Encore Disable is a ridiculous gimick.
It's way too predictable, which makes it easy to handle. "Oh? They're leading with Whimsicott / Gengar? Gee! I wonder what they're going to do!"
It also wastes way too many turns fooling around with non-attacking moves. This noob used a grand total of 4 attacking moves in 12 turns. They were too hung up trying to posture to achieve their goal to actually do any damage to anyone.
What a joke. I guess if your opponent hasn't ever seen it before it could win you a game or two. I guess.
If you ever face it:
1) Keep their only win condition in mind. That Whimsicott isn't going to hurt you. It's going to try to tie your hands. Unless it's going to be your only target, ignore it. Disable doesn't do Gengar any good until you can be Encored. Keep in mind the flow you see in this video: Protect, Encore+Disable, Protect/Setup, Encore+Disable, posture, posture, posture. Take advantage of the fact that you know what they're going to do.
2) Ghost types, U-Turn, and Volt Switch ignore Mega Gengar's Shadow Tag.
3) Outspeed them (hence my priority Swagger and scarfed Thundurus).
4) Don't be predictable yourself. If you keep them guessing they're more likely to focus on the wrong mon.
5) Attack, Attack, ATTACK! Bring your big guns. Double target. That way while they're busing fooling around with non-attacking moves you're smashing them in the face.
6) Getting locked into Struggle isn't the end of the world. Crazily, Struggle hits Ghost types?! So, after you've smashed Gengar with something else, and it just has a sliver of health, you might be able to donk it out with Struggle.
7) Don't use moves that they could easily Encore you into. I knew they would predict that I'd Fake Out + Iron Head their Whimsicott. I also knew they would Protect and Will O Wisp. Then they'd Encore my Fake Out and Disable my Iron Head or Sucker Punch on the next turn. My hands would have been tied on turn 2. That's why I switched in my fast guys on Turn 1 instead.
8) Don't let it frustrate you.
