>>52117728Yep subs are free. I won't even look at dark types because unless they have 0 spdef, they won't be dying to the random non stab dazzling gleam from 105 spatk. But for ghosts, they are still susceptible to Lumina Crash and at +1, Espathra outspeeds every ghost with 144 speed EVs, assuming Dragapult is the fastest one. I gave Gothitelle Espathra's stats and lowered Psychic to 80 power to replicate Lumina Crash's power for these calcs, so if you see at least 33% from the calcs here, this means she will finish them next turn unless they run leftovers/assault vest or, of course, are scarfed. For note, I am renaming the target of Lumina Crash with these calcs but Gothitelle always refers to Espathra, and of course the targets' typing and stats are fixed to match their real ones. Espathra's EVs in here are 114 hp, 252 spa, 144 speed. Here are some calcs with some short comments after...
252+ SpA Gothitelle Psychic vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Dragapult: 153-180 (48.2 - 56.7%) -- 88.3% chance to 2HKO
Dragapult obviously wins if it's scarfed.
252+ SpA Gothitelle Psychic vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Skeledirge: 151-178 (36.6 - 43.2%) -- 98.8% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Unaware doesn't apply to your own lowered stats, and after the -2, Shadow Ball is an ohko.
252+ SpA Gothitelle Psychic vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Houndstone: 124-147 (43.5 - 51.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
It's worth noting Houndstone does outspeed you with sand rush during sandstorm, but its only good stab is, for some reason, Phantom Force, which you can respond to. After that, it has Crunch which you survive unless banded. I won't cover Brambleghast because it's a similar story, you outspeed and eliminate it before it can respond unless boosted by tailwind.
252+ SpA Gothitelle Psychic vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Gholdengo: 65-77 (17.1 - 20.3%) -- possible 5HKO
This looks like a spook but Good as Gold doesn't prevent the -2 spdef though I may be wrong, and if it doesn't, Shadow Ball is a one shot after.
