Many new and old Ghost-type Pokémon, such as Flutter Mane and Gholdengo, wander around in the Paldea region of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The day-and-night mechanic rotates at a reasonable enough rate to guarantee that most players should get the opportunity to go hunting for some every session. Ghost-types can contribute a variety of skills to a squad and work well with other types as well. Players can catch many new Ghost-type Pokémon to fill the gap that they lack in their team, whether seeking a full-on attacker or a status inflicter. In addition, numerous Ghost Pokémon are roaming around Paldea's haunted locations during the day.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduces several intriguing new characters and features several traditional and modern favorites. Players will undoubtedly encounter these distinctive spooks while exploring unknown ruins or prowling through Paldea at night. It could be challenging to choose which of the many ghostly possibilities available to the player stands out the most. To decide which ghostly critters are actually the best of the bunch in Scarlet and Violet, stats, strategies, and a sprinkling of nice locks will be given top priority.

Flutter Mane

While Flutter Mane is only available to those who purchased Pokémon Scarlet, Misdreavus is only available to those who purchased Pokémon Violet. Like Mimikyu, Flutter Mane is a Fairy-/Ghost-Type, compensating for Ghost-Types' inherent vulnerability to Dark-Type attacks. Its Speed and Special stats start at a base level of 135, while the others have a more acceptable starting of 55. This eerie creature comes in a small package similar to Snom in Scarlet and Violet, and it has the Protosynthesis ability to raise its Special Attack.

Skeledirge

Within Fuecoco's evolutionary line, Skeledirge is the final evolutionary form that becomes a Fire-/Ghost-type as it evolves at level 36. Skeledirge has its own unique signature attack, Torch Song, making it an excellent all-around Pokémon. With a basic health stat of 104 and a base special attack stat of 110, Skeledirge also has excellent HP and Special Attack.

By utilizing the Malicious Armor, this Pokémon can evolve from Charcadet in the Pokémon Violet edition. Skeledirge and Ceruledge are both Fire-/Ghost-type Pokémon. However, Ceruledge has significantly better stats. Ceruledge is all about offense while having high Special Defense stats, as opposed to being more balanced with a tendency toward just defense. Bitter Blade, a move that takes HP, is the signature move of Ceruledge in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The Pokémon's base attack stat of 125 is also excellent.

Gholdengo

Gholdengo is a Ghost-/Steel-type Pokémon with just four weaknesses and nine resistances. In addition, Gholdengo possesses a unique ability known as Gold that protects the Pokémon from all status attacks. Gholdengo has impressive stats as well, with a base total of 550. This Pokémon is among the best common Pokémon in the franchise because it is neither a paradox nor a legendary Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet.
