Best teams for Gengar in Pokemon GO

Gengar is one of the oldest Ghost-type Pocket Monsters in Pokemon GO. In fact, this creature was introduced to the Pokemon franchise back in the first generation. It is a dual Ghost- and Poison-type beast, which gives it a lot of utility on the battlefields of the Pokemon GO Battle League. While it is one of the hardest-hitting attackers in the PvP, Gengar is the true definition of a glass cannon due to its low stamina.

In this article, we will take a look at the best teams for Gengar in the GO Battle League.
