 Ghost type is a valuable defensive type due to being immune to both {{type|Fighting}}, one of the most popular attacking types, and {{type|Normal}}, a type with a number of strong moves. As of [[Generation VI]], Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to all {{cat|trapping moves}} and [[Ability|Abilities]], including {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{cat|moves that partially trap|partially-trapping moves}} such as {{m|Fire Spin}}. They are also guaranteed to [[escape|run]] from wild battles regardless of Speed.
-Prior to [[Generation VI]], Pokémon that are both {{type|Dark}} and Ghost-type have no weaknesses (excluding {{type|Fighting}} moves used under immunity-negating conditions such as {{DL|In-battle effect item|Ring Target}} or {{a|Scrappy}}), as the resistances of the Dark type cover the weaknesses of Ghost, and vice-versa. In Generation VI, the {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced, which is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against Dark and not resisted by Ghost, so these Pokémon now have a weakness to Fairy.

 They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type|???}} move before the type was removed in [[Generation V]], works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.
