Since it's the first day of October..

Do you have a favorite Ghost Pokemon? For me, it's Misdreavus. I like Gengar too

Favorite shiny Ghost Pokemon
  • Gen 1: Gastly/Mega Gengar. Mega Gengar is a Gen VI addition, but a Gen I Pokemon so it may or may not qualify
  • Gen 2: Misdreavus by default
  • Gen 3: Duskull. It has a better red color than Dusclops, which adding to the skull
  • Gen 4: Ultimately, Giratina. Its a curious main color swap, but add the rest and it really pops
  • Gen 5: Chandelure. Too obvious?
  • Gen 6: If Mega Gengar doesn't count Gen 1? If not, the albino Trevenant is my favorite shiny
  • Gen 7: Blacephalon, with its techno-spooky coloration

Actual favorite Ghost Pokemon
  • Gen 1-2: Gengar and Misdreavus by default, though Gengar still stands the test of time
  • Gen 3: Shedinja. It has a very unique concept behind it, even with Wonder Guard 1HP makes an interesting challenge
  • Gen 4: It has to go to Giratina. If we aren't including legendaries its Dusknoir, who I have good memories as part of my first real time and packing a wallop
  • Gen 5: This was difficult to decide, but I ultimately go with Golurk due to being a mecha that's a strong fighter. And I love that it can learn Fly
  • Gen 6: Aegislash. The ability to flip into an offense or defensive form is a godsend and it has the best Protect variant to date. Yeah, more than Spiky Shield
  • Gen 7: I can't in good faith include Lunala because I don't love Lunala the species, but Nebby the Solgaleo/Lunala. Rather, it has to go to Mimikyu, with Dhelmise just barely missing it. The ability, the concept, it's all so amazing

Dhelmise. Something about this little ghosty seaweed/anchor makes me love it. Acerola also has one as well, and she's a real cutie. :D

I knew I was forgetting a Pokémon! It is one of my favorites and I like the idea of an anchor that is being possessed by ghostly seaweed. It definitely is one of the more interesting and better inanimate object Pokémon.

I think Captain Jigglypuff said it best.

These would probably be my top 10 Ghost types:

  1. Dhelmise
  2. Mimikyu
  3. Chandelure
  4. Shuppet
  5. Duskull
  6. Spiritomb
  7. Decidueye
  8. Polteageist
  9. Giratina
  10. Alolan Marowak

As it so happens Ghost is my favorite type. Gen 7 probably introduced the majority of my favorite Ghost Pokémon, and is the generation where Ghost became my favorite typing because of that (prior to it I had no particular favorite type at all). Decidueye, Mimikyu and Blacephalon are one of my top favorites, if not my top 3. I also adore older Ghost types too of course, such as Shuppet and Gengar.

Go on, take a guess.


It's Misdreavus, who's my favorite Pokemon overall despite not being my favorite overall type (Ice)

It's not a game Kate.
Decidueye, the fact that it was considered for Smash before being replaced with a cereal mascot still saddens me.
