A signature move could be difficult to manage. Ghost type has a pretty messed up power curve- astonish one one end, and shadow ball on the other. One possibility would be Hex- low base power, but useful pretty much throughout the game. Alternatively, Shadow Sneak and Shadow Punch could both be interesting, though a bit simpler. That aside, it would be pretty cool.
