The Ghost type is the smallest [[elemental types|elemental type]] 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: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move before the type was removed in [[Generation V]], works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon. | The Ghost type is the smallest [[elemental types|elemental type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game.

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|Hypnosis}} 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 (Normal/Ghost) has never been used. | ||
It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}} type, 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 always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}}, creating a weakness, or neutrality in the case of the latter. | It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}} type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses at all.
