A Beautiful Blossom Waiting to Bloom
BOO
Hello! After lurking through these forums (No school today, bored ;-;) I found some forums that talked about specific typings of Pokemon. It was really interesting. As I kept reading them, I realized they stopped at a certain point. And there were still 5 types left! We started them, may as well finish them.
Ghost Type Pokemon are fascinating creatures with different niches they bring to the NU tier. Not all of the options are listed, but here are the gist of them:
Banette:
The Pokemon has 115 Atk FFS, but yet, it's seen as just an unlucky doll. Trick Room is the only thing going for him. It has very few decent stats, and his only niche is very specific. However, Banette can perform that niche well if used properly.
Drifblim:
Someone call the circus; this balloon is performing Acrobactics all over the place. With a very high HP stat, and decent offenses, it can pull its own weight. AcroBlimp is rising in fame for it. It's appealing defensive typing and stats may let it be shunned, but it's still very unique.
Shedinja:
Small picture? On purpose. To show you how little, but different Shedinja is. I haven't used Shedinja much, so you may need to help me out here ^^; Shedinja is sort of a double-edged sword, per say. It cant be beaten easily, but it CAN be beaten easily. If you have other sets/ideas for him, I would be glad to hear it :)
Golurk:
Unarguably one of the best offensive Ghost Type in the tier (argue about it anyways x3), Golurk makes its shining debut in NU. Other than its saddening speed, and weaknesses to common attacks, it has great defensive typing/immunities. Whether you Choice Band it, or have it SubPunch, Golurk will not disappoint. (I had no idea Golurk could learn Fly 0.o)
Haunter:
Following in Gengar's footsteps, Haunter is ready to harm anything in its path. Don't bother with Eviolite for him, he has pitiful defenses anyways, and will most likely faint for most strong attacks. Fast, and offensively strong, it will usually get the job done.
Lampent:
Who? Honestly, I didn't even know this Pokemon was in NU at first. Eviolite and High Sp.Atk is what Lampent has going on. He has many sets and moves to choose from, but is overlooked. Though, with proper support, Lampent does very well.
Misdreavus:
The queen of Eviolite for for Ghosts! Most likely the best SpinBlocker in the tier, her defenses plus Eviolite are sure to handle what needs to be done. A great wall, though, no access to a reliable healing source besides Pain Split really hurts it. Nonetheless, she is very useful to any team.
Frillish:

Frillish:
Ah, Frillish. He is so overlooked I forgot to put him in my thread XD (Thx, Shroom). He isn't the best SpinBlocker, but he/she can tackle on some things. Eviolite helps its defense, but it won't be nearly as good as Jellicent. Poor little Jellyfish.. Speaking of Jellyfish, I'm having that for lunch today... P:<
Well, that's it for me. Is there any idea for one of these ghost types that I have missed? Or sets that has been successful for you that you's like to share? Any theorymoning you want to discuss with them? Or how some should be more/lessed used than they should? Talk below.
