I use magnetons, steelix, scizor and I have no problems facing gengar, only if it has WoW for steelix and scizor and it is not something I can't deal with, sub puncher if for magnetons and it is really easy to stop, etc I don't see what the big deal is and about pursuit I don't see people is using it more now than before, after the split I've always seen pursuit pokemons like metagross, aerodactyl, etc. Aerodactyl was less used because it lacked the power to kill blissey without flinches. If you're having troubles leading with gengar then I suggest u using fasters pokemon, trappers, steel pokemon, etc and don't use ludicolo if you're scared of sludge bomb. Gengar still not that used, it was below 50% I think in the last tourney and I WONT believe if u say people don't have gengars, come on e.e it is not that difficult to stop. My opinion
