Quick Answer
Ghost types in Cobblemon are almost exclusively cave and underground spawns, and the majority only appear at night. The Gastly line is the most common and easiest to find. Aegislash, Mismagius and Chandelure are the rarest. If it's daytime and you're above ground, you're in the wrong place at the wrong time — go underground, wait for night.
How Ghost Type Spawning Works
Ghost types follow the strictest spawning rules of any type in Cobblemon. Almost all of them have two conditions that must both be true: underground location and night time. Break either condition and most ghost types simply won't appear.
The underground condition means Y-level matters. Most ghost spawns are most active below Y-40, where the cave system is densest. Shallow caves (Y-50 to Y-60) will produce some spawns but at a lower rate. Go deep.
A small number of ghost types — notably the Misdreavus line and Duskull — also spawn on the surface at night, in dark forests and plains. These are rarer overworld spawns but useful if you want to avoid caving.

Best Locations for Ghost Type Hunting
Below Y-40 at night is where the ghost type spawn pool is biggest. Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Sableye, Litwick, Chandelure, Honedge and Aegislash all appear here. The deeper you go, the more the rarer entries start appearing. Y-20 and below is the sweet spot for Gengar, Aegislash and Rotom.
A handful of ghost types spawn on the surface but only in the darkest biomes — dark oak forests, old growth taigas, roofed forests. Misdreavus, Shuppet and Phantump are the main ones. These are good if you want ghost types without having to go underground, though the variety is smaller.
Drifloon, Duskull and Pumpkaboo spawn across almost any surface biome at night — they're not limited to dark forests. If you're just starting out and need a ghost type fast, waiting until night in any grassy biome will get you these three.
