Spiritomb Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, we rate Spiritomb C-Tier: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. At 485 BST, it fits the trick room role. Will O Wisp with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra 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 a mixed attacker with base 92 Attack and 92 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a trick room.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Will O Wisp, Dark Pulse, Shadow Sneak, and Painsplit. Will O Wisp leads at 0% usage. This set covers the trick room role with a mix of damage and utility.
