Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|burn}}, as well as some sort of effect or a [[status condition]]. Contrary to {{type|Dark}}s, most Ghost-type Pokémon are [[special move|special]] attackers due to their typically high {{stat|Special Attack}}, despite the fact that Ghost-type moves were [[physical move]]s prior to [[Generation IV]].

In [[Generation I]], there were no types that resisted Ghost-type moves, although there was {{m|Lick|only one}} move that would be affected by [[same-type attack bonus]]. In [[Generation II]], {{t|Steel}} and Dark were added in order to resist Ghost-type moves. As of [[Generation VI]], the only differences between Dark and Ghost is that Dark-type moves are not very effective on Fighting or Fairy while Ghost-type moves do normal damage to those types, and Ghost-type moves do not affect Normal Pokémon.
