Like any other game in the franchise, Pokemon GO lacks a powerful set of Ghost-type Pocket Monsters. There are a few high meta-ranking Ghost-types that can rival other powerful fighters, but when it comes to medium-level options, they are lackluster in comparison to others.
Examining a monster’s power is done by carefully observing its meta and build. When taking Combat Power and Pokemon GO stats into account, only a few fighters come into the ranks of being powerful. Here is a list of some of the strongest Ghost-types Pocket Monsters in Pokemon GO.

Boosted by fog and windy weather, the best moveset for this fighter is a combination of Shadow Claw and Dragon Claw (11.49 DPS). Giratina is vulnerable to Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, and Ice-type moves, but can easily resist a long list of Fighting, Normal, Bug, Electric, Fire, Grass, Poison, and Water-type movesets.
