Mega-Gengar VGC Team Building Help | Pokémon Champions

Summary

The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server is hosting a deep dive into optimizing a Mega-Gengar competitive team. This discussion focuses on refining EV spreads to survive key hits from threats like Rillaboom and finding more reliable counters for Kingambit. Community members are analyzing current team pastes and debating the viability of classic cores to reduce RNG reliance and improve overall team consistency in high-stakes VGC matches.

The current version paste: https://pokepast.es/375f53b545d86e4d
I've post it on Reddit before but I need more help

The post explain most things and I've only changed Gengar EV
25+ Atk Rillaboom High Horsepower vs. 2 HP / 14 Def Gengar-Mega: 118-140 (86.1 - 102.1%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO

I also found that H-arc isn't a safe Kingambit counter, sometimes forces me to bring Kommo-O in a unsafe matchup
A slightest mistake even RNG would make this team collapse so please help me find better version with margin of error.
