Gengar Raid Counters Guide

Gengar

Gengar is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. Its best counters are strong Dark, Ghost, Ground, and Psychic types.

It can be caught with the following CP values:

• 1566 – 1644 CP at level 20, no weather boost
• 1958 – 2055 CP at level 25 with Fog or Cloudy weather boost

Gengar is an easy solo for high-level trainers, while others would need groups of around 2 to 3 to get the job done. The Raid Boss can be shny!
