Mega Gengar
Mega Gengar - a close relative to Gengar - inPokemon GOis pretty powerful, as its attack moves are the poison type moves Lick and Shadow Ball.

Mega Gengar has a Max CP of 4902 inPokémon GO. It is weather-boosted by Fog and Cloudy weather, and it was originally found in the Kanto region.Shiny Mega Gengar is available inPokemon GO. Remember that Mega Gengar is weak against Dark, Ghost, Ground, and Psychic-type Pokemon but also has reduced damage from Fairy, Grass, Bug, Normal, Poison, and Fighting-type Pokemon as well.
Shadow Gengar
Next up is Shadow Gengar. This Pokemon is basically a normal Gengar, but that has been, in a sense, cursed by Team Rocket. InPokemon GO,you will be able to defeat Team GO Rocket in many different forms, whether that be at a PokeStop or a floating Rocket balloon above your location. Shadow Gengar can be obtained from defeating any member of the Rocket Team, after doing so, you will be able to rescue the Shadow Pokemon. Another way that this Pokemon can be caught is through Shadow Raid Boss raids, which are basically a raid of any basic Pokemon that has the Shadow curse.
Some might wanna purify their Shadow Pokemonfrom its purple clouds around it and its red eyes. However, it might be best to leave it be. When a Pokemon is deemed Shadow, it will give an extra attack bonus to its attack moves, making it even stronger than its original form.
Shadow Gengar has a Max CP of 3254 inPokemon GO,and there’s no Shiny Shadow Gengar in Pokemon Go. When using this Pokemon, it is best to remember that it is weak to Dark, Ghost, Ground, and Psychic-type Pokemon, but is strong against Fairy, Grass, Bug, Normal, Poison, and Fighting-type attacks.
