Ghost Type Pokémon

Ghost-type Pokémon are some of the most powerful and versatile Pokémon in the game. They are immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves, and they can be very difficult to take down. However, there are a few types of Pokémon that can effectively counter Ghost-types.

Dark-type Pokémon

Dark-type Pokémon are amazingly effective in opposition to ghost-type pokémon. This is due to the fact that dark-type moves are based totally on terrible feelings, consisting of fear and despair. Ghost-type Pokémon are already weak to these feelings, so dark-type moves are even greater powerful in opposition to them.

Some examples of strong Dark-type Pokémon are:

• Tyranitar
• Hydreigon
• Darkrai
• Yveltal
• Bisharp
• Weavile

Fairy-type Pokémon

Fairy-type Pokémon are also super effective against Ghost-type Pokémon. Fairy-type moves are based on magic and purity, which are both things that Ghost-type Pokémon are afraid of.

Some examples of strong Fairy-type Pokémon are:

• Xerneas
• Gardevoir
• Togekiss
• Sylveon
• Mimikyu (Yes, Mimikyu is both Ghost- and Fairy-type, so it can beat other Ghost-types.)

Normal-type Pokémon with Scrappy Ability

Normally, Normal-type moves are not very effective against Ghost-type Pokémon. However, if a Normal-type Pokémon has the Scrappy Ability, its Normal-type moves will become super effective against Ghost-types.

Some examples of Normal-type Pokémon with the Scrappy Ability are:

• Pangoro
• Scrafty
• Hawlucha
• Alolan Marowak
• Scrappy Eevee
