The '''Ghost type''' is one of the smallest group types in the game, with litte additions in each new Pokemon 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 Pokemon 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 Pokemon battling, because of their possesion 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. People thought that at first Nintendo was wrong for saying that Ghost types were not weak against [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]] attacks, until the introduction of Misdreavus, which showed that it was only the ones who were part-[[Poison (type)|Poison]] that had that extra weakness. It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the [[Dark (type)|Dark]] type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokemon Sableye(Dark/Ghost) has no weaknesses at all. What is to be remembered is that this does not make for a perfect Pokemon. | The '''Ghost type''' is one of the smallest group types in the game, with litte additions in each new Pokemon game.

Template:ElementalTypes The Ghost type is one of the smallest group types in the game, with litte additions in each new Pokemon 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 Pokemon 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 Pokemon battling, because of their possesion 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. People thought that at first Nintendo was wrong for saying that Ghost types were not weak against Psychic attacks, until the introduction of Misdreavus, which showed that it was only the ones who were part-Poison that had that extra weakness. 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 Pokemon Sableye(Dark/Ghost) has no weaknesses at all. What is to be remembered is that this does not make for a perfect Pokemon.
