Ghost (type): Difference between revisions

}}

===Defense===

Being immune to both {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Fighting}} [[move]]s, the Ghost [[type]] is the only type with more than one immunity. However, these immunities can be removed by the [[move]]s {{m|Foresight}} or {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, or ignored by {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the {{Abilities}} {{a|Scrappy}} or {{a|Mind's Eye}}. In [[Generation I]] only, Ghost-type Pokémon cannot be [[Paralysis|paralyzed]] by {{m|Lick}}, and are affected by {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Seismic Toss}}, {{m|SonicBoom}}, and {{m|Super Fang}}, despite all of these aforementioned moves being Normal-type, and in [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} only, Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to {{m|Glare}}. Starting in [[Generation VI]], Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to being trapped by all {{cat|trapping moves}} and [[Ability|Abilities]], including [[bound|binding]] (e.g. the effect of {{m|Infestation}}) and are also guaranteed to be able to [[escape]] from battles against [[wild Pokémon]] regardless of {{stat|Speed}}. Ghost-type Pokémon are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific [[status move]]: {{m|Curse}}, which works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.
