Ghost-type Pokemon have specific weaknesses and resistances in the core games and in Pokémon GO. Here are the key points:
- Weak against: Dark and Ghost-type moves. Ghost-type attacks deal super effective damage to Ghosts, and Dark-type attacks also deal super effective damage to Ghosts. This makes Ghosts vulnerable to both Ghost and Dark moves.
- Immune to: Normal and Fighting-type moves. Ghost-types cannot be damaged by attacks of these two types.
- Resistant to: Poison and Bug-type moves. Ghost-types take reduced damage from these types.
- Effective pairing notes:
- Ghost moves are super effective against Psychic and Ghost types. This creates a Psychic-Ghost interaction where Ghost moves hit Psychics hard, and Ghosts themselves are strong against Ghosts.
* Conversely, Ghost-type moves are not very effective against Dark types, and Dark moves are especially effective against Ghosts. This creates a notable advantage for Dark-type counters.
If you want, I can tailor this to a specific game (mainline Pokémon games vs. Pokémon GO) or list common Ghost-type counters and move options for quick battles.
