* In [[Generation I]], Ghost-type moves have no effect on {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} ([[EP023|''The Tower of Terror'']] and [[EP024|''Haunter versus Kadabra'']]), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in {{game|Yellow}}). This was changed in [[Generation II]] to make Ghost moves actually be super effective against Psychic-type Pokémon. | * In [[Generation I]], Ghost-type moves have no effect on {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error.
