* As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Ghost-type Pokémon, despite their name, can still die. This was first mentioned in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where [[Acerola]] revealed that her {{shiny}} {{p|Mimikyu}}, Mimikins, is in fact the ghost of a deceased Mimikyu. Later, in ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', it is revealed that {{an|Professor Kukui}} had once befriended a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Trevenant}} that he [[nickname]]d Elder. It is later revealed that Elder is has since died, its body now a regular tree, though the circumstances of the death weren't revealed. {{mov|Giratina}} is another Ghost-type whose life has been in danger, in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. However, despite this, it appears that Ghost-type Pokémon's lifespan is in fact indefinite; a {{p|Yamask}} shown in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'' was told to be millennia old, suggesting that while Ghost-type Pokémon can still be killed, they aren't subject to the ravages of time and can live indefinitely. | * As shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Ghost-type Pokémon, despite their name, can still die.
