Gengar is a Ghost- and Poison-type Pokémon that serves as a Tier-3 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO, and understanding its weakness is essential for taking it down. Wielding 21,207 Combat Power, this Kanto Pokémon will require at least two mid to high-level Trainers to be taken down. As a Ghost and Poison pocket monster, Gengar is resistant to Grass-, Fairy-, Normal-, Poison-, Bug-, and Fighting-type Moves. Conversely, this Raid Boss’s dual-type attribute makes it vulnerable to Ground-, Ghost-, Psychic-, and Dark-type abilities in Pokémon GO. Therefore, to take advantage of Rhyperior’s primary weaknesses, Trainers must form a Raid party that can utilize these four elements in Pokémon GO.
