Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Fantina
Fantina’s ghost-type team in Diamond and Pearl really just goes to show you ghost Pokémon are still pretty damn powerful. Ghost did get an additional weakness in Gold and Silver with the introduction of the dark type, but its only other weakness is ghost itself, which means if you choose to go that route, you’re opening yourself up to some risky plays as her Mismagius rains down Shadow Balls on unsuspecting ghost-type Pokémon. Many of Diamond and Pearl’s gym battles are pretty standard fare compared to others we’re highlighting here, but Fantina’s Mismagius is still a pretty tough opponent to meet around the midpoint of your journey through Sinnoh when you’re not yet a master of all the Pokémon elements.
