Spiritomb Guide
For Sun & Moon, we rate Spiritomb C-Tier: a niche pick in Sun & Moon's meta. At 485 BST, it fits the trick room role. Will O Wisp with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Sun & Moon, Spiritomb's biggest threats include Gardevoir (Fairy), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 35 Speed, Spiritomb won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Pressure is the go-to ability for Spiritomb. It increases the PP cost of moves targetting the Pokémon by one. Its hidden ability Infiltrator can work in specific setups.
Base 35 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Spiritomb is leaning toward the physical side (base 92 Attack). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a trick room.
In Sun & Moon, the best way to handle Spiritomb: Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Fairy-type attackers hit hardest.
Game Availability
Available in 13 titles since its debut in Diamond & Pearl, Spiritomb spans 7 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in a solid number of games.
