Monotype Ghost Team

My Team at First Glance

Froslass - Lead
478.gif

@Focus Sash
Timid (+Spe -Atk)
4Hp / 252SpAtk / 252 Spe
Cursed Body
~Taunt
~Spikes
~Ice Beam
~Destiny Bond

Froslass is the best ghost type lead! With its access to Taunt and speed it can't stop Ferrothorn. Also I can set up a few Spikes depending on how the opponent reacts to Taunt, like if they switch. With the Focus Sash this allows me to lay a least one layer of Spikes then quickly use Destiny Bond to knock out the attack. This is awesome because many people will switch from their lead (who has Stealth Rocks, Spikes, Thunder Wave, etc) which has been taunted to one of their main attacker.

Although it can take down most opponents it cannot take a Crunch from Tyranitar. Crunch knocks it to its Sash then the sandstorm with kill it. But it can easily take out a Tyranitar that carries Pursuit instead of Crunch.

Gengar - The Disabler

@Leftovers
Timid (+Spe -Atk)
4Hp / 252SpAtk / 252Spe
Levitate
~Substitute
~Disable
~Shadow Ball
~Focus Blast

Gengar is a beautiful Pokemon. No matter how many times I use him people fall into his Disable trap. When battling against Tyranitar, Gengar, Scrafty, ect) I can use Substitute take the Super-Effective move then use Disable on it. This allows me to set up another Substitute and to hit any dark type with Focus Blast, or even Ferrothorn. Shadow Ball is a great stab against Espeon, Starmie, and other Gengar.

Dusknoir - SubPuncher

@Leftovers
Adamant (+Atk -SpAtk)
252Hp / 252Atk / 4Def
Pressure
~Substitute
~Focus Punch
~Ice Punch
~Shadow Sneak

Dusknoir is my main destroyer of dragon types. Salamance and Flygon will faint in one attack. With Multiscale Dragonite, I can set up Substitute while is Dragon Dances, hit with Shadow Sneak to get rid of Scale then OHKO with Ice Punch. It can cripple many pokemon with Shadow Sneak if its Super-Effective and Focus Punch can do a good chunk of damage to any Pokemon if not destroy it.

Mismagius - The Suicide
429.gif


@Choice Scarf
Timid (+Spe -Atk)
252SpAtk / 252Spe
IVs: 0Hp / 0Def / 0SpDef
Levitate
~Destiny Bond
~Thunder Wave
~Will o Wisp
~Shadow Ball

Although you haven't ever seen a Mismagius like this, most likely, it's definitely a member of my team that can give me the battle with one move. With Mismagius's speed and Choice Scarf, it can out speed just about everything. Although it does have status effects it can use, it's 99% just Destiny Bond use. Usually after Gengar or Dusknoir is taken out by one the opponents main sweeper I just send Mismagius out to kill it with Destiny Bond. Having 0 IVs in Hp, Def, and SpDef guarantees Mismagius to be knocked out with one attack.

Jellicent - Special Wall
593.gif


@Leftovers
Calm (+SpDef -Atk)
252Hp / 36Def/ 220 SpDef
Water Absorb
~Scald
~Ice Beam
~Toxic
~Recover

Jellicent is a pretty decent Pokemon, its a secondary Dragon killer next to Dusknoir. Water Absorb allows me to switch from Chandelure to Jellicent to get health, Toxic and Recover are good stall moves. Scald is a good STAB that can help against physical attackers and burn them if possible. It can take any special move very well.

Chandelure - Special Sweeper


@Life Orb
Modest (+SpAtk -Atk)
72Hp / 252SpAtk / 184Spe
Flash Fire
~Fire Blast
~Energy Ball
~Shadow Ball
~Hidden Power FIGHT

Chandelure is an awesome special sweep. I picked Life Orb over Choice Specs just so I can switch moves, to many times have I been put in a situation where I have to recall Chandelure because I am locked into Fire Blast against a water type. So Life Orb is helpful.

-I am considering changing its ability from Flash Fire to Shadow Tag, just so then I can put Choice Specs back on it and be able to hit correctly, is this a good idea?

I love its variety of attack, Energy Ball for water types, HiddenPower for Rock types and an excellent STAB Shadow Ball.


Please let me know if you believe there are better choice. But let me just say I will not get rid of Suicide Mismagius, it helps me almost every battle, whether its too get rid of a strong sweeper or an annoying stat booster. But please feedback would be so helpful.​
 
Hi, I love that someone can see the potential ghosts can have however i know you know that you have a big disadvantage to ghost and dark so I'll leave that alone. Anyway getting to your team i like that you use a froslass as a lead but its a bit unusual in ou tough . I love gengar its plain awesome and its pretty cool you made use of disable which seems to be neglected often. however if Dusknoir gets taunted you probably won't be able to land focus punch so i would suggest if you want a fighting move brick break as it doesn't have a turn to charge and a chance to flinch from opposing Pokémon. however i think thunder punch should be used just because the only Pokémon who has a effective move against a water type is chandelure and it part fire so thunder punch would be good here. Jellicent fine and chandelure is fine too but one thing that poses a threat to this team is a trick room set which basically messes up everything but that's the price to pay in a mono ghost team

I hoped i helped
