Depends on the build.

 

[Blaziken 1111]

Or who is the better player.

Not that important in Gengar.

Usually 3 things - Each deck's build, number of Unown G run, and what sort of start each deck gets. The skill of each player has less of an effect that those.

 

[Charzano]

Gengar! Lol but the skill of the player does matter. Gengar isn't a deck you can just pick up and win with. It's not the hardest deck to learn to play, and anyone can flip heads, but what do you do when your opponent doesn't have any trainers in their hand and no pokemon with powers? What now? You have to know how to work with the deck in those situations.

Gengar has colorless resistance, so it wouldn't help much in the mirror matchup.

When you are playing the mirror match with Gengar, you have to go for their bench and play your Looker's strategically. Don't let them set up Unown G.

It depends on what is run. I personally think Gengar/Crobat is ridiculously bad to have won any BR's, but there are other varients.

 

[Red Haired Shanks]

It depends on the better build, the player, and the set up.

 

[Happiny13]

The player who can get set up and plays at least 2 unown G should probably win but there are some tricks that can let the better player win.

 

[Jolteon]

who have more Unown G haha

 

[i like burdn of a day]

whoevr has more unown g and the better start.

How does resistance matter if Ditto is placing damage counters?

 

[Xuii2-the-cleric]

every gengar i have faced i beat

 

[gashmoigidy]

every gengar i have faced i beat

...How did that help the OP? Anyway, Yeah unown g, ur hand, and nidoqueen all help

 

[Xuii2-the-cleric]

no crobat kills and quick kill i dont run queen

 

[FunnyBear]

whoevr has more unown g and the better start.

Not a bad answer. I would have said whomever flips heads most, which is probably more true.

In a Gengar mirror Fainting Spell isn't really used. It depends on the varient.

The Unown G count is not the deciding point of the match. If you play none then it does but if its two vs. three, it probably won't matter.

Why would it not matter? If Gengar A can Guard 3 of their Gengars, or 2 and their Claydol, and Gengar B can only Guard 2 of their Gengars, or 1 and their Claydol, Gengar A is going to have a definite advantage.

The player who is able to get the most Shadow Room KOs is probably going to be the one who comes out on top. Thus, the amount of Unown G that each deck runs is very much a deciding factor in who wins.
