Strategy Overview

Ghost

Spectrier is a dangerous special attacker that can quickly snowball teams thanks to its higher Speed than Pokemon like Garchomp and Keldeo, its access to Calm Mind to set up on and become resilient to the likes of Tapu Fini and Zapdos, a great ability in Grim Neigh, and its Ghost-type attacks hitting most Pokemon for neutral or super effective damage. Spectrier can also take advantage of Water and Ground teams, which lack good switch-ins to Will-O-Wisp + Hex. It can use passive Pokemon like Toxapex, Slowking, and Slowbro to set up with Substitute + Calm Mind, and it has good utility in Will-O-Wisp, which can force out physical attackers such as Garchomp and walls like Celesteela. However, Spectrier has very limited coverage, which makes it unable to take on Dark- and Normal-types such as Tyranitar and Porygon2. It also can get revenge killed by Choice Scarf users such as Landorus-T and Excadrill along with fast Pokemon such as Regieleki and Dragapult.
