Ghost Pokemon General

Anonymous Sat 19 Oct 2013 19:05:51 No.14857278 View View Reply Original Report

It's October, and Gen VI has been shaping up to be a great one for Ghost Pokemon.

So, kiddies, time to discuss. What's the best Ghost type, and why? What are some of the best Ghost moves?

Although I've just kept him around because of design, I didn't even know he was strong.

the thing I like mostly about Mega Gengar is the uncanny look on its face when it opens its mouth.

It's just so much more intimidating than Gengar.

You can use sub/disable, sub/torment, sub/hypnosis, protect/disable, sub/pain split, and probably a lot more that I can't think of at the moment

Gengar is faster than the vast majority of pokemon, so he can use sub and let the opponent attack, then disable that attack. Because of Gengar's typing, most opponents only have one attack capable of doing at least 25% damage towards Gengar. So when that move is disabled, Gengar can get a free substitute and kill the opponent while still covered by the sub.

If I were to run four offensive moves on Gengar, what would have the most coverage?

Shadow Ball/Focus Blast/Dazzling Gleam/Thunderbolt seems like the best without too much extended though
