Characteristics
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 teachable to everyone, had a different effect for Ghosts.
Ghost Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like confusion or paralysis. Most Ghost-type moves cause some effect, such as Curse. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as Hypnosis and Shadow Ball. This type only gained potential after the introduction of actual Ghost attacks in Gold/Silver/Crystal.
It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the Dark type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon Sableye (Dark/Ghost) has no weaknesses at all. What is to be remembered is that this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. Note: If Foresight or Odor Sleuth is used on Sableye, its immunity to Fighting-type attacks will be omitted and be weak to them instead.
