Hi, i'm Mr T and i'd like to say somthing. STOP DISSING Base Gastly/Haunter. They seriously aren't that bad. Lets take a look at their stats.
 
Gastly,
 
30 HP - Not good at all.
 
Resistance to Fighting, Jab does nothing! Yey!
 
Free retreat, thats good!
 
Sleeping Gas, I can't say this attack is good at much except pissing off your opponent (flip a coin, if heads the opponent is now pissed off, yeah sleep is annoying).
 
Destiny Bond. You may have to discard one energy but say they have a fully charged Gyrados, Alakazam, Machamp or one of the Big three, they have no choice but to Ko u and that means KOing theirself.
 
Haunter,
60 HP, thats pretty good.
 
Resistance to fighting, more resistance to Jab!
 
1 For retreat, nothin wrong with that.
 
Hypnosis, guarranteed sleep for 1 rulz!
 
Dream Eater, 50 damage is good but they have to be asleep (that hypnosis keeps geting better) a very good attack if they manage to stay asleep (it only costs 2).
 
There, u go, now i'm not saying that the fossil versions R worse, but they seriously aren't that bad. So stop dissing them! Send comments and hatemail to psyduck_rulz123@hotmail.com.
Also, pojo is the best site on the net today!
