So there are some obvious answers, but here’s what I settled on.
Gengar and Misdreavus are the given ghost types for a ghost specialist this generation.
My first pick afterwards is Lapras. Cryptids are similarly prevalent in folklore and can be equally creepy at times (although Lapras is admittedly not the latter part). Figured Lapras was a good representative for them.
Xatu is my second pick as totem poles are a connection to the spiritual, especially to direct ancestors. Could very easily set a backstory to such a concept.
Rapidash is similar to a kirin, which in mythology have connections to the spirits of wisemen.
My final pick ended up being Umbreon. Its connection to the moon and night makes it the best representative of gen 2 for a spirit’s favorite time.
So, my final team would be (honestly this is gen 2. Item clause isn’t viable but I am gonna try anyways.)
Misdreavus @ Leftovers
-Mean Look
-Perish Song
-Protect
-Confuse Ray
Umbreon @ Mint Berry
-Toxic
-Pursuit
-Sleep Talk
-Rest
Xatu @ Twisted Spoon
-Psychic
-Night Shade
-Haze
-Hidden Power
Lapras @ Mystic Water
-Confuse Ray
-Sing
-Hydro Pump
-Ice Beam
Ninetales @ Charcoal
-Sunny Day
-Fire Blast
-Toxic
-Confuse Ray
Gengar @ Spell Tag
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Punch
-Shadow Ball
-Destiny Bond
Obviously not the most competitive team, but probably what I would think of for in-game.
I probably could have thought of more, but I already had 6 selected so I stopped.

Porygon2 “posseses” computers. Too much of a stretch since it only travels through computers.
Starmie was my night theme before I remembered Umbreon.
Togetic as a “spirit” of happiness.
Unown as “haunting” the Ruins of Alph.
Hypno to represent nightmares.
