Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|paralysis}}. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also, there is no Pokémon that resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}}- and Ghost-type moves, as the only combination capable of this ({{t|Normal}}/Ghost) has never materialized. {{t|Fairy}} and Ghost-type moves are also a similar proportion, as {{t|Dark|one}} of the two types resisted by Ghost is weak against Fairy-type moves, and {{t|Steel|the other}} no longer resists Ghost-type moves as of Generation VI, so {{p|Litleo|only}} {{p|Pyroar|two}} Pokémon, both from the same evolutionary line, currently resist said combination.

Also, the Ghost-type can provide good use of it's STAB due to the fact that, with the current type chart in effect, it can no longer be doubly resisted (Although Normal types are still immune to it).
