There are a couple of ways to handle this gym. One is to come in with powerful Psychics (since all these Ghosts are part Poison) and try to K.O. them quickly. Kadabra is fast, so a high-level one can do a lot of damage (however, watch out for Gengar's Shadow Ball, which is super-effective against Psychic types). Another is to exploit the Normal-type resistance to Ghost by teaching a straight Normal Pokémon (like Sentret) a non-Normal attack, like Surf or Dig. Most of the Ghosts won't be able to hurt it, except by using Curse, an attack that usually backfires (it costs the user ½ of its HP) and that you can easily get around by swapping out your Pokémon (unless you were hit with Mean Look). Also, Dark-type attacks work great here, so use Pokémon with moves like Bite and Pursuit. | There are a couple of ways to handle this gym.

You can also use the Machop from before, at level 25 it learns foresight. It looks like a useless move, but it can be useful against ghost pokemon. When you use foresight, the Machop can hit the ghost pokemon with his fighting attacks, which wouldn't work without otherwise | You can also use the Machop from before, at level 25 it learns foresight.

Beware of Gengar's Dream Eater / Hypnosis combo! It can and will be a difficult fight without Awakening; The most powerful one of the lot seems to be the only user of this deadly tirade, though. | Beware of Gengar's Dream Eater / Hypnosis combo!
