A ghost type bird, especially an owl, is a fantastic idea. It's never been done before and would fit an owl's theme nicely. Owls are spooky. HOWEVER, what bothers me is that Decidueye is NOT spooky whatsoever. He seems more inspired by the nerdy student stereotype we see in anime. This is especially made apparent when he's seen pushing up his glasses (a common anime trope). Really, his ghost typing seems more like an afterthought than anything. If they wanted him to look like a ghost they could have easily done so. I'm slightly upset that the possibility of a GENUNINELY spooky or traditional looking ghost type owl is almost impossible now. A barn owl would have been perfect for this.
