High special stats and speed, poor physical stats and mediocre health, reflecting on how necromancers are physically frail but magically powerful in most fantasy media. A glass cannon of some sort, but a very powerful one.
As for abilities, a signature one would have to involve controlling spirits that apply an additional fraction of damage, so perhaps something like Mega Kangaskhan’s ability? And I would like it to have Magic Guard as a HA, because why not, this concept is as frail as Alakazam, and has two quad weaknesses, in exchange for higher special power and speed. Oh, and some healing moves such as Life Dew and Heal Pulse, abysmal how the mage pokemon can’t heal other pokemon.
