Why it's tricky: The whole gym leans on sleep, trapping, and Curse chip. Their Ghost/Poison typing is immune to Normal, so Normal attackers are dead weight.

How to win:Psychic is 2× on every one of his Pokémon (they're all Ghost/Poison) — an Espeon/Drowzee/Hypno sweeps. Dark is also strong. Carry a couple of Awakenings, avoid Normal attackers, and KO Gengar before it gets a sleep loop going.

Heads up: If something gets put to sleep, swap or wake it — a sleeping lead plus Mean LookNormal can stall you out. Lead with a fast Psychic to dictate the fight.
