Line 86: Line 86:
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.

Ghost-type moves are great for neutral coverage, as Steel-type Pokémon no longer resist them in Generation VI. No Pokémon resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}}- and Ghost-type moves, as the only combination capable of this ({{t|Normal}}/Ghost) has never materialized. A combination of {{t|Fairy}}- and Ghost-type moves has nearly as good coverage, only resisted by Normal types with a secondary type that resist Fairy, of which there are currently {{p|Litleo|only}} {{p|Pyroar|two}}. Despite this, Ghost types do not have reliable damaging moves that have 100 or more base [[power]].
