Haunter excelled as a Lead pick on many teams. Shadow Ball was not needed to take down Medicham since, by the time you had used Shadow Claw enough to have the energy to use a Shadow Punch, it would be more than enough damage to take down Medicham. One of its main jobs was to be an exceptional counter to Medicham which at the time was a highly picked Pokémon that outperformed many in this tournament. Haunter was an insanely strong pick in the Season 1 Regionals. Haunter has been a sneaky pick in the meta that is known for its unexpected damage and one hit KO potential. The main issue about Haunter is that more often or not you will sometimes only get the chance to use one Charge Move-in battle as Haunter can not last very long in battle with its low defense It’s hard-hitting damage can also be a great alternative to natural Pokémon that will stand in your way.
With Sludge Bomb, you have an answer to some of the strongest meta Pokémon such as Venusaur, Azumarill, and Tropius to name a few. Sludge Bomb is a devastating move, not only does it get a STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) effect, it also has an unpredictability aspect to it. without shielding, a Shadow Ball to the face has the ability to one-shot your opponent, however, if you manage to pull off a bait by using Shadow Punch when you have enough energy to use a Shadow Ball then you will be rewarded with your opponent wasting a shield and still having excess energy to deal another lethal Charge Move to your opponent.Īnother strong Charge Move combination is having either Shadow Ball or Shadow Punch, which both work extremely well with Haunter, and having Sludge Bomb as a secondary move. Paired with Shadow Punch, the baiting potential is a high threat. Shadow Ball does a great deal of damage to neutral threats such as Skarmory and Bastiodon, an unexpected Shadow Ball without your opponent shielding can leave a dent in any tank.
Haunter with Shadow Ball is one of the strongest attacking Pokémon in the Great League due to its raw power. The strongest move combination that Haunter can learn for the Great League is having Shadow Claw as the Fast Move and for the Charge Move, Shadow Ball. This change was to keep things fair, as trainers that did not have a Haunter with this powerful move, had a disadvantage to those who did. Recently, Niantic has brought back many legacy moves for trainers to teach their Pokémon with TM’s. Not many people back then left Haunter as it is as the hype for Gengar was immeasurable because let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want a Gengar when the game is brand new.
Shadow Ball was an extremely rare Charge Move to have on Haunter as it is a Legacy Move that could only be learned back in 2016. One of the most terrifying things about coming up against a Haunter in battle is that you never know what Charge Move they may be running and if you do not have an immediate counter for it, then you’re in for a nerve-racking battle. If you are in a position where you get swapped into by one of its counters you can say bye-bye to Haunter as it will not stand a chance surviving for long. Pokémon that have access to hard-hitting Fast Moves that counter Haunter such as Confusion and Snarl will be the biggest threat/risk when it comes to using Haunter on a team composition. Haunter is a Ghost / Poison type that is highly vulnerable to Dark, Ground, Ghost, Psychic types. Pokémon such as Gallade, Bronzong, Hypno, Gardevoir and Umbreon to name a few are some of the hardest counters which you will need to watch out for when using Haunter.
