Any good dark/ghost types before Shelly?

[Wevrand]

Howdy, i'm looking for a good dark or ghost type for my team due to my team having a great weakness to psychic, can anyone help?

[Ghost141]

Dark types: In magma gang alleyway u can find Stunky, Poochyena, while in aqua gang alleyway u can find alolan Meowth and alolan Ratata. In Obsidia slums u can find Pancham.

Ghost types: Pumpkaboo in Beryl cemetery, if u have a soul candle and u use it on a pumpkin.

 

I would recomand Stunktank, since learns by move tutor flamtrower, lv 31 night slash and lv 38 sucker punch, but alolan Raticate it's good too if used with hustie, it's just a little risky.

By level up, actually.
It can also learn Dark Pulse (by TM), whose flinch chance afaik stacks with Stench.

You can get a Houndour or Carvanha by doing the gang quests.

They are? Oh, shows how long its been since I've been through that part of the game.

Beryl Ward at night: Shuppet, Pumpkaboo. If you are lucky and wind blows: Drifloon, next to Shade's gym.

 

People say you can get Zorua before or after Shelly. I got it right after her, but those who made the videos, insist they did it before. You need to visit Beryl rooftop, during a clear night. Then chase Zorua.

 

Mightyena can work, too, is pretty decent.

Errata corrige: they don't stack.
From the code, in case you're curious:
