hey Chris, perhaps you could run Sassy nature and have Pursuit instead of Shadow Ball? It's an idea, I mean, Gengar will probably run away from you after using Hypnosis, so having a chance of killing it off outright is better than doing nothing to it.
with 0 EVs Pursuit does 50.57% average if it stays in, and 100.77% average if it switches out.

@ Chris:Chris, possibly include Pursuit in the Set comments as Skiddle suggested but i'm iffy on it.
Anyway, Let's get this EV issue out of the way since this should be on site anyway. Not that it means it was the best spread but does anyone happen to know what Obi used just for reference?
I currently like the EV spread, but is less Special Defense a decent sacrifice to make? I don't see the need for it. We have Will-O-Wisp which patches this up anyway. What I would want to see is that Spiritomb has enough physical defense to come in on a Lucario using Sword Dance, take the Crunch or whatever, Burn it, and then still find time to Rest away the damage before being OHKO'd. Chris, if you would be so kind to tell me if this is currently true :). Otherwise, I think the current spread is fine. Especially since no one has raised any significantly better alternatives.
