Gengar is a dual Ghost- and Poison-type Pokémon available in 3-star Raids and is soloable by Trainers with teams consisting of top Dark-, Ghost-, Ground-, and Psychic-type counters such as Mewtwo, Origin Giratina, Darkrai, and Metagross. For lower-level Trainers and Trainers lacking proper counters we recommend Raiding in larger groups (2-20).
