Actually, Unown G comes later. What happens is that a Dialga G player can Energy Gain to deafen lock, preventing a Gengar from coming into existence in the first place. Then once they have two metal energy then can replace the Energy Gain with an Unown G while continuing the Deafen Lock. Mind, this is the whole going second debacle, as a Dialga G deck going first usually ends up Calling so they can spray. I've rarely seen Dialga G players put Unown G players down on Dialga G unless they believed it was in danger of being Taken Out.
Most Dialga G decks don't really care about Shadow Room, really, especially with Bronzong, since if it looks like it'll be knocked out they just Galactic Switch and then Poke Turn to a different Dialga G. It's ungodly annoying, really.

How on earth can an Energy Gain be replaced for Unown G?

He probably meant to replace the Dialga entirely with Bronzong + Poketurn. The new Dialga would have the Unown G.

Honestly, I rarely see Gengar players tech for any deck, unless their local metagame is swamped with a particular deck. Though, of all the ones I've tried and seen, Houndoom G is the one I come across the most often and the one that's easiest to set up.
Yeah, bad explanation on my part, but you guys get the general gist of it.
I think tools count as trainers so I dont think you can attach energy gain.

In most metagames, yes. But you have to do research of what's popular in your area and then you have to tweak it accordingly.

Why bother when you can just do poltergeist think about it two for up to like 210 i dont see a downside
Except that everyone will have gengar on their radar and gengar is quite easily countered.
So anyone smart will probably just nring a deck that eats gengar (enough unown g / ways to get around f.spell etc)
And if your opponent did their homework there's nothing you can do if you play gengar.
I love having a Magnezone or somthing similar with G and nothing Gengar can target and just watch them not doing anything at all xD

Dialga G Lvl X + 4 Special Metals + 20 Resistance to Psychic = -60 to all Poltergeists. Not good.
Yes. In fact, you could also knock out Gengar using the placing of damage counters, or effects of an attack, such as Jirachi's Doom Desire.
