Weakness of Spiritomb – how to beat Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

What makes fighting this Pokémon difficult is its dual elemental type. Spiritomb is a dual-type Dark-Ghost Pokémon, so its only weakness is Fairy-type Pokémon. This type was not introduced until generation 6, so the Spiritomb was truly invincible. However, since his introduction, you can use this weakness to defeat him in BDSP. To do this, you’ll need Fairy-type or Movement Pokémon.

Tips for Defeating Spiritomb – BDSP

Since we know Spiritomb’s weakness, here are some tips on how to beat this Pokémon in BDSP:

• Use Pokémon like Azumarill, Togekiss or Clefable.
• You can also use Gardevoir or Sylveon as they are Fairy types too.
• Acquire magical-type moves such as Lunar Blast, Foul Play, or Dazzling Shine. You can buy Dazzling Gleam TM at Veilstone City Department Store for 3,000 Poké Dollars.
• Use status attacks like the flamethrower to inflict a burn. Since Spiritomb is bulky, this will help you drain its health.
• Wear X Sp. Defend yourself and use it as soon as the battle begins. Spiritomb uses special attacks, so this item will drastically increase your Sp. Protection.
• Avoid Pokémon with elemental-type normal, combat, and psychic attacks, as they won’t affect Spiritomb.
• Make sure you save the PP of all Fairy’s attacks before facing the Spiritomb. The Pressure ability will reduce your PP by 2 instead of 1.
• Look for the Pixie Plate item and have your Fairy-type Pokémon hold it to boost its attacks.
