hi /vp/ I want to include a ghost pokemon on my team, but I can't choose between Froslass or Mismagius, according to you, which one is the better choice? please consider the following aspects, design, stats, movepool (hard mode: no egg moves) & probability to acquire a new evolution next gen.
Froslass is cuter
Decidueye is the best ghost waifu

Sorry, but Decidueye wasn't available on gen III

Tough call, but I'll say Froslass
>Faster
>Ice and Ghost STABS
>Wider movepool
>Actually learns moves by level up after evolving, no need to hold off on evolving it
>mixed offenses, can run physical set/mixed set to throw people off, plus has access to Ice Shard.
Also to consider, however:
Design is subjective(personally I prefer Mismagius), Mismagius also has better special stats and is only slightly slower. It's movepool is a lot more limited though, and doesn't learn anything by level up after evolving. Neither one is likely to gain a new evolution any time soon, but Froslass might be eligible for a Mega somewhere down the line(assuming they continue to make new Megas)

Neither were Froslas or Mismagius, they were introduced in Gen IV

I know, I forgot to mention that I'm a ribbonfag, my entire team is composed of pokemon that came from Colosseum & XD as shadow pokemon (so they can obtain the national & earth ribbon there before trading them into R/S/E) you can't capture Mismagius or Froslass on gen III, but you can get both Misdreavus & Snorunt there & palpark them into Diamond/Pearl where they can evolve into Mismagius & Froslass and get the ribbons, thanks for your advice, I think I'll keep Froslass, Glalie already has a mega, It's only a matter of time before Froslass gets one too.
Mismagius, because Lapras is an Ice type and having another Ice type is not necessary. Mismagius has a smaller movepool though, but whatever you use is up to you.
