Seeing how Gengar was one of the most requested Pokemon on our polls and has no thread, and I just plain like Gengar 
, I decided to make a thread specifically dedicated to him.

I will post information on Gengar from his Wiki
General Info
Gengar (ゲンガー, Gengā?, Gangar in original Japanese language versions) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise—a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards, and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Gengar in the games, anime, and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon—untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments—and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2]
Gengar has an appearance evocative of a ghost or a spirit. It is a bipedal, purple entity with red eyes, big pointy ears, and it always wears an unsettling smile, which, along with stubby hands and legs, makes it look like a gremlin at times. Gengar also possesses a short tail and spikes on its back. Despite its somewhat rough outline, each individual Gengar has a consistent shape. The name is likely derived from "doppelganger. "The name Gengar refers to the species as a whole, as well as individual specimens in the games, anime and manga
Biological characteristics
Gengar often has a rather sinister personality, especially when in the wild. It inhabits remote mountainous locations and urban environments alike, being a dangerous Pokémon to encounter on either case. Fortunately, Gengar is a nocturnal Pokémon, so its attacks are limited to the hours of darkness.
Gengar tends to stalk its prospective prey, which includes human beings, and hide in their shadow. It is said that in this way, it has the opportunity to absorb the "vital force"/life of its victims. Gengar acts like a heat sink while doing this, so that its malevolent presence can be given away by a feeling of cold and a shivering sensation.
Another favorite pastime of Gengar is to mimic the shadows of people. A common prank is to take the shape of one's shadow and run past him, giving him the impression that his shadow has come alive and overtaken him. Gengar especially loves to frighten people that way during the nights of a full moon.
Role in Video Games
Gengar is not found in the wild. Its previous evolution, Haunter, can be found in all the games listed above (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, FireRed, and LeafGreen). Gengar can only be obtained by trading a Haunter over to another game cart. The availability of Gengar depends on the player's ability to find and trade with another person with a Pokémon game.
In the Nintendo DS games, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, however, Gengar became available in the wild. When the player has inserted Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen or Emerald into the bottom slot of the Nintendo DS, Gengar can be found as a wild Pokémon in the Forest Mansion.
Gengar has extremely high speed and special attack, but its offense, Hit Points and defenses are low for a stage two Pokémon. Its Ghost/Poison-type combination, combined with its Levitate ability, grants it immunity to three attack types and resistance to many more. However, its Poison-type makes it vulnurable to Psychic-types, which ironically makes it weak to the one type it is supposed to be strong against.
Gengar's combination of high speed and special attack statistics, paired with its many type immunities and resistances and wide selection of available attacks, makes it a very powerful Pokémon in player-vs.-player competition. These advantages are offset by exceedingly low physical defense, however, so the most common defense against Gengar is simply an effective physical attack to which it is not immune.
In the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series for both Nintendo GBA and DS, a Gengar is the leader of the rival rescue team commonly known as the Team Meanies. The Gengar at the beginning plays as a naughty liar who is trying to exile the protagonist of the game from his/her rescue team by falsely accusing him/her as the cause for the natural disasters in the pokemon world. It also claimed the protagonist as the bad human from the Ninetails Legend, although it isn't revealed during the first half of the story why it is commiting these evil schemes. Gengar shows who's boss around here in this game, along with Alakazam and Charizard.
Gengar also appears in the Fiore Temple in Pokemon Ranger and can abduct the Ranger's Pokemon should it come in contact with them and he/she fails to protect it.
Gengar also appears as a boss character in Pokemon Pinball.
Gengar also has important roles in Manga and anime, but because that has no say for Smash anyway, I will leave it out.

Gravity: 2/5 (floaty character)
Moveset
This moveset is not fully perfect. If you have any ideas, just post them
B- Shadow Ball- Because Mewtwo will most likely be remade if he is in, there are odds that he won't have shadow Ball anymore. Seeing as how it is a ghot-type attack, give it to Gengar with an upgrade. Faster and less Wavy while in air, if not just more powerful.
HOWEVER, in case Mewtwo does keep Shadow Ball, give Gengar his one of the Ghost-types most iconic moves;
B - Lick - Gengar licks anyone in front of him. They can be dazed if too close (like jiggly's Rest attack)
Foward/Back B -Spite- Chargable. Sends out a weird flashy-diamond looking thin (range depends on how much you charge). If it hits, it temporarily makes the other player slower and weaker (less you charge, longer it lasts).
Up B- Dark Pulse - A dark pulse surrounds Gengar, catching anyone who comes near in a fast-hitting combo. While he does this, he floats up. Last for a second or two.
Down B - Dark Punch - Gengar hops in the air and his fist glows, then strikes the ground with a tough punch. Pressing B at the right time will have him do an uppercut that sends them up a little bit. Pressing B the right time for a third time will have him do a straight punch in the air, sending opponents foward.
Super Smash Attack - Dream Eater - Gengar's staple move, shown on most every media he is in (card, anime, manga, etc.) I really don't have any good ideas for this. I was thinking mass damage to all with a random effect or daze afterwards, but I don't think that is very good. Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Other ideas for moves would be nice.
Stage - Lavander Town: Ghost Tower - takes place in Lavander town's ghost tower. A tall, mostly vertical stage with Ghastly's, Haunter's, and Cubones as hazards.
Symbol- Pokeball
Kirby Hat- Gengar spikes and ears
Well, there you have it. Creative criticism is prefered on both grounds for him being in or out (most likely the latter IMO), but please, no "gengar is stupid he suck u r stoopid" spam crap, 'teh internets' as enough stupidity already.
