{{type|Ghost}}-[[Types|type]] [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] tend to be weak in terms of attack, but they also tend to specialize in speed and special defense. Most ghost types are very hard to hit. They are strong against Psychic Pokémon.
  
  +
The {{Nihongo|{{type|Ghost}} [[Types|type]]|ゴーストタイプ|Gosuto taipu}} is one of the eighteen [[Pokémon Types|Pokémon elemental types]].
   
  +
The Ghost type is notable for having few Pokémon (many of whom have low HP) and moves. In battles, the Ghost-type is useful because it's the only type that has two immunities: [[Normal type|Normal]] and [[Fighting type|Fighting]], both of which are common move types. From [[Generation VI]] onwards, Ghost-types are also immune to moves and abilities that prevent escaping, like [[Block]] and [[Shadow Tag]].
−
'''Ghost Pokémon''' deal with the supernatural, specifically the realm of the dead. In the [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Red, Blue]] and [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]] versions of Pokémon, all wild Ghost Pokémon required a special item to see them clearly.
  
   
  +
Pokémon of this type are usually connected to fear, the dark and the afterlife. They usually live in abandoned houses, cemeteries, funeral places and uninhabited dark places such as caves. Also, Ghost-type Pokémon tend to be extremely naughty, pranking humans just to see their faces and reactions. Curiously, the more scared a human is, the more power the Ghost Pokémon will have to prank with it. At worst, some Ghost-type Pokémon may have relatively murderous behaviors, such as [[Jellicent]] preying on ships and their crews or the [[Litwick]] evolutionary family draining the life energy from people that are lost.
−
Excluding [[Arceus]] while holding a [[Spooky Plate]], the only legendary Ghost Pokémon is [[Giratina]].
  
   
  +
Famous Ghost-type Pokémon Trainers include [[Agatha]], third member of the [[Kanto Elite Four]]; [[Morty]], the fourth Gym Leader of [[Johto]]; [[Phoebe]], second member of the [[Hoenn Elite Four]]; [[Fantina]], the fifth Gym Leader in the [[Sinnoh]] region; [[Shauntal]], a member of the [[Unova Elite Four]]; [[Acerola]], a [[Trial Captain]] of [[Ula'ula Island]], [[Alola]] as well as its third [[Alola Elite Four|Elite Four]] member; [[Allister]], the fourth Gym Leader of [[Galar]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield|Pokémon Shield]]; and [[Ryme]], the Gym Leader of [[Montenevera]] in [[Paldea]].

==Relations with other types==
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Psychic}}-type because some people are afraid of ghosts, and fears affect the mind. Communing with ghosts is also said to be a much different process than simply reading minds through physical or empirical means.
  +
*They're weak against themselves because ghosts can touch each other, and there's a belief that the strongest spirit wins, with spirit referring to the desire to win something.
  +
*They're weak against the {{Type|Dark}}-type because dark represents terror and evil, and it is said that evil spirits (like [[Spiritomb]]) are punished. According to some belief systems, ghosts who lead evil lives and refuse to go to the afterlife are said to transform into demons, and demons in some mythologies are feared and also rumored to eat lost souls.
  +
*They're immune to the {{Type|Fighting}} and {{Type|Normal}}-types because spirits are incorporeal beings and thus can't be hit normally. This is also the reason why the {{Type|Normal}}-type is immune to them, because a mortal and a ghost can't hurt each other. Interestingly, the {{Type|Fighting}}-type is not immune to them.
  +
*They resist the {{Type|Poison}}-type because you can't poison someone who's already dead, and since spirits don't have a physical form, toxins can't pass through.
  +
*They resist the {{Type|Bug}}-type because members of that type cannot easily transcend the spiritual barrier members of this type hide behind in order to attack them. Also because parasites can't infect someone who's already dead.
  +
  +
==Trivia ==
  +
* The only Ghost-type Pokémon of Generation I were Gastly and its evolutions.
  +
*Before Generation II, {{Type|Psychic}}-type Pokémon were immune to Ghost-type moves, although it's largely believed this was due to a programming error, since Nintendo-published guides claimed they were weak to them. This created a balance issue that was rectified in later generations.
  +
*The first pure Ghost-type Pokémon was [[Misdreavus]], which was introduced in Generation II.
  +
*No Gym Leader or Elite Four member who specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon was introduced in Generation VI.
  +
*Similarly to the {{Type|Dark}} type, the Ghost type is usually not straightforward when representing a Pokémon. Sometimes, Ghost Pokémon like [[Yamask]] and [[Gengar]] are this type because they are actual dead humans. This could also be seen as a term of murderous instincts like [[Jellicent]] which sinks ships and [[Froslass]] which freezes and keeps humans. It could also come from the fact that normal items could be possessed by a ghost like [[Banette]] or [[Aegislash]] (Banette being a possessed doll and Aegislash being a possessed sword). This could also relate to the mischievous actions of ghosts like [[Misdreavus]] and [[Rotom]]. This could also be because they have supernatural powers like [[Hoopa]] or [[Giratina]] (Hoopa can create portals and Giratina can use the powers of gas-type-matter).
  +
*As shown from certain Pokémon like [[Mimikins]], it is shown that certain Ghost types can in fact die despite being considered a "ghost".
  +
*The {{Type|Ghost}} type has the same type advantages as the {{Type|Dark}}-type ({{Type|Psychic}} and {{Type|Ghost}}).
  +
*The Ghost type alone is the only type with two immunities.
  +
*Morty and Allister are the only male {{Type|Ghost}}-type trainers so far.
  +
*The Ghost type is tied with the {{type|Ice}} type and the {{Type|Ground}} type for the least Gigantamax forms, each having 1.
  +
*The Ghost type is the last type [[Ash Ketchum]] caught in the anime, where he caught a [[Ash's Gengar|Gengar]] in [[PJ016: A Chilling Curse!|A Chilling Curse!]].
  +
*The Ghost type has the most accurate moves of any type, as the only Ghost-type move capable of missing is [[Poltergeist]].
  +
*The {{Type|Rock}} type is the only type that hasn't been paired with the {{Type|Ghost}} type thus far.
  +
*Some Ghost types are based on Yōkai from Japanese mythology; Froslass being based on the Yuki-Onna and Phantump being based on the Kodama.

Type Ghost
Type Ghost HOME

The Ghost type (Japanese: ゴーストタイプ, Hepburn: Gosuto taipu) is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.

The Ghost type is notable for having few Pokémon (many of whom have low HP) and moves. In battles, the Ghost-type is useful because it's the only type that has two immunities: Normal and Fighting, both of which are common move types. From Generation VI onwards, Ghost-types are also immune to moves and abilities that prevent escaping, like Block and Shadow Tag.

Pokémon of this type are usually connected to fear, the dark and the afterlife. They usually live in abandoned houses, cemeteries, funeral places and uninhabited dark places such as caves. Also, Ghost-type Pokémon tend to be extremely naughty, pranking humans just to see their faces and reactions. Curiously, the more scared a human is, the more power the Ghost Pokémon will have to prank with it. At worst, some Ghost-type Pokémon may have relatively murderous behaviors, such as Jellicent preying on ships and their crews or the Litwick evolutionary family draining the life energy from people that are lost.

Famous Ghost-type Pokémon Trainers include Agatha, third member of the Kanto Elite Four; Morty, the fourth Gym Leader of Johto; Phoebe, second member of the Hoenn Elite Four; Fantina, the fifth Gym Leader in the Sinnoh region; Shauntal, a member of the Unova Elite Four; Acerola, a Trial Captain of Ula'ula Island, Alola as well as its third Elite Four member; Allister, the fourth Gym Leader of Galar in Pokémon Shield; and Ryme, the Gym Leader of Montenevera in Paldea.
