Revision as of 16:23, 6 September 2014
The Ghost type (ゴーストタイプ Gosuto taipu in Japanese) is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.
It is a type that's caracterized for having few amounts of Pokémon and moves, also because its Pokémon tend to have low HP. In battles this type is useful because it's the only type that has two immunities, Normal and Fighting, and its common to have moves of those two types. From Generation VI on they are also immune to moves and abilities that prevent the Pokémon from escaping, like Block and Shadow Tag.
The Pokémon of this type are usually related to fear, dark and the afterlife. They usually live in abandoned houses, cemeteries, funeral places and inhabited and dark places. Also Ghost-type Pokémon tend to be extremely naughty, pranking on humans just to see their faces and reactions. A curious thing is that if the human is more scared, more power the Pokémon it will have to prank with it.
Famous Ghost-type Pokémon Trainers include Agatha, third member of the Kanto Elite Four; Morty, Gym Leader of Johto; Phoebe, second member of the Hoenn Elite Four; Fantina, Gym Leader in the Sinnoh region; and Shauntal, a member of the Unova Elite Four.

Relations with other types
- They're strong against the Psychic type because some people have a psychological fear to ghosts, just as the Bug type.
- They're strong against themselves because there's a belief that the strongest spirit wins, also no one would have supernatural powers than other ghost.
- They're weak against the Dark type because dark represents terror and evilness, and they say that evil spirtis (like Spiritomb) are punished. It could also be said that darkness controls the spirit at some time.
- They're immune against the Fighting and Normal types because spirits are incorporeal beings, and that's also why the Normal type is immune to them, because a mortal and a ghost can't hurt each other. Interestingly, the Fighting type is not immune to them.
- They resist the Bug type because a ghost scares more than an insect.
- They resist the Poison type because you can't poison someone who's already dead.
- Before Generation VI, a Ghost and Dark type didn't have any weakness and was immune to the types Psychic, Normal and Fighting. However, from Generation VI onwards, they're weak only against the Fairy type.
Trivia

- The first pure Ghost-type Pokémon was Misdreavus.
