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
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
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
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.
