It's Halloween Again, Let's Rank The Best Ghost-Type Pokemon - Kotaku

"Over the years, ghost Pokemon have exploded in number, starting from just the Gastly line, which was their sole representative in the original games, to now dozens of critters haunting the Pokemon world. Ghost-type Pokemon Pokedex entries include some of the most terrifying lore dumps in this typically all-ages series, and that's what makes them some of the most interesting."

"The end of October is here, which means the spooky decorations are about to make way for snow, presents, and mistletoe. But before we say goodbye to the jack-o-lanterns and trick-or-treating, we can still pay tribute to the spookiest, the scariest, the ghouliest(?) of Pokemon: the ghost types. But while we'd love to give every ghost-type friend their due, today we've narrowed it down to the 10 creepiest, spookiest, and most memorable lines in the first nine generations of Pokemon."

Ghost-type Pokémon began with the Gastly line and expanded into dozens of creatures across nine generations. Many Pokédex entries provide dark, terrifying lore that contrasts with the series' all-ages tone. A selection identifies ten particularly creepy and memorable ghost Pokémon lines based on lore and design. The choice was challenging because of the abundance of remarkable ghost designs and stories. Honorable mentions appear before the final ranked list. The focus highlights eerie lore, unsettling design elements, and memorable thematic resonance among ghost-type Pokémon.
