The Ghost Monotype in Pokémon Sun








FINAL PART
Tripleposting because I can :)
I finished this run few weeks ago, but wanted to post the main post first. With that gone I can finally post this.
The hardest thing about this run was actually deciding which type to use. I couldn't decide between Rock, Electric and Ghost and after consulting it with people on Discord, I couldn't decide between Rock, Electric, Flying, Fairy, Grass and Ghost. I let the fate decide and end up with Ghosts. And it was pretty fun run.
I started with Rowlet and quickly got Gastly and Misdreavus. Taking on both Ilma and Hala was fine with these three. Then I went to get some items from Ten Carat Hill and to my surprise found Sableye there. Really a great additional to my team.
After that it was pretty standard run. I caught more Pokémon like Litwick and Sandygast and beat 2nd Island. When I got to the Acerola's Trial I decided to swap Misdreavus for Mimikyu, since Ghost/Fairy is so much better than pure Ghost. And once again, to my surprise Mimikyu stayed in front of my party for the rest of the game. Its ability is just so good.
During this time I also noticed that I don't use Palossand as much as I though I would. Ground-type isn't really needed type in Alola apparently. So right before the Elite Four I swapped it for Snorunt.
Another thing I noticed around Hapu's Trial was that my team was suspiciously underleveled. I'm not sure if I accidentally skipped some area or trainers, but my Pokémon were around 4-5 levels lower than Hapu and other major battles.
But overall, as I said, this was pretty fun run that got harder because I got underleveled and Elite Four had counters against Ghosts. Mimikyu and Sableye were definitely MVPs of this run. Sableye was able to counter Dark-type attacks and Mimikyu is just awesome.

I'll also re-roll some Challenges on my Bingo, since they are in one of the following category: I tried them and couldn't bring myself to finishing them or I tried to avoid it as much as I could because I don't find the idea behind the challenge entertaining at all and I don't see myself ever playing them. I hope you understand it.
