 *Pure Ghost-type species were not introduced until [[Generation II]].
-*In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon. An abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been a programming error, rather than intentional: the immunity is contradicted by official type charts published by Nintendo for their ''Red''/''Blue''/''Yellow'' strategy guides, as well as the {{pkmn|anime}} in which it was said that Ghost-types are the best type to fight Psychic-type Pokémon. In ''Red'' and ''Blue'', a trainer in the Saffron Gym even states that Psychic-type Pokémon “only fear Bugs and Ghosts” though this was corrected to just Bugs-types in ''Yellow''. It is the only elemental type to go from 0× effectiveness to 2× effectiveness on another type between generations.

 *There are no Ghost-type moves that have an accuracy lower than 100%, as all of them have a 100% accuracy or never miss.
 *Ghost-type Pokémon are the only {{cat|single-type Pokémon}} that can have more than one immunity.
 *The Ghost-type is one of the two types that are weak to their own moves, together with the Dragon-type.
-*All Ghost-type Pokémon which have a second type that is weak to Ground-type attacks have the {{a|Levitate}} ability, so as of Generation IV there is no Ghost-type Pokémon that is weak to Ground-type attacks (unless an attacking Pokémon has negated the ability, e.g. {{a|Mold Breaker}} or {{m|Gravity}}).
+*All Ghost-type Pokémon that have a secondary type that is weak to Ground-type attacks have the {{a|Levitate}} ability, so as of Generation IV there is no Ghost-type Pokémon that is weak to Ground-type attacks unless the ability has been somehow negated.
-*Disregarding abilities, Drifloon, Drifblim, Sableye and Spiritomb are the only Pokémon so far to be immune to 3 attack types (Drifloon and Drifblim are immune to Normal, Fighting and Ground, whereas Sableye and Spiritomb are immune to Normal, Fighting and Psychic).
+*Disregarding abilities, Drifloon, Drifblim, Sableye and Spiritomb are the only Pokémon so far to be immune to three types (Drifloon and Drifblim are immune to Normal, Fighting and Ground, whereas Sableye and Spiritomb are immune to Normal, Fighting and Psychic).
 *Ghost is the least abundant type among Pokémon, with only 18 Pokémon of this type among the 493 total.
 *So far, the only Ghost-type attack with a base power greater than 80 is {{m|Shadow Force}}, which is [[signature move|exclusive]] to {{p|Giratina}}.
