Gourgeist help

[Marcusube]

I have a singles build for Gourgeist. I also think that Frisk is better for Gourgeist than Insomnia, seeing as how the most common move to put Pokemon to sleep is of grass typing which Gourgeist is immune to and anything that can put it to sleep would be able to faint it before Gourgeist gets set up. So my idea is:

Gourgeist-Super @ Leftovers
Ability: Frisk
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpD
Impish Nature
- Trick-or-Treat
- Will-O-Wisp
- Shadow Sneak/Phantom Force
- Leech Seed

Defensive Calculations

252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 220+ Def Gourgeist-Super: 158-188 (82.2 - 97.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I am under the assumption that you are either using an average sized Gourgeist or the event Super Gourgeist for no other size gets Insomnia.

I threw out Toxic for Will-o-Wisp mainly because Toxic doesn't affect steel types or poison types. Will-o-Wisp affects all typing except fire but it also cuts the opponents attack stat in half which makes Gourgeist last longer as a physical wall. Trick-or-Treat is a nice touch I must admit. I hope you will consider combining it with Sucker Punch in doubles kappa . Shadow Sneak is to get even more chip damage off when stalling out the opponent + it has priority, however, Phantom Force gives you a turn of invulnerability and deals 90 base damage plus STAB. Leech Seed is good for it scares the opponent out into another Pokemon, and with the correct predictions, you can get a perfect switch in and turn the game to your favor in singles.

Try it and I hope it works for you
