I've always thought she looked kind of weird. Like she doesn't have a body and is instead all wings.

But otherwise I think she's pretty cool looking, and a nice combination of typings that I honestly wasn't expecting.

True that, I actually just looked closely at her body... it almost looks like a skeleton. Tbh though she's always just struck me as a bat. Probably going to be one of my favorite legends.

Hey I'd like to join.
Preferred Nickname: i0Bjhansen0
Favorite Ghost: Oooo this is a toughy. Always liked Gengar but Dusknoir was my favorite when I found it existed.
First club partner: Duskull
Reason: I was always fascinated by Ghost types when I started playing Pokemon on Pearl. I got to Eterna Forest at night so I was able to pick up a Ghastly and Misdreavus. And not too long ago I did a Ghost-type Monotype challenge on Platinum. When I first got Y, I had a Gengar on my team with a Gengarite and it basically KO'd every other Pokemon.

Now I'm going to reply to every topic said so far cause I want to.
-My favorite Ghost-type combination would actually just be Ghost. I really liked Duskull/clops/noir a lot when I used them. And Misdreavus/magius was really cool to see when I got to Fantina's Gym. I liked Shuppet/Banette cause of their frisk ability.
-Favorite Ghost move would have to be Hex. It has the potential of being the strongest Ghost-type move if the opponent has a condition. Works great with Gengar with Toxic/Will-O-Wisp, or other Ghost Pokemon with Will-O-Wisp.
-Gengar or Chandelure? Well, Gengar was my favorite until I found out about Chandelure. Then it became a question of "Which one can I find first?" and "When does Lampent stop learning good moves?" whether of which I would use if I couldn't have both.
-Custom Ghost-type: Oh wow this one's a toughy. I would have to say something a mix of Litleo with a Ghostly aspect to it that would be Normal/Ghost. Definitely a four-legged animal that has a dark presence to it.
-First trained Ghost-type would actually be Dusknoir on Platinum. My first game was Pearl so Duskull was after the Elite Four and Ghastly/Haunter was just in my team to have a Ghost-type. I didn't know much of what I was doing at the time so I never truly trained any of my Pokemon. And then when I found Duskull on Platinum I trained it really well and made it a Dusknoir ASAP.
-Pokken: Well I don't play Pokken but I would have to say Dusknoir. It's got fists so it would be good fighting. Plus it can learn many punching moves.
-Ghost trainer: Definitely one that wears a mask like Duskull and wears a cloak. Would mainly use Duskull/Dusclops/Dusknoir and sometimes Shuppet/Banette as they were introduced in Gen 3 together.
---Lunaala..... I don't know what to say. I'm disappointed it's a Ghost-type because that means one less Ghost-type that can be truly used in creating a team as Legendary Pokemon can't breed. And I'm also disappointed that it looks terrible IMO. But other people think differently so they may like it 100%. I'm also disappointed that Solgaleo was Steel/Psychic. We already have Beldum-line and Bronzor-line that are those types. Would have been cooler as a Fire/Psychic type to keep with the Sun being hot and stuff. Also, Lunaala should have been Psychic/Dark. Either way, Lunaala has an advantage over Solgaleo as Ghost is 2x to Solgaleo.

I'd like to propose a new topic. How about the worst Ghost-type Pokemon in your opinion?
I'll start off with Frillish/Jellicent. I thought that a jellyfish Pokemon shouldn't have been Ghost. I avoided it in Gen 5 as much as I possibly could and I would never put it into a Ghost team. If I was forced to use it if I had a Ghost team, I would change to Poison and still keep Gengar. The only thing I liked is the gender-differences being different colors.

P.S. I think I'm going to start a Ghost team on OR.

noa June 16th, 2016 9:21 PM

Preferred Nickname: Noa
Favorite Ghost-Type: Banette
First Club Partner: (Shuppet)
Reason for Joining: Ghost types are spooky and cute, and I love spooky and cute! It's a really cool type, and many of Pokemon's coolest designs are ghosts.
Answer to Current Topic: Create a new ghost-type trainer. What would they look like and what Pokemon would they have? I'd like a cute, spooky, shy girl, (maybe called Spooky Girl) not quite as crazy as Hex Maniac but someone who's just interested in the occult. She hangs out at haunted places. I think she'd only have one Pokemon, a Misdreavus. Oh, I think I'm going places with this one! Maybe I'll make an OC of her...

My least favorite ghost is probably the Litwick evolution line. Litwick itself isn't so bad... a cute little candle Pokemon? I can deal. It's when we start getting to lamps and chandeliers; these are things Pokemon should not be based off of. But I understand with over 700 Pokemon, inspiration for new ones might be a little scarce.

And speaking of ghost teams, I actually bred and EV'd myself one this month. I have Chandelure, Trevenant, Jellicent, Golurk, Frosslass and Aegislash. They all have perfect IVs in all the right stats (at least 5), except for Trevenant, which I got lucky and managed to get a 6 IV (and a shiny)! Was a pretty decent project, got me into the breeding mechanics of 6th gen.

Oh. Speaking of perfect shinies. I managed to breed a perfect IV shiny Magnemite (minus the attack IV). But who uses attack for Magnezones? I freaking freaked the freak out when I saw it was shiny. I freaked even more when I found it at perfect IVs (for the important stats).

P.S. I've been using a little trick of mine using one of the perfect IV dittos I got from destinedjagold to breed my teams. I usually manage to get 5/6 31 IVs that I need for each Pokemon within 30- 80 Pokemon (give or take 20-30).

Haha right on. Yeah I have 3 or 4 6 IV Dittos I've gotten through various forums/giveaways. I can get a 5 IV, positive natured Pokemon usually within filling my party with eggs 2 or 3 times, so 18/20 eggs. It's not very hard with the Destiny Knot and Everstone lol.

Exactly, I first try to get the right natured Pokemon with the egg moves I want first, then I do my trick. I have the 6 IV Ditto and the Pokemon together, then find an egg with 4/6 31 IV Pokemon, then put that into with the Ditto, then find one with 5/6 31 IVs, and if it doesn't have the right stats then I put that one back in until I Find a 6/6 31 IV Pokemon, or the 1 IV that isn't is the opposite attack stat that I don't care about.

I would like to join!!

My favorite Ghost Type right now is Drifblim, my first Ghost type was probably Gastly (It has been so long).

Shadow Ball is my favorite Ghost move.

I love the Horror genre and Poltergeist is one of my favorite movies so Ghost type hit a sweet spot for me.

Since the leader of Team Galactic was swallowed up by Giratina in Platinum, why not have it so he comes back somehow as a ghost, and becomes a ghost trainer? Oh, and I guess he would somehow have befriended Giratina and it becomes his lead Pokemon. Oh yes. :P

string555 November 15th, 2017 1:30 PM

I didn't realize how old and dead this thread was. >:/

Considering how often I'm on here, is there some way I can just hijack it? :3
