Best Ghost and Psychic Pokemon

The Top Ten
1 Gengar Gengar, known in Japan by the same name, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

He is very awesome looking, and kind of scary too, just as any ghost should be, and they have an excellent moveset. I find Gengar very useful for catching other Pokemon too because they can learn Mean Look. Because Gengar is a ghost type, most normal and fighting moves won't affect it and another added bonus is since Gengar is also part poison type it can learn poison moves. I love inflicting status problems on opponents.

Gengar is the best ghost type in my opinion well he/she is one of the fastest Pokemon in the world. His/Her speed is like 314 in the Pokemon red version, white version Pokemon Y and X version, and a lot more! But he/she is the best ghost type because already like I said he/she is one of the fastest Pokemon in the world, he/she can warp you into the abis of the universe, and if you have Pokemon X or Y in super training he/she can do so much damage to one of the balloons, and he/she deals so much damage! That is why Gangar in my opinion is the strongest ghost types in the world.

Gengar definitely is the most brilliant ghost type pokemon to ever exist in the series. It has an awesome moveset. I had a Gengar with a 63 level and I made him learn Destiny Bond, Dream Eater, Hypnosis and Shadow Punch. He was completely unstoppable.

Gengar is the very best that no one ever was. Gengar is So Awesome that they had to add an extra type (poison) to the species because he would just completely own all other Pokemon in the original games.

2 Mewtwo Mewtwo is a psychic-type Legendary Pokémon from Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. Designed by Ken Sugimori, it made its first appearance in the games Pokémon Red and Blue. It was created by Dr. Fuji using gene splicing in an attempt to clone Mew. In the Pokémon games, it's infamously known as the most powerful Pokémon among all species. Mewtwo is capable of evolving into two forms - Mega Mewtwo X (using Mewtonite X) and Mega Mewtwo Y (using Mewtonite Y)

Even though Mewtwo is a clone and scientifically created, he is still one of the best pokemon. I mean, Mewtwo was in one of the few movies that doesn't have random legendaries fighting because "someone invaded their territory" or trash like that. He is one of the original pokemon, which are the best. And Mewtwo has to deal with being created by an experiment. If I had to deal with that, I'd probably go crazy. Well Mewtwo did, technically, go crazy, but he managed to regain his sanity. Plus, MEWTWO IS AWESOME!

Only the coolest, most powerful Pokemon ever until the series decided to screw things up and throw in a bunch of gods and uber legendaries. He was smart enough to create a bunch of Pokemon using old damaged equipment he rebuilt, and he could generate a massive storm by moving his hand! He could turn back time ^^/or erase all his work, wipe everyone's memories, and not only transport everyone else away, he flies all of his Pokemon away too! The only reason he is not the king of all Pokemon (figuratively) is because of Arceus and the fact that they downgraded Mewtwo in the second movie with him.

Mewtwo is probably the most powerful pokemon IN GAME, as its mega evolutions along with mega rayquaza have the highest total stats. Even if Mewtwo is probably the most powerful its design is kind of boring which kind of explains why he is on number 2, I mean Gengar has an awesome design but mewtwo's one is just... boring which as I said is why he is not in front of Gengar

Mewtwo has the capability of having the 2nd most powerful special attack in the pokemon universe. (Next to Deoxys) Now who would choose Gengar over Mewtwo? He now has a great signiture move, psystrike, and has a second form. This pokemon has almost DOUBLE the stats as Gengar.

3 Alakazam Alakazam is a Psychic-type Pokemon that was first introduced in Game Freak's Pokemon Red & Green (Blue for outside of Japan) version. Alakazam is the final evolution of the Abra line. It evolves from Kadabra when traded. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it evolves from Kadabra when given a Linking Cord. It is said to have an IQ of 5000 and is a human-like Pokemon. It has high special attack and speed, and is good for Alakazam with its poor defense & mediocre special defense. ...read more.

Why does everyone choose legendaries? Those things are just cheap and are for people who don't know how to build and raise a good party. I would choose Alakazam over any legendary. Put the enemy to sleep, repeatedly use calm mind and, then attack with psychic or dream eater. Unstoppable move combo right there. If your up against a dark type, just use focus blast. Not to mention the unbeatable speed.

Alakazam is an overpowered Pokemon, especially in games like emerald when there aren't as many other psychic Pokemon to choose from. Also, its not a legendary, so it isn't cheap or lame. Only downside is you have to trade to get it, and sometime trolls will trade and give you a kadabra with everstone and your screwed. I love alakazam though for my emerald :D

I have all of these Pokemon on soulsilver, the ones in the top five. And by far the best one overall is Alakazam. His battle moves are fluid, and the high speed paired with his high Sp. At. Pretty much guarantee me a win in every battle.

Poh everybody knows Alakazam is boss! His special attack attribute is just unbelievable right from the get go! You use a combination of calm mind and psychic... your as good as gone in one shot

4 Mew Mew is a Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon created by Nintendo's and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. Designed by Satoshi Tajiri, it was introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue. Mew is capable of learning every move in the games (except signature moves of certain Pokémon), and can shapeshift into other Pokémon species.

Well, mew beat mewtwo in the movies, without going all out because he doesn't like violence and tries to avoid fighting. He can learn any move, transform into any Pokémon, and wreck anyone. Yes, that includes gengar. Mew can turn invisible on will, and create an unbreakable field around himself and fly. Gengar is weak to Mews psychic moves and type, or he can just turn into gengar then use a dark type move to smash him in a couple hits, possibly one if he knows the right dark type move. The only reason Gengar is on top is because he's been the meta for competitive this year, even though Mew would smash him completely.

Gengar is indeed weak to psychic. Psychic attacks to normal damage to ghost types, and Gengar is ghost and poison. In case you didn't know, poison is weak to psychic. While ghost is super effective against psychic, psychic is normally effective against ghost. If you still don't believe me, use a Gengar against Sabrina, Will, Tate and Liza, Lucian, Caitlin, or Olympia, and you'll find that the fights will be very inconvenient and difficult.

First off, Mew was the original Pokemon God. Arceus was merely added to keep the story going. Also, Gengar is weak to Psychic attacks given the fact he is part poison and Ghost aren't resistant to psychic moves in any way, it's just that Ghost moves are strong against Psychic types. Mew also can Learn just about any move there is, Mew is the #1 choice on this list.

Come on, I always knew that Mew is more powerful than Mewtwo and adorable. I fell in love with Mew when I watched the movie. Mew is AWESOME. Powerful and cute. And it's playful and sweet. It has one the most adorable laughs ever and how is stupid metagross before MEW!? I loved how it came in floating in a bubble in Mewtwo's mansion or whatever it was.

5 Espeon Espeon, known in Japan as Eifie, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Espeon is definitely my favourite pokemon. It's so cute but also so powerful if it has the right move combo. I have an Espeon and it can faint a dark type in one hit using Dazzling Gleam, or a ghost type using Shadow Ball, and once it even brought a steel type to below a third of its health using Psychic, which is not very effective. It can also heal itself using Morning Sun. It also has a base stat of 525, which is the third highest of all Psychic type non-legendaries (but I still think Espeon is the best, since base stats aren't everything). Basically, Espeon is AWESOME and deserves to be higher on this list.

BEST Pokemon EVER! I have a level 60 and it is incredible. we have fought many battles together and she has never let me down. she took out the psychic, fighting and ghost types (using shadow ball) elites in black two with ease. Also, I have only lost to my friend once with espeon on my team (he uses a level 62 gengar and a level 57 zoroark).

6 Metagross Metagross, known in Japan as Metagross, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Being a Steel-type, Metagross is weak to very few types. It's a pseudo-legendary, too, making it quite a powerful battler is used properly. And speaking of types, Metagross handles itself well with Magnet Rise, making it immune to Ground-type attacks, and Earthquake, which is useful against Fire-types and Ground/Rock Pokemon. Out of all the pseudo-legendaries, Metagross is the most versatile in my eyes.

Meta gross every time, beast! Has one of the highest attack stats of all non legendary pokemon. Highest of all steel and psychic. Amazing typing, many resistances and few weaknesses. Why isn't this no. 1?

Shew, hard to decide, love gallade and lugia but Metagross is king, he IS the only non-dragon pseudo legendary, sure gengar is tough but he looks like a demented marshmallow...

Metagross is a really epiclly awesome Pokemon, because of its movesets and it's stats. Metagross's attack is really high, has decent defense and good speed. A pro moveset for this rocker is Meteor Mash, Zen Headbutt, Hammer Arm and Agility.

7 Lugia Lugia, known in Japan as ルギア (Rugia), is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. First introduced in Generation II, it's the mascot of the game Pokémon Silver. It serves as the master of the legendary birds trio, and is part of the tower tuo along with Ho-Oh.

Lugia can destroy Gengar and Mewtwo.

It sleeps in a deep-sea trench. If it flaps its wings, it is said to cause a 40-day storm. (Diamond)

You could argue that Ho-Oh can defeat Lugia, but the thing is, they would not fight. Lugia leads the Legendary Bird Trio while Ho-Oh leads the Legendary beasts. The two unimaginably powerful pokemon form the Tower Duo and defeat Mewtwo together.

She can take down Espeon w/ ease; one straight Calm Mind and Aeroblast combo and Espeon will faint.

My favorite pokemon of all time
At firt, I thought it was a water pokemon, because of all the water moves it learns form tm, but still, best pokemon ever in my opinion

Lugia.. Powerful yet caring pokemon.

8 Gallade Gallade, known in Japan as Erureido, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Gallade Because it is one of those Pokemon that can pack a punch with 125 base attack and has solid special defense, at around 110-115? It can run a great variety of sets from choice banded to bulk up. It's one of the most underrated Pokemon.

Gallade is my fave poke, I always run him in-game if I can and I get really disappointed when I can't, I t=run leaf blade, night slash, close combat and psycho cut with choice band, its awesome coverage!

Gallade is a really good battler because it has psychic and fighting so psychic isn't so effective and it has beast speed attack and special attack all rock so much it's should be in the top 3!

I would rather evolve kirlia into gallade than into gardavoir. Gallade is faster, and has more attack. You should teach him psycho cut, shadow ball, psychic, and telekinesis.

9 Haunter Haunter, known in Japan as Ghost, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Haunter is also my favorite Pokemon of all time. He may not be the strongest but he's still my favorite since Pokemon blue till today.

Haunter is very creepy and awesome looking!
Haunter is my favourite ghost pokemon.

Haunter's the best! Loved him in Pokemon Indigo League!

Haunter is amazingly cute and strong and also if you teach it shadow force,
Shadow ball, smog, and night shade it is bomb.com! !

10 Dusknoir Dusknoir, known in Japan as Yonoir, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Good defense and pretty good attack. Could have very good potential if you are good. He is AWESOME. Not to mention his awesome loks and name. I bet mine could beat ALL of your choices. If you are smart then choose Dusknoir.

Aside from pretty good moves, stats, and awesome design, might I add how awesome a character he is in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky? For this reason, Dusknoir deserves a spot on this list, and a high one at that.

Dusknoir is easily my favorite ghost type pokemon. Even though I have never caught one, it's design is totally the bomb, and so is it's pokedex entry.

My favorite ghost type pokemon!

The Contenders
11 Mr. Mime Mr. Mime, known in Japan as Barrierd, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

He is a amazing defending psychic type! Is beast. To me, he is my favorite psychic/fairy type!

He always makes me smile. So funny and rare. I love him! Whenever I play pokepark he is real nice and funny

Haha.. I know he's the best after I fought him for the first time...

He is awesome! I love his move set!

12 Drifloon

Totes he's so amazing

13 Hypno Hypno, known in Japan as Sleeper, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Come on guys, this is Hypno we're talking about - he's well-educated, and will trump all these fools in a poké-spelling bee any day! Plus, he's not only a psychic genius, but he's practically part-conman with his hypnotic coin-on-string trick. With it he could trick even the most battle wise trainer into forfeiting!

Everybody's gotta love creepy yellow pervert who kidnaps kiddies...

14 Venomoth
15 Jynx Jynx, known in Japan as Rougela, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. She is known as one of the more humanoid pokemon.

Jynx is overall my favorite Pokemon, so majestic and awesome and Fierce!

16 Dusclops

Dusclops is the best. He even evolves cool.

17 Gardevoir Gardevoir is a third-generation Pokémon species originally introduced as a Psychic type creature in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Gardevior is the best non-lengendary Pokemon, I use in every generation just by trading, she has always been the spotlight in my team and I absolutely think she is one of Pokemons most strongest Pokemon with her moves : psychic, thunder bolt, shadow ball, and dazzling gleam, honestly I do think she deserves a higher rank then 16, she most definitely deserves a place is the top 3 non-legendary Pokemon, she is awesome and I love her.

I think gardevoir is an beautiful and amazing Pokemon with her attacks and my favorite attack from her is phybeam and she. Reminds me of gothitelle who I also love

This pokemon is greatly powerful. It's abilities are: Shadow Ball, Luster Purge, Psychic and Psybeam. Which makes this pokemon very powerful

Gardevoir has HIGH special attack and special defense is awesomely versatile! I used her in emerald and platinum and she stole the spotlight! Best non legendary psychic type Pokemon :-)

18 Golduck
19 Mismagius

Mismagius is quite fast and has a decent movepool that can totally sweep with Calm Mind or Nasty Plot. She's got decent Special Attack and Special defense as well.

This Pokemon have a great Speed and good Sp. Attack. I like the moveset.

The for the info

20 Darkrai Darkrai, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

I think you should vote for DARKRAI.
It's the best dark type pokemon.
In sinnoh league it won the finals itself. It can defeat any pokemon in a single move. It looks dangerous and its attacks are of great damage.

A VERy good and perfect Pokemon yet, it can take any Pokemon when trained perfectly, can even beat legendary Pokemons!

Hey come on gys can't you figure out which is the best pokemon? it's the darkest legendry pokemon darkrai

It is the best Pokemon I think darkrai is the minister of all Pokemon

21 Giratina Giratina is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Giratina first appeared in the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but gained prominence in the sister game, Pokémon Platinum, which it was made the mascot of.

It's Quick, never misses has the best ghost move: Shadow Force In fact it was so Good that they made a game about it: Pokemon Platinum It looks amazing and learns the best moves (Draco Meteor, Hyper Beam, Earth Power)
And the combination of ghost and dragon makes it Immortal it's HP can go to astounding lengths, How is Chandelure, Mr Mine, Gengar... Above him?

Come on! Nobody Else thinks that a combination between a dragon and a ghost is really cool? If anyone here has actually played a giratina you would realize that a blend between dragon and ghost goes together very smoothly.

It's a literal giant demon like Pokemon that has its own dimension. Enough said.

Not only is Giratina Legendary but he can travel through dimensions as well. Giratina is the only known Pokémon that learns Shadow Force via level up. Plus this:
Giratina has the highest base stat total of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
Giratina has the highest HP base stat of all legendary Pokémon.
Giratina has the highest HP base stat of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
Need I say more?

22 Kadabra

Let's face it.. All the Pokemon you guys have listed are great... But Kadabra is just as good as Alakazam in my opinion. This is because in the games you have to trade kadabra just so he will evolve and the only thing that changes is his attack speed. He gets over powered attacks at lv 20 like confusion. And if he gets poisoned, burnt, confused, or put to sleep his synchronize makes the enemy Pokemon affected as well. And that's why I think Kadabra is one of the top 10 best Pokemon!

23 Deoxys Deoxys, known in Japan as the same name, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Deoxys is one of the most versatile Pokemon there is. If you're into competitive battling, you can switch strategies by switching Deoxys' forme. Deoxys is the Pokemon with the highest attack/sp. Atk. When in Attack Forme, and has the highest base speed in Speed Forme. It's no slouch in defense/sp. Definitely. Either, having the highest base definitely stats of all psychic types. Depending on the trainer, Deoxys could easily be a tank or a sweeper.

Deoxys is a god forsaken normal type. Why in hell is it on this list?

24 Metang

This is steel

25 Chandelure

It doesn't just hit you with flamethrower, it burns your soul with it. It has a very high special attack, more than any starter or other normal pokemon. Plus, they look absolutely adorable.

It is a chandelier, for crying out loud! Super cute and really good attacks, if you evolve it at the right time.

It's got an amazing, unique type combination, and it has a really cool design. Chandelure sports a pretty awesome movepool as well.

Even it's design is so badass, which pokémon has blue and purple fires coming out of it (except Mega Charizard X :p). I think it should be higher then this.
