In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 508, Polteageist plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Special Attack at 134, while HP (60) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Ghost combination gives Polteageist 2 resistances, 2 immunities, and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 60 puts Polteageist in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
