Pokemon Haunter Master

~The outcast is not alone... he has a friend~
Hello to all pokefans out there as well as furry fans. This may be posting a little off topic for the site but eh, it's my journal right? This rant is dedicated to my undisputable favorite Pokemon Haunter.
That's right, I am a Haunter trainer. No, I do not specialize specifically in Ghost Pokemon. My lineup is not type specific because I value diversity however my one Ghost Pokemon is my pride and joy. Just to save questions later on though, my final line up is Haunter, Scyther, Kabutops, Ditto, Porygon Z, and Garchomp.
Now as for Haunter, this thing is a demon... almost literally. His biggest advantage is that to combat a Haunter that is truly trained to its full potential is to combat three different opponents! Haunters arms are not physically attached to his body so that gives him the edge of being able to attack from three directions at once. Each hand or the head are capable of casting a Shadow Ball, the claws can use Shadow Punch and Sucker Punch while the head combos with Night Shade or Hypnosis, and he covers all his bases by being able to learn Fire & Ice & Thunder punch as well. That's still not even touching his full capability.
Haunter can turn invisible and there are many moves that have no visual effect to see where it is coming from. So a hiding head using Psychic combined with Sucker Punches can be devastating leaving nothing to attack back at. Now as if this was not overpowering enough, most people know about his Hypnosis/Dream Eater healing combo but there are even worse capabilities since this Pokemon can also use Pain Split for healing as well as a table turner. To top it off, with the Egg Move Explosion all rationality would suggest that Haunter could use that devastating force without causing itself to faint because Ghost Types are immune to normal damage.
Alas, the more terrifying aspect of this monstrosity I have saved for the last... for when night falls or when lighting is dim ghost Pokemon have the ability to make you see anything that they wish. How distracted would you be in a Pokemon battle if zombies were rising from the ground at your feet? How horrifying would it be to see both your Pokemon's as well as your own worst fears turned against you as an invisible force tortures your friend with Psychic attacks before your very eyes and then eats its soul with Dream Eater and Nightmare combos.
What's that? Had enough? Too much you say? ... Never. It is never enough with Haunter. No matter what you do there is always more, there is always another strategy. Oh you say you have a Pokemon who for sure could defeat my haunting friend? That may be, that may be. But Haunter in turn will take yours down with it no matter what you choose and I am not talking about Destiny Bind. Haunter was given the most deadly move in all of Pokemon...
Curse! No not the stat boost, I mean the ghost effect. It is undefeatable. There is no cure for it... There is no way to block or avoid or protect against it... There is no way to hide from it, even switching out will cause it to continue when you switch back again. There is nothing you can do but accept that you WILL be taken down... painfully. >;);
Hehehehe see you in the ring, haun- haunt- haun....
