October is almost over and I am finally doing a Halloween-themed post. I know, it's late and before you ask, I am aware of the 'rainbow rocket' news but I didn't feel it was enough for a post. There will be a new trailer on the 2nd which I will discuss on the next post. Okay, let's get into it! Here is my list of the top ten Ghost type Pokémon. Please remember that this is all my opinion and if you don't agree - that's fine.
10. Mimikyu
I could not make a list without putting Mimikyu on it. From its need to be loved to its creepy Pikachu appearance, this Pokémon deserves a spot on this list.
9. Rotom
What's better than 1 Pokémon? How about 5? Rotom can take on 5 different forms depending upon which electronic device it interacts with. From an oven to a lawn mower, this Pokémon gives you lots of options. Strangely enough, when it takes one of these forms, it loses its Ghost typing. Isn't the interesting?
8. Froslass
From its haunting cry to its delicate form, this Pokémon definitely leaves a chilling impression. It's been one of my favorites since Gen 4 and I eagerly look forward to finding a female Snorunt so I can evolve it into this beautiful Pokémon. Now if only Dawn Stones were easier to find...
7. Chandelure
Ah, Gen 5, one of my favorites generations. Why? It brought us some interesting new Pokémon designs like this gothic chandelier. I adore this entire Pokémon evolution line and will happily use it whenever I get the chance.
6. Spiritomb
Who could forget the Ghost type used by Sinnoh's champion, Cynthia?? Spiritomb may have an odd way to be encountered but that doesn't make it any less powerful. Being both Dark and Ghost, it only has one weakness - Fairy type moves! Now if that isn't powerful, I don't know what is.
5. Pumpkaboo
This time of year always makes me think of Pumpkaboo with their pumpkin and bat inspired design. They are so cute and come in a range of sizes (just like real pumpkins). I particularly like that it gets a move called Trick-or-Treat. Combine that move with Ghostium or Lunalium Z and it gains an added effect of raising all stats. Not bad!
4. Gengar
I cannot have this list without the original Ghost/Poison type Pokémon of Gen 1 : Gengar. From his big smile to his dance, you know this Pokémon loves what he does. He's even happier in his Mega evolution form which is one of the few Megas that I like to use. My only issues are that he lost his Levitate ability and you have to trade it in order to evolve it. Either way, it's still a very powerful and fun Pokémon to use.
3. Trevenant
This is without a doubt one of my favorite designs for Ghost type Pokémon. Trevenant perfectly personifies a haunted tree. From its gnarled roots to its one red eye, it is both creepy and awesome at the same time. Again, this is a Pokémon with trade evolution but it is still pretty awesome.
2. Drifloon
This Pokémon is my favorite of the Gen 4 Ghost types. I used one while playing Diamond once and I fell in love with it. It's so cute plus is surprisingly powerful with its duel typing. I can see why Fantina uses and dresses like a Drifblim. It's amazing.
1. Decidueye
Okay, I admit it. Rowlet is my favorite starter from Sun and Moon. Also, the entire line is one of the only 2 starter evolution lines in which I love every stage (the other being the Torchic line). Usually I only love the first and last stages - or just the first two stages in some cases. Anyway, the point is that I love Decidueye. I originally didn't think much of Decidueye until its typing was revealed. I was thrilled to see a starter that became a Ghost type. It made the design that much better. I loved using Decidueye in Moon and will probably use it in Ultra Sun or Moon as well. I can't help it - it's my favorite.
Well, that's it for this week. I'm sorry it took so long for this post but I've been busy this weekend. Follow me if you enjoyed this post and don't want to miss out on further posts.
