Hello, I'm looking for a good Ghost type Pokemon to use in battle (probably against the Coliseum Trainers).
I would like to know:
- What Pokemon should it be
- What nature it should have
- At least one good move to go with it
- what sort of stats its expected to have
That should do...
And what does EV training mean? I had no idea that Pokemon Training now is so complicated.
Gengar (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
Hasty/Naive/Lonely/Naughty Nature
- Focus Punch
- Ice Punch
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
Gengar, if trained correctly, will have great speed and special attacking stats. For this set, you'll want to put in a lot of Attack EVs though, as even with Focus Punch's base 150 power, Gengar's low attack more than hinders that. Personally, i find no real use for this in-game, so here's a good alternative:
Gengar (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
Timid/Rash/Naive Nature
- Ice Punch
- Thunderbolt
- Giga Drain
- Hypnosis/Fire Punch/Will-O-Wisp/Destiny Bond/Explosion
Naive and Rash are only for if you choose Explosion, and still you'll have to put in quite a few Atk EVs for that.
Gengar basically outruns your opponent, and can disable then fairly well with moves like Hypnosis, then shows off its godly special attack to decimate your opponent. Focus Punch can be used as a threat to Special Walls such as Blissey or Snorlax, but as I said, that might not be too much of a worry in-game.
Dusclops (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Seismic Toss / Focus Punch
- Shadow Ball
- Pain Split / Rest
- Will-O-Wisp
If there's ANYTHING more annoying that a Pain Splitting dusclops that dsables you from doing too much damage with Shadow Ball, please let me know. Dusclops is basically and annoying wall with a few special touches on its stats that sets it apart from other walls. Seismic Toss if your prime choice in that first slot, as Focus Punch really only serves a purpose on Netbattle vs special walls and Dark types coming in on the switch.
Make sure this guy gets and many HP EVs as it can, splitting the rest in your defenses, and a few in your Attack stat.
Misdreavus (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Mean Look
- Perish Song
- Substitute / Taunt
- Protect
lol. If you get Misdreavus's Speed and HP stat to the max, then you instantly have one of the most frustrating pokemon in the game. basic Perish Trap with Taunt to stop phazers, or Substitute just to prolong the effects of Protect.
Misdreavus (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- Pain Split / Substitute
Has CM, and still isn't as good as Gengar at Special Sweeping I'm afraid. =/
Now, those are the ghost types I actually recommend in any consideration of using (although I'm not really an in-game Misdreavus fan), as Banette's poor speed and defensesdo not appeal to my tastes, and Sableye's sub-par all around stats can vouch that it won't do as much as you want it to.
And Shedinja just sucks =/. But Wonder Guard is tempting for any in-game trainer, so I'll go and list a moveset for you:
Shedinja @ Lum Berry/Rawst Berry/Pecha Berry
Trait: Wonder Guard
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Baton Pass/Protect/Confuse Ray/Toxic
- Swords Dance
- Silver Wind
- Shadow Ball
Basically SD then Sweep, or pass.
As for EV training, I've written a guide that can be found on the GB Strategies and Movesets forum, that should help you. To sum it up, EV training is basically creating an EV spread (we'll help you better understand that later), and defeating certain pokemon that give out specific EVs to satisfy that EV spread.
If you still want Advice on Banette and Sableye, let me know.
