What if Gengar got Ice Beam? (Well, it gets Ice Punch from tradebacks, but we're not doing tradebacks, so...)
Mega Drain wouldn't see any more use because it's used solely for coverage against the Rocks, but we'd exchange that for stronger coverage against the Rocks and even Exeggutor, among others. It'd certainly be wonderful alongside Thunderbolt, allowing Gengar to consistently get good use out of its amazing Special.

Oh, right. I momentarily forgot about Blizzard, XD. Even better!

After a long time, I just realized Persian would've been a lot better (so yeah, maybe really viable) if only it got Thunder Wave. Dropping Hyper Beam is not that much of a deal, as base attack stat sucks, and it doesn't do a lot more than Slash (without a CH). On the other hand, it would gain the ability to win vs unpara'd Chansey one on one without CH Hyper Beam, outspeeding Tauros for the TWave, screwing up Gengar and Starmie as well. Meanwhile, the CH rate supports the mixed sweeping with Bubblebeam and Thunderbolt. Persian would have had a real impact on the metagame too, imo.
