The Ghost-type is one of the smallest [[elemental types]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack called Curse, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move, works differently for Ghost-types than it does for other Pokémon. | The Ghost-type is one of the smallest [[elemental types]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game.

Ghost Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like confusion or 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 Ball}}. | Ghost Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like confusion or paralysis.

It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost-type are covered by the resistances of the {{type2|Dark}}, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses at all. What is to be remembered is that this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is also always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, as well, making for a weakness. | It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost-type are covered by the resistances of the {{type2|Dark}}, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses at all.
