the ev spread for the gengar that musicaltide is talking about is actually 252 hp / 88 def/ 32 spA / 56 spDef / 80 spd timid nature. The one he suggested is an older version of that ev spread that was made using a faulty damage calculator. This one is correct. does all the stuff he was talking about, takes stab psychic from a max of 262 spA (this is claydol's max, which may seem situational, but it also helps against defensive celebi/jirachi in a tight spot, which can never ko this spread, as well as taking blissey and cloyster's ice beams), guarantees the ko on standard bulky dragon dance mence in sand, and has 303 speed for a slightly better speed creep. If you do opt to use that spread, i highly suggest you use spikes, as the gengar isn't really doing anything important without them. cloyster over metagross as bekins suggested might be nice, and with that you could afford to replace your starmie with a more reliable gar answer (celebi, zapdos, blissey) as magneton would not be quite as necessary.
