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|Shadow Claw}} 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 ({{t|Normal}}/Ghost) has never materialized. {{t|Fairy}}- and Ghost-type moves are also a similar proportion, as {{t|Dark|one}} of the two types resisted by Ghost is weak against Fairy-type moves, and {{t|Steel|the other}} no longer resists Ghost-type moves as of Generation VI, so {{p|Litleo|only}} {{p|Pyroar|two}} Pokémon, both from the same evolutionary line, currently resist said combination.
