I need some help with my Ghost Team. I know that single-type teams have problems with more competitive teams, but I want to try and make this team somewhat threatening. However, this team has been doing poorly as of recent.

Reflect

Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball

Screen support and Will O Wisping physical sweepers. Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball for STAB.

Hypnosis
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Thunderbolt

My frail Special Sweeper. Hypnosis and Focus Sash for keeping it in the game longer. Shadow Ball for STAB. Focus Sash for Steels and Rocks. Thunderbolt for incoming Water and Flying-types.

Banette, Choice Band, Adamant

Subsitute
Ice Beam
Shadow Ball

Pain Split
Fire Punch

Defense buff of the "team." Will O Wisp for physical sweepers. Fire Punch for Scizor and others. Sucker Punch to deal with frail Psychics/Ghosts. Pain Split for healing.

Ummm... just one suggestion... I'd think of adding Mismagius to your team... it's very dangerous if used right... I'll probably get back to rating this when I have enough time to make a real rate :/

I actually have a Mismagius as a back-up member for my team.

Hope the rate comes soon. :)

SubGar will give your team some problems. It will just spam Shadow Ball and 2HKO everyone on your team.

Replacing Banette with Spiritomb will help you against it. Unlike Banette, Spiritomb can directly switch in to Gengar and Pursuit it to death / set up a Substitute for Nasty Plot or Calm Mind / Sucker Punch.

541 Atk vs 156 Def & 262 HP (40 Base Power): 300 - 354 (114.50% - 135.11%)

Yeah no. Bannette OHKOs standard 252 spe / 252 sp atk / 4 hp timid gar with a CB shadow sneak. If he puts his own scarfgar in he can also revenge subgar as it really won't be able to get a sub up with all the ghost attacks on this team.

@ OP i'll do an actual rate later.

Spirtomb might help if confronted with type weaknesses since spirtonb has no type weakness

Hmm... I'll take all options into consideration, but I won't alter my team until I get a complete rate.

Drifloon wants stockpile, get rid of t-bolt since your whole team practically has it. You can Stockpile then sub and pass to gengar or dusknoir. Giving Defensive boosts are effective too.

I know WoW is there for support but your team seems very frail... other then Dusknoir

Gengar, Leftovers, Timid
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Substitute/Explosion
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Thunderbolt

My frail Special Sweeper. Hypnosis and Focus Sash for keeping it in the game longer. Shadow Ball for STAB. Focus Sash for Steels and Rocks. Thunderbolt for incoming Water and Flying-types.

Hypnosis' accuracy is shaky, and if it misses Gengar, is either going to be OHKOed or have a huge chunck of HP taken out of it.

Banette, Choice Band, Adamant
Frisk, 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Shadow Sneak
Return
Sucker Punch
Trick

Trick to cripple walls and special sweepers with Choice Band. Shadow Sneak to power through frail Ghosts and Psychics. Return to do decnt damage with Choice Band.

Seems fine

Froslass, Petaya Berry, Timid
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Subsitute
Ice Beam
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt

Sub until Petaya actvates and proceed to sweep. Ice Beam for Ground and Dragons. Shadow Ball for STAB and taking out Ghosts and Psychics. Thunderbolt for Water-types. Thinking of switching to Suicide Lead, though...

BoltBeam sets are fine.. they have great coverage too. You could try the Suicide Lead... since you don't seem to have a lead..

Dusknoir, Leftovers, Impish
252 HP / 28 Atk / 228 Def
Sucker Punch/Shadow Punch
Will O Wisp
Pain Split
Fire Punch

Defense buff of the "team." Will O Wisp for physical sweepers. Fire Punch for Scizor and others. Sucker Punch to deal with frail Psychics/Ghosts. Pain Split for healing.

Dusknoir is bulky enough to take a hit, so Sucker Punch isn't exactly needed... but it could work

Drifblim, Petaya Berry, Timid
Unburden, 12 HP / 80 Def / 216 SpA / 200 Spe
Substitute
Thunderbolt
Baton Pass
Hypnosis

Hypnosis to start setting up. Baton Pass is used to pass a Petaya boost and a Sub if possible. Thunderbolt to deal damage with said Sp. Attack boost.

Looks fine... but I haven't even used it before so I don't know :/
