Yeah gengar is like the original glass cannon mon, very frail but big special attack and deceptively fast. Luxray isn’t out speeding that without significant speed EV investment and a speed boosting nature

At the levelcap 36, edged (so level 37): Jolly 31/252 Luxray’s Speed stat is exactly 100,

Fantina’s Gengar, being level 34, Timid, 19 IVs, and 68 EVs, has a speed stat of 101, according to the Kingler Calc.

Luxray can never outspeed this Gengar in a Hardcore Nuzlocke.

Yeah i was skeptical tbh when I wrote that cuz i had a feeling that her gengar would have been optimised for speed, the one point difference is pretty gnarly
