Who is the Better Ghost?

Which ghost is better Banette or Dusclops?

Move Puppet inc.
Dusclops is better balanced by far

Generally Dusclops has better defenses, where as Banette has better stats for attaking and speed. Not as strong or fast as Gengar. Dusclops levitate ability is more widley usefull, than Banettes' Insomnia, but Insomnia can also be good in some situations...
I tend to lean towards Banette, but perhaps that is only because i have one in my team...
I prefer my evil doll...good banette...

Dusclops actually has pressure, duskull has levitate.

Come along, dear
Dusclops defends, but he's on the slow side and HP is sucky, Banette though is quick, gets some OK attacks, and can attack. As much as I want to say Banette, I'd still have to go with Dusclops being the better, and now that he has an evo.... still only +5 base HP.

What? No levitate? Sorry must have been thinking of Duskull, its just the 'pressure' of things....what no laughs?.......

I particually prefer Banette, simply because Dusclops looks a bit big and heavy to be a ghost. o_O

dusclops by a long shot
 
banette, imo
what's the point in defending if you can barely attack?


HOWEVER!
Banette is likely to become almost useless in the 4th generation. It has high attack, which is good for its ghost type.
but come DP, it will make shadow ball special, which Banette has little of.

In future generations, I'll be using Gengar or the evo of Misdreavous

this should be a poll.

dusclops is a good tank, bannete is a bad sweeper. getting only 1 decent attacking move hurts bad, and clops gets pain split and WoW.
 
Dusclops is useful as a tank and with Toxic, but Banette gets stuff like Shadow Ball and has the attack to use it
