Which Protect move should I use?

Mar. 10, 2019

On my Mega Gengar in Balanced Hackmons:

Gengar @ ???Ability: Speed BoostEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Moongeist Beam- Ice Beam- Secret Sword- Protect / Spiky Shield / Baneful Bunker / King’s Shield

Also any ideas for its item would be appreciated too!

Either Spiky Shield or Baneful Bunker. Protect doesn’t have any added effects and King’s Shield doesn’t block status moves. I would personally rank Spiky Shield higher, but Baneful Bunker is also a good option.For the item, it’s hard to go wrong with Life Orb. I would recommend using a Modest nature instead of Timid because after 1-2 turns, you’re going to be outspeeding everything regardless.
