Sludge Bomb Effect

Hurls unsanitary sludge to the designated area, leaving opposing Pokemon poisoned when it hits.

How to Use Sludge Bomb

Pressure Opponents' HP

Pokemon UNITE - Gengar Disrupting Farming with Sludge Bomb

Sludge Bomb turns your Will-O-Wisp into a single orb that can be hurled from a greater distance. It also applies Poison instead of Burning now. This particular move allows you to chip away at opponents' health from a safe distance as well as disrupt farming.

Take Advantage of Slow to Escape

Pokemon UNITE - Gengar Using Sludge Bomb to Escape

Hitting an opponent with a Sludge Bomb will decrease their movement speed for a few seconds. This allows Gengar to finish off the opponent or simply retreat to a safe area.

Set Up Hex Combo

Pokemon UNITE - Gengar Using the Sludge-Hex Burst Combo

Since Sludge Bomb inflicts Poison, you can quickly follow it up with a Hex to take advantage of its low cooldown effect. This allows you to chain multiple Hexes for as long as the target is inflicted with the status effect.
