main set if everything goes right is essentially send out mega gengar incineroar. fake out into something that threatens mega gengar and then mega gengar perish songs then protect on turn 2 on both mons hard switch gengar into anything you deem fit that you brought and then parting shot a pokemon on the opposing side if you cant parting shot on them then u can parting shot on ur own mon this is really conditional and things can go wrong
