Mono-Ghost (Version 2): Welcome To The Haunted House

Question

>Here we have my new Mono-Ghost team! I have made a new one due to the fact that the old one had Pokemon from much lower tiers. Lets go!

[EDIT] I have included JarJar's advice.

COME AND MEET MY FRIENDS...

Not bad. I can't see many problems with this team, Except that they all have the same type, but that's the point... Maybe Dusknoir rather than dusclops.

---

Dusclops with eviolite is far more bulkier

---

One thing: Dark types wreck you. And when I say wreck you, I mean it. No dark neutralities (i.e. Sableye and Spiritomb) in coherence with a lack fo fighting overage means that dark types will rip through your team. I'd advise HP fighting over water on chandelure, as energy ball will be more effective on ground/rock types, and shadow ball will do almost as much damage on fire types. Drain Punch over Fire Punch/Shadow Punch on Golurk is also an option, as is focus blast on Gengar.

---

Focus Blast has terrible accuracy though

---

LOL, dat tag.

Answer 1

Frosslass

252 SAtk > 252 Def, as you have the Sash. This one is more optional, but Taunt > HP Fire might work nicely, as instead of killing leads, you can force them out and get more Spikes up. Other than that, it looks fine.

---

Gengar

I can see what you are going for, but there are a couple ways to improve it.
1. Add Substitute, Gengar doesn't have enough bulk to use Pain Split without it.
2. Use Life Orb so you can recover more HP with Pain Split and hit harder.
Set:
*Gengar @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature*

• Substitute
• Pain Split
• Shadow Ball
• Sludge Bomb / Focus Blast

---

Golurk

Leftovers > Expert Belt to stay around longer, as Golurk is a bulky attacker. 252 HP > 252 Def as Golurk makes a fantastic mixed tank.

---

Chandelure

Look fine.

---

Dusclops

I recommend replacing this for Sableye. Not only is it neutral to dark, which wrecks this team, but it has a very similar movepool, with Night Shade, Will-O-Wisp, and Taunt, all of which are gotten off faster, courtesy of Prankster.
Set:
*Sableye @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature*

• Will-O-Wisp
• Recover
• Taunt
• Night Shade

---

Jellicent

Looks fine.

Hope this helps and good luck! ;)
