It is worth noting that being a Ghost type does not prevent the flinch; it prevents taking damage in the first place. This is relevant if you're fighting a Pokemon with Fake Out and Scrappy, Mind's Eye, Foresight, or Odor Sleuth.
i've never thought that YOU, top 3 people on pokemon database would comment on my question wow, thank you so much!
Substitute and shed tail prevent flinching. Other ways to completely prevent fake out from hitting include protect and double team. Some abilities prevent fake out under super situational situations, like volt absorb when fake out is used with galvanize, soundproof when fake out is used with liquid voice, and telepathy when fake out is used on an ally. Moving before the fake out also prevents flinching. Several moves have higher priority, like helping hand, and technically you don't flinch when you switch in.

Also Amethyst became number 1 by answering and commenting on thousands of questions. Of course he/she/they/it would comment on your question. This site rewards activity and contributions, not being mysterious or whatever.
It's too situational to be a reliable strategy but you could technically use Fake Out first by being faster.
Dazzling works. It's the same as QM/ AT
