Strategy Using Haunter

0With a great special attack and good speed, this pokemon is best as special sweeper. Although its a ghost type, being part poison causes Psychic pokemon to cause damage, and with low defenses it won't last long if you don't strike first, this is where Hidden power Dark comes in handy. Giga drain, Psychic and Thunderbolt, are all good moves for special sweeping. Giga drain can be replaced for status damaging moves such as will 'o wisp, but its entirely up to you.
