I’m not good enough at dodging for Gengar! I did however like the tip about putting it in your 2nd team for Damage in the last 30 seconds if needed! Going to do that just in case! I am sure you have good Dragonites. What are your thoughts for its use.

Dragonite is good attacker for anything. Pretty up there even hugher than Ttar. Good health as well and easy to pick if you put CP sorting in the lobby.

Im going for a different strategy altogether. Usually you can watch the auto pick choices and see what the charge move is. I would imagine it will auto pick Gengars if Focus Blast is present, as focus blast from Mewtwo would destroy Tyranitars, Same with Shadow Ball and Gengar, And Alakazam would do greatly reduced damage in this raid, so skipping that as well, As long as I don’t detect Shadow Ball, I will lead with Gengars, and 2 Scizor. Quick DPS, and then bring in the Dark squad on the second round. In undermanned raids in our area, it seems like we get knocked out around the Halfway point. Once you know the moveset, you can return with adequate attackers. I am lucky and have quite a few Houdoom from the fire event, so I TMd a couple into Dark Sets. Same with Bug Pinsirs and Scizor. Ttar will always be a fallback plan, but again, if it knows Focus Blast, good luck…

Would Arcanine with Snarl / Crunch be any good for Mewtwo?

I think I will open with Gengar since he is the highest dps vs Mewtwo. Also, Gengar
will do ok versus Focus Blast since he resists fighting. But obviously the bulk of
attackers will be Tyranitar unless Mewtwo has focus blast.
I don’t think Lugia or Zapdos will do very well, as soon as you get another Mewtwo
with Shadowball you will be able to use it against Mewtwo pretty effectively.

I think I’ll use these ones.
Need a couple more charge TM’s and I can turn a couple of Fire Blast into Stone Edge to join the squad.

How do you have so many?! The only issue is if MewTwo has Focus Blast, which is why I’m using Scizor instead.

The 2 areas I play in the most have Larvitar in very good frequent spawn rates. The ground event had them every where in big numbers. Before Niantic changed things and scanning programs worked well a group of us used to hunt in packs (3-4 cars with 2-3 in a car) scanning different areas and were able to cover a fair bit of ground. Networked with telegram we would just go from Larvitar to Larvitar for 4-6hrs a night on the weekend. Pinapping every single one from day dot helped the candy count too. We did the same for Dratini before Larvitar came out.
I miss those day, they were so fun.

Weak to psychic though might be an option against focus blast…

It’s funny looking back over these old posts. My Pokémon are so much better as well as my knowing how to use them correctly now. Haha
Good thread mine this one.
I’ve done 10 MewTwo Raids and missed 2 for a 9/10 catch rate.
I’ve only just recently started using my Gengars which are relatively weak CP wise atm but I’m constantly building some up and chasing Gengar Raids trying to get 96% or above to complete a better battle squad.
This is all in order to join in on the 3 man MewTwo racing we have in our local group. I could use my Double Dark Tyranitars but the ultimate is Gengar for quicker times.
Here’s where I’m at currently.
Cool gengars, Ive just recently finished my two for last week’s EX. We had double next to each other and had an honor to do the splitting so took a chance to do with only 3 other fellow trainers, had ~50s to spare hopefully 3 man next time. This is what Ive used:
Getting there slowly. Have taken a detour using around 300K Dust on Kyogre Counters recently. I’ll get back to the Gengars later. I’ll max the 93 out but not the others. I’ll hold out for bigger IV Gastly or return of Gengar Raids.
I do like gengars but they are not my most favorite ones so I maxed only 2/3 SC/SB, last one is just like 60%. I have few others but cannot justify on spending that much resources on weaker version, do you think its worth investing so much in multiple gengars? I dont want to sound cocky or anything and it was purely in a form of banter but last week I shared a video of me deleting L20 100% gengar. They are super awesome but without shadow claw they seem more like just a glass without cannon 
what are your thoughts?
Without a doubt Shadow Claw is the best Fast Attack Move. Even with Shadow Claw Gengar is still the one that deals out the most Damage against MewTwo even with Hex or Sucker Punch as those 2 are on Par with each other. Sucker Punch Charge Move.
The only 2 real reasons for Powering up Gengar.
- Self satisfaction / collection
- MewTwo racing. If you’ve got a group of mates that Raid a lot together and get Ex Passes for the same Raid it’s good for a bit of fun to have a MewTwo race in small groups to see who can win the quickest. Teams of good Gengars will get you the edge over those using Bite/Crunch Tyranitars or Rayquza and Drgonite with Double Dragon moves.
Both are very valid points. Good luck on your quest
