In-Depth Analysis
Poltchageist's 308 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Special Attack (74) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 40 means careful positioning matters.
Its Grass, Ghost typing leaves Poltchageist with 5 weaknesses against 4 resistances and 2 full immunities. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Poltchageist in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
