    Hey there, I'm making a ghost-type team and need some help with EVs and natures.

    My final team is going to be;:
    Gengar
    Rotom
    Banette
    Shedinja
    Chandelure
    Aegislash

    The Gengar cannot be changed as it's my shiny Gengar from Diamond and Pearl, but I would appreciate assistance with the others. I'd like to know what EVs to train in and the natures.

    Thanks,
    Red
     
    I have nothing to say about Gengar except for these sets:
    -Shadow Ball
    -Sludge Bomb
    -Focus Blast/Thunderbolt
    -Destiny Bond
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash

    or
    -Substitute
    -Shadow Ball
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Disable/Taunt/Sludge Bomb/Sludge Wave/Focus Blast
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 28 HP/148 SAtk/80 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Black Sludge

    Regular Rotom won't cut it anymore because it's not that strong and fast compared to other Electrics. All the Rotom appliances become the type of the move they learn upon possessing a machine; for example, Wash Rotom becomes Electric/Water thanks to it learning Hydro Pump.

    Banette gained a lot of usefulness thanks to its Mega Evolution:
    -Knock Off
    -Taunt
    -Protect/Will-o-Wisp
    -Destiny Bond
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 124 HP/252 Atk/132 Spe
    Item: Banettite
    Ability: Frisk

    Shedinja needs a ton of support to work effectively, given that it faints to super effective hits. It needs hazards off the field, which can KO it upon switching in. I'd say that Sableye is a reliable choice because of Prankster:
    -Taunt
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Recover
    -Foul Play/Knock Off
    Nature: Bold/Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Prankster

    Try out this stall breaking Chandelure:
    -Substitute
    -Shadow Ball
    -Fire Blast/Will-o-Wisp
    -Taunt
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 160 HP/156 SAtk/192 Spe
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Infiltrator/Flash Fire

    Aegislash is versatile and it can run a multitude of sets:
    -Shadow Ball
    -Shadow Sneak/Sacred Sword
    -Iron Head/Sacred Sword/Pursuit
    -King's Shield
    Nature: Quiet
    EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
    Item: Leftovers/Spooky Plate/Spell Tag/Air Balloon

    or
    -Substitute
    -Toxic
    -Shadow Ball
    -King's Shield
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 244 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk
    Item: Leftovers

    or
    -Shadow Ball
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Flash Cannon/Pursuit
    -Sacred Sword
    Nature: Hasty/Naive
    EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb

    or
    -Swords Dance
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Shadow Claw/Iron Head
    -Sacred Sword/Head Smash
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
     
    Awesome, thank you very much!
    OK, so say I use the Water/Electric Rotom, what would you suggest the EVs should be for it?
     
    That's a good point, what about Gourgeist? Any idea what I should train that for?

    Use the Small Gourgeist:
    -Substitute
    -Leech Seed
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Seed Bomb/Protect
    Nature: Jolly/Timid
    EVs: 252 HP/32 Def/224 Spe
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Frisk
     
    Fantastic! Thank you!
    One final one; Trevenant, what should I build him with?

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Trevenant was viable in early X/Y, but the prevalence of Knock Off, Bisharp and Aegislash, as well as its lower overall bulk than Gourgeist, made it lose viability. But if you insist:
    -Horn Leech/Wood Hammer
    -Earthquake/Rock Slide
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Rest
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/180 Def/76 Spe
    Item: Leftovers/Lum Berry
    Ability: Natural Cure/Harvest

    or
    -Horn Leech
    -Shadow Claw/Leech Seed
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Protect
    Nature: Careful
    EVs: 248 HP/16 Def/244 SDef
    Item: Sitrus Berry
    Ability: Harvest

    or
    -Substitute
    -Leech Seed
    -Will-o-Wisp
    -Phantom Force
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP/180 Def/76 Spe
    Item: Sitrus Berry
    Ability: Harvest
