Strategy Overview

Spectrier is almost completely outclassed by Calyrex-S. The one advantage Spectrier has is its pure Ghost-typing, which allows it to be an effective lure for Yveltal lacking Knock Off, Taunt, or Snarl. Between its typing, low Attack, and Will-O-Wisp, Spectrier's Substitute will not be broken by Yveltal's burned Foul Play or U-turn, thus making Yveltal complete setup fodder. This means Spectrier is very matchup-dependent, as common Pokemon such as Knock Off Yveltal, Ho-Oh, or Blissey spell doom for Spectrier. It is also reliant on Will-O-Wisp to power up Hex, and its low bulk means it is easily revenge killed without Substitute up.
