Answer 1

Pokemon that can learn False Swipe and Odor Sleuth:

Smergle

Pokemon that can learn False Swipe and Foresight:

Farfech'd, Sneasel, Weavile, Rowlett, Dartrix, Decidueye, Smergle

I would Recommend Farfech'd or Decidueye/Dartrix.

Decidueye can get Roost to heal, and can finish off some Ghost Types with Spirit Shackle/Leaf Blade. Dartrix isn't weak to Ghost, as well as doing everything Decidueye does so that is to consider. Then again, at level 100, that matters much less.

Farfech'd gets normal STAB, can use Roost for healing, has moves to finish the Pokemon off. Farfech'd is also immune to Ghost moves, so it may take less damage.

Smergle can be used as well, but has quite bad stats. If you do use it, make it's KOing move Pay Day so you can make some money while your at it. :P

I wish you luck in finding your sister a shiny Gengar! It is a very a kind gesture.

Hope I Helped!

Answer 2

Instead of requiring a setup move in Foresight or Odor Sleuth, there are two other Pokemon that might be suitable for you: Pangoro (if you can find one with the hidden ability) gets a Scrappy False Swipe, allowing it to ignore the Ghost-type immunity without the need for Foresight. Also, Mega Pinsir always has the Aerilate ability, which turns False Swipe into Flying-type so that it has no immunities.
