* 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.

* In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], most Ghost-type Pokémon can naturally move through walls. While on a wall tile, they cannot be attacked (except by moves with multiple-hit range, as well as rocks) but can attack their foes, and their [[Belly]] empties at a rate of 5 per turn. | * In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], most Ghost-type Pokémon can naturally move through walls.

* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Ghost-type Pokémon which are not part-{{t|Flying}} or have {{a|Levitate}} are shown with an animation of physically passing through enemies, referencing the common belief that real life ghosts can pass through solid objects. They cannot, however, in-game pass through with any other obstacle on the field. | * In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Ghost-type Pokémon which are not part-{{t|Flying}} or have {{a|Levitate}} are shown with an animation of physically passing through enemies, referencing the common belief that real life ghosts can pass through solid objects.
