No Obvious Change
It doesn't look like there's any benefit to Gengar's new moves, but it's still an interesting change for Pokemon Go players. After all, this is the first Pokemon to get its own unique dodge move, and it adds a ton of personality in battle.
Some players are speculating that Gengar's new dodge move and look could mean that Gengar is getting a shiny variant soon, but that seems rather unlikely. After all, what's the point of releasing a Shiny variant right after the Halloween event has ended. Gengar also has a pretty boring Shiny variant (it's an even darker shade of blackish-purple), so we're not sure why Pokemon Go would add it over some other Shiny Pokemon.
Still, players should keep an eye out to see what other changes are hiding in Pokemon Go's code.
