    • EVs would totally be helpful here.

    Anyway, Gengar needs a Timid nature to outspeed as much as it can. It can also get away with just Shadow Ball and Focus Blast as its lone offensive moves; Ghost + Fighting is unresisted:
    -Substitute
    -Shadow Ball
    -Focus Blast
    -Disable/Pain Split/Thunderbolt/Hidden Power (Fire)
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Leftovers/Black Sludge/Life Orb

    For Jellicent, Substitute and Water Spout clash; the latter move gets stronger the more HP Jellicent has, and using Sub drains the user's HP, weakening Water Spout. Jellicent is also bulky enough, so it doesn't need Sub much at all. Water Spout is also better off in offensive sets:
    -Scald/Surf
    -Will-o-Wisp/Toxic
    -Recover
    -Taunt
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 248 HP/216 Def/44 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Scald
    -Will-o-Wisp/Toxic
    -Shadow Ball/Ice Beam
    -Recover
    Nature: Calm
    EVs: 252 HP/36 Def/220 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Water Absorb

    or
    -Water Spout
    -Shadow Ball
    -Surf/Scald/Hydro Pump
    -Ice Beam/Giga Drain
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 172 HP/252 SAtk/84 Spe
    Item: Choice Specs
    Ability: Water Absorb

    Banette isn't good honestly, except be a suicide Trick Room user. Using a Jolly nature ruins the point of Trick Room, since Jolly boosts Speed, and Trick Room makes slow Pokemon go first temporarily. Ideally, a Banette set should look like this:
    -Trick Room
    -Shadow Claw
    -Destiny Bond
    -Taunt/Will-o-Wisp
    Nature: Brave
    EVs: 252 Atk
    Item: Focus Sash
    Ability: Insomnia/Cursed Body

    While Dusclops is better than Dusknoir in terms of defensive utility, Dusknoir has better offensive presence. But IMO, I think you should go with Cofagrigus because it has high defenses while still having decent offenses:
    -Trick Room
    -Nasty Plot
    -Shadow Ball
    -Hidden Power (Fighting)
    Nature: Quiet
    EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Shadow Ball
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Haze
    -Pain Split
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/136 Def/120 SDef
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Calm Mind
    -Shadow Ball
    -Hidden Power (Fighting)
    -Rest/Pain Split
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Chesto Berry/Leftovers

    Spiritomb is a decent choice because of its lack of weaknesses and high defenses. However, it suffers from a lack of resistances, other than Poison, Psychic, Normal and Fighting (Spiritomb is immune to the latter 3 types):
    -Sucker Punch
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Pursuit
    -Trick/Will-o-Wisp
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 172 HP/252 Atk/84 Spe
    Item: Choice Band/Blackglasses
    Ability: Pressure

    or
    -Calm Mind
    -Dark Pulse
    -Rest
    -Sleep Talk
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Pressure

    or
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Pain Split/Rest
    -Sucker Punch
    -Shadow Sneak
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/192 Def/64 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Pressure

    Other Ghost Pokemon to consider include Chandelure (for its massive Special Attack and decent offensive movepool), Sableye (for Prankster and good support movepool), Froslass (for speedy Spikes stacking) and Golurk (for its high Attack and good move pool):

    Chandelure:
    -Substitute
    -Fire Blast
    -Shadow Ball
    -Hidden Power (Fighting)/Energy Ball/Pain Split
    Nature: Modest/Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe

    Ability: Flash Fire

    or

    -Shadow Ball
    -Energy Ball
    -Hidden Power (Fighting)/Trick
    Nature: Modest/Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
