Explosion For my Gengar?

Question

Well... From my previous Question My Gengar is a wall (O_O). Explosion is an egg move right? so I was thinking Would explosion Fit in well with perish song, Hypnosis, And Dream eater?

Answer 1

Perish Song Kind of Sucks, As The opponet can switch out. Relcae it with Toxic. And I Think Explosion would work great:) Its Unexpected:) *Just As The Mighty Gangar is About To Go Down, WAIT, EXPLOSION!? Amazing!

Ok so could I just get shadow ball or PAWNCH? (i'm not  that big of a fan of status ailments)

Shadow ball is better.

---

Shadow punch? his attack is half his special attack

---

Gengar is considered one of the main users of Explosion.

---

So are electrode and golem who have better attack

---

explosion is weak my typhlosion lvl79 didnt faint after a lvl 80 pokemon used it

---

If you use Perish Song, at least pair it with Mean Look to prevent a Pokemon from escaping. Explosion can be good but on a different Pokemon.

Answer 2

Explosion is a physical move so it is not to good on a gengar.
