Giratina
Giratina is a powerful Pokemon in Pokemon Go and you can often find people using it in PvP battles.
It comes in two forms. Your Origin form has more defense, while your Altered form has more attack, so you can choose what is most important to you. Both can be found in five-star raid battles, though the set of pokemon that can appear in those battles is constantly changing, so you may need to check if it’s available by the time you’re reading this.
Giratina is a Legendary Ghost and Dragon type Pokémon. Will take less damage from Bug, Electric, Combat, Fire, Grass, Normal, Poison, and Water type attacks. However, keep in mind that it is vulnerable to Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, and Ice type attacks.
Gengar
Gengar is one of the most powerful Ghost-type Pokémon in Pokémon Go. It also has a Mega Evolution, which can be used for even greater power in battle.
Gengar can be evolved from Gastly (via Haunter) with candy. However, if you trade a Haunter with a friend, you can also get it without having to save up all those candy. Or, if you’re really lucky, you can sometimes catch Gengar in the wild.
Gengar is a ghost and poison type, so it is resistant to grass and fairies, and especially normal, poison, insect, and combat damage. However, it is vulnerable to Ground, Ghost, Psychic, and Dark-type attacks.
Candle holder
Chandelure is a powerful Pokémon to battle in Pokémon Go. He also has a shadow form that increases his attack power.
Chandelure can be evolved from Litwick, which can rarely be found in the wild or can be hatched from 10km eggs.
As a ghost and fire type, Chandelure has a lot of resistances. He will take reduced damage from Poison, Steel, Fire, Grass, Ice, and Fairy attacks, and even reduced damage from Normal, Fighting, and Bug-type attacks. However, it is vulnerable to Ground, Rock, Ghost, Water, and Dark-type attacks.
Trevenant
Trevenant is an interesting Pokemon that has a well rounded set of stats. With its array of strengths, it can be a good Pokemon to have on hand if you’re not sure what to expect from your opponent.
It can be evolved from Phantump for 200 candies, so grab as many as you can, walk with it as your friend, and feed it berries when you’re in the gyms to collect them.
Trevenant is a ghost and grass type, making it resistant to Ground, Water, Grass, Electric, Normal, and Fighting-type moves. However, it is weak to flying, ghost, fire, ice, and dark type moves.
