Aww, Hatenna looks like something straight out of Kirby; a fine Ralts 2.0.
 
based on extinct animal is all imo
what animal is that. Like, it looks like a dinosaur, but which one specifically?
Same reason Decidueye is part Ghost: it's based on an extinct species? They way it's tail is drawn does make it look sort of ghostly.
the former logic by itself isn't enough reason for somefin to be a ghost though. Though you're right about the tail, I did notice that.
It's head is a stealth bomber. Stealth = ghost.
didn't think of it that way
I'm not terribly sure either, but its tail is rather ethereal looking and calls ectoplasm to mind...so maybe it launches out ectoplasm (the mini-dragons) at its foes?
perhaps...
It's based off a stealth aircraft, called a Nighthawk I thinl, so it can probably turn invisible and attack.
I see....

like, I'm not complaining that it's a ghost, it's just...odd. People pointing out the stealth aircraft thing helps it make more sense though.

Have people already complained about how feminine it looks? If not I think we'll have to wait till the gender ratio is revealed being 50%.

Yeah; that's why I phrased it as a question. Decidueye isn't very ghostly either; just stealthy and based on an extinct owl.

The species is the Diplocaulus:

I don't think "being based on an extinct species" is why Decidueye is part ghost. If being based on an extinct species was the reason why anything was ghost, then we'd have a lot more Ghost-types than we currently do.

Bulbapedia said:
It is most similar to the pueo owl in particular, which is a common physical form of the aumakua, ancestral spirits in Hawaiian culture. This may account for its Ghost typing.
 
I think I'm starting to get a clearer picture of my in-game team for Shield now.

-Galarian Rapidash
