Haunter
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Haunter is a ghost/poison-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 405 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 95) and a special attacking profile. Its Levitate ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Haunter. Build around what Haunter actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
