My Gengar's Dark Pulse always seemed to hit the Ghastly before they could set up Destiny Bond, so if you get lucky enough to strike quickly, you might be able to get away with it. Otherwise, sending them off the stage with Whirlwind or Roar gets rid of them for good, or you could always try slowing them down and killing them with Statuses (e.g. Burn, Freeze, Paralysis) or Stealth Rock damage.
