Additionally, prior to [[Generation VI]], Pokémon that are both Dark-type and {{type|Ghost}} 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 super effective against Dark and not resisted by Ghost, so these Pokémon now have a weakness to Fairy.

Meanwhile, a Psychic/Dark-type Pokémon, such as {{p|Inkay}} and {{p|Malamar}}, has no resistances while having a double weakness to Bug-type moves and an immunity to Psychic (it is also the only type combination with Bug as a sole weakness).
