because I have a female one and I think it would just be beast to have one with Thunder. Oh BTW, I'm going to breed it with a Cranidos to get Thunder since I could just get a male and teach it Thunder. Also any recommendations for a nature preferably one to raise Sp. Def without effecting Sp. Att, and Health too.

Pretty sure Turtwig cannot learn Thunder through TM or breeding.

It's a balanced Gengar, but a normal type with psychic abilities should deal with it easily. It eliminates shadow ball as a threat, making your only real concern psychic.

My brother is the same way, training a Gengar. Though he uses Shadow Ball [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hypnosis_(move)] is also a very nice choice, among other equally powerful psychic and ghost moves.

Males pass on TM learned moves so I can have Cranidos pass on Thunder, since its only taught via TM. Egg moves are ones they naturally learn from trained Pokemon that have them. Such as Growth or Seed Bomb in the case of Turtwig.

I thought that only extended to moves the baby can also learn via TM.

The two sources I use heavily both say that the baby needs to be able to learn the move from a TM to inherit it.

Doesn't quite work like that. Only Egg moves or moves that the Pokemon can actually learn are passed on.

Torterra cannot learn Thunder, any way. Even if it could, it wouldn't be worth it. Thunder wouldn't be too terribly effective against a Gengar anyway, and you would die from Shadow Ball before you would kill it.

Use Weavile, like I suggested earlier.

 

[Railgun88]

No, I have quite a few Pokemon with moves they can't learn via level up or TM.

Lvl 100 Pichu solves everything

It really works

Sry marter, didn't read all you said. I'm trying to make it a Pokemon that can cover it's own ass. Flying types. >{

Alakazam with some ground type and dark moves (ie Earthquake/dig (if it can learn them) and sucker punch)).
It should be way faster than Gengar and be able to deal some serious damage if it's special attack and speed are way up there.

Okay, both earthquake and dig are physical attacks, but that doesn't even matter because Gengar has the levitate ability.

Pretty much any high attack (and possibly high sp. defence) dark-type pokemon will do as long as it knows sucker punch and maybe pursuit. Absol has great attack, but Cacturne is almost as good and should also be able to resist all of Gengar's attacks.

I thought Gengar's ability was Pressure. Shows what I know... anywho, if you can use legendaries then go with Giratina

Actually it could possibly be. I've only fought Gastlys and Haunters, after all.
