Best Partners for Mega Gengar in VGC
Summary
In Pokémon Champions this thread asks who to pair with Mega Gengar, suggesting Rillaboom, Incineroar, Oranguru, and Bronzong to form fire-water-grass cores or counter Trick Room. The announcement discusses sludge wave interactions, Imprison/Instruct strategies, and shares a replay for reference to help community teambuilding and match-up planning.
Rillaboom and the rain frog are such an obvious choice. And incin would make a fire water grass core and be incin. Gengar got sludge wave in gen 8 so I think oranguru or a steel type partner (mainly bronzong) would be nice to rip those off and counter trick room with imprison/instruct. But what is everyone else planning?
Not sure if it’s helpful but I went up against this team today. Might give you an idea
Only a replay no showdown paste

I think that guy wanted the fish and Gengar to have the same roll and it didn't work out well for him. I think no terrain is probably a bad choice
