>>27915931it certainly doesn't help but Ghost pokemon had problems before that too (like Pursuit).
It's a shame too because there's a lot of really cool ghost Pokemon. They make these awesome designs and then just make their stats bad and give them bad move pools. The fact that the highest damaging physical ghost move is only 70 BP doesn't help too (There's Giratina's signature attack but it doesn't really count since nothing else can really learn it) so every physical ghost Pokemon is already at a disadvantage. Then you have tanky ghost Pokemon like Dusknoir not learning a good recovery move outside of Pain split, being slow and having no defenses like Chandelure, or just general extremely limiting move pools like Gourgeist and Trevenant.
I think my personal favorite is how Rotom loses it's ghost typing when you put it in a new form to give it an actually useable Base Stat Total. I wish they'd make a form for Rotom where it gets to keep the Electric/Ghost typing but it gets the increase to it's BST that all the other forms have.
>>27916067Yup. They have so much working against them too. It sucks because it's my favorite type but most of them are just blah.
