Answer 1

The easiest method
- Find a way to get Scrappy Pancham (chaining, gts, etc)
-Now Teach the Pancham or Pangoro false swipe
-Head to Thrifty Mega Mart
-Chain off of Haunter until you get Gengar (Gengar can only appear through Haunter) Source For Encounter

Answer 2

Well, first, get the wild Haunter. Then bring it's health to a very low level. It will start calling for help. Kill what it calls untill a Gengar appears. That's how I did similar stuff (specificaly, to get a Chansey)

I know how to chain, u idiot!!!
okay, sorry, mabye my question could be better worded.
but I wanted a strategy, since false swipe is no workin' ona da ghost type

---

Try using a move, like Endeavor, so, if the Haunter/Gengar attacked you and you have low HP, you can lower its HP to be equal to yours.

---

I'm pretty sure Endeavor doesn't work on Ghost-types, unless you have Scrappy or use Foresight/Odour Sleuth.

---

I think foresight false swipe is the best idea.

---

If you have the patience, chain for a Scrappy Pancham and then evolve it into Pangoro. Not only does it resist Ghost attacks, it can KO them with SE Crunch and use False Swipe when necessary.
