Is there more than 2 counters for this?
Apr. 28, 2017http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-567951792Apparently there is 2 counters for the BalancedHackmon-M-Gengar. But I was wondering if there is more.

The two Gengars in the replay both seem to rely on spore and shell smash, and their main attack is either judgement or moongeist beam. You’d need either safety goggles, poison heal, or magic bounce to safely switch into spore, (because other methods are too niche) and either unaware or normal type to safely switch into shell smash-boosted ghost attacks. These Pokemon can be made to fit the following criteria (and still be viable).

Conclusion: There are more than two counters.There were a lot of sources, but if you want me to cite a part of the answer, I’ll give links.
