Ghost Type Pokemon

One of them is Agatha from the Elite Four being a specialist in Ghost Type pokemon. In Johto Morty of Ecruteak Gym specialized in Ghost Type pokemon.

Battle Properties

Like any other pokemon Ghost Type have an advantage over certain types. For example Normal Type pokemon cannot damage Ghost Type pokemon. Ghost type pokemon cannot also receive damage from Fighting type pokemon. However they did take extra damage from Dark types and other fellow Ghost Type pokemon. They also take half damage from incoming Poison or Bug Type attacks.

Type Defenses

However this can change if the pokemon is a dual-type (i.e. Psychic/ Ghost like Hoopa). Then Hoopa will take x4 damage if hit with a Dark Type attack.

Ghost Type

Dual Type

Dual Type pokemon often take more damage from a single element. However this is done in exchange for taking regular damage from another element the type in question is weak to. For example Hoopa is a dual Psychic/Ghost Type pokemon. If Hoopa gets hit with a Dark or Ghost type attack it’ll take quadruple the damage.

Primary: Water

Dual Type Ghost Type have two mixtures. One has Ghost as its primary type and the other as its secondary type. However regardless if the type is primary or secondary it does not affect the STAB and power of certain moves.

Ghost/Dark

The only Ghost Type pokemon with a Dark type attribute in it is Spiritomb. Making its appearance as Cynthia’s starter pokemon from the Elite Four Roster (Pokemon Diamond/ Pearl/ Platinum) this pokemon is known not to have any weakness. In order to defeat this Ghost-type pokemon players must brute force the pokemon. There is no known way to defeat a Ghost Type pokemon with a Dark type attribute that easily even in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon.

Ghost/ Dragon

The only Ghost Type Pokemon with Dragon as its secondary is Giratina. A legendary pokemon from Pokemon Platinum this pokemon is known to easily plow through enemies using a variety of Ghost type moves. If given the Ghost plate this creature can make short work of any Dark-type or Psychic type trainer. Because of its Dragon attribute however Giratina loses the Ghost type pokemon’s neutrality to other elements. It becomes susceptible to Ice Dragon Fairy and along with the Ghost type pokemon’s usual weaknesses.

Ghost/ Ground

Ghost Type under this category are immune to Electric attacks. The only two known pokemon here are Sandygast and Palossand two newly added pokemon from Pokemon Sun and Moon. It also has increased resistance against Poison type attacks. However they now take double damage form Water Grass and Ice attacks.

Ghost/ Fairy

The newest addition to the pokemon family Mimikyu is the only one even until Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon to have this unique combination. Being part fairy means Mimikyu loses its weakness to Darkness and instead swaps it out for Steel type attack weakness.

Ghost/ Flying

Any Ghost type pokemon under this type gains resistance from Bug and Grass types. However they take additional damage from Ice and Electric type pokemon.

Ghost/ Grass

As a half-Grass Type Pokemon the Ghost Type pokemon under this category are susceptible to Fire Ice and Flying.

Ghost/ Poison

Ghost/ Fire

To defeat pokemon from this category players need to use Fighting Ground Electric attacks for double damage. However players can also easily defeat them by using Grass Type pokemon.

Secondary: Ghost

Secondary Ghost Type Pokemon give more priority to certain types of attacks. For example if the pokemon is a Rock/ Ghost Type it will prioritize more Rock-type moves in terms of dealing damage. However in terms of weakness their weaknesses are similar to those who have Ghost as their primary type.

Water/ Ghost
