The '''{{type|Ghost}} [[Types|type]]''' ('''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Gosuto taipu'' in Japanese) is one of the eighteen [[Pokémon Types|Pokémon elemental types]].
 
The '''{{type|Ghost}} [[Types|type]]''' ('''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Gosuto taipu'' in Japanese) is one of the eighteen [[Pokémon Types|Pokémon elemental types]].
   
It is a type that's characterized 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, {{type|Normal}} and {{type|Fighting}}, and its common to have moves of those two types. From [[Generation VI]] onwards, they are also immune to moves and abilities that prevent the Pokémon from escaping, like [[Block]] and [[Shadow Tag]].

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]].
   
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.

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 Pokemon 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]], 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]].

Type Ghost

The Ghost type (ゴーストタイプ Gosuto taipu in Japanese) 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 Pokemon 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; and Shauntal, a member of the Unova Elite Four.

Relations with other types

  • They're strong against the Psychic type because some people are afraid of ghosts, and fears affect the mind. Communing with ghosts is also said to be of a much different process than simply reading minds through physical or empirical means.
  • They're strong against themselves because there's a belief that the strongest spirit wins, with spirit referring to the desire to win something.
  • They're weak against the 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 Fighting and Normal types because spirits are incorporeal beings and thus can't be hit normally. This is also the reason 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 Poison type because it is impossible to 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 against the Fairy type.

Trivia
