Should I use Eviolite Doublade or Nasty Plot Life Orb Gengar in Gen 8 OU?

Aug. 12, 2020

I want to know which ghost is better for gen 8 OU. I’ve tried the both of them and Doublade is defensive and specially defensive while Gengar is an all out attacker.

ProsGood Eviolite userGreat typingHas priority and boosting movesGood coverage choices

ConsIt’s in UU, which is not good when you’re playing OU.No recovery moves, which makes entry hazards a threat for it

ProsBrilliant Special Attack and SpeedNasty Plot boosts that Special Attack even higherAccess to things like Hypnosis and Focus Blast

ConsSort of frailNo reliable recovery outside of RestIn UUBL, meaning it isn’t quite OU-level

Hope I helped! I would prefer Gengar in most scenarios, but it depends on the situation, as Doublade is also quite good.
