Ghost-type Pokemon can be tricky to deal with in battle so we’ve got a handy guide that details their weaknesses and resistances, as well as the best counters to use against them.
Some Pokemon are more troublesome in battles than others, and Ghost-types are definitely some of the sneakiest creatures in the franchise due to their status-altering moves. This means they can often be some of the toughest opponents to face.
Just like every type in the series, however, Ghost-types can, of course, have their own set of weaknesses and they can be countered. Now that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are with us, here’s what you need to know to survive an encounter with a Ghost-type Pokemon – and to come out victorious.

What is a Ghost-type Pokemon’s weaknesses
Ghost-type Pokemon have two primary weaknesses when it comes to moves and opposing Pokemon types:
Dark-types
Other Ghost-types
Therefore, when looking to take down a Ghost-type Pokemon, bring along a team that includes Pokemon which belong to those categories. However, we’d focus your efforts on Dark-types, as if you field another Ghost-type Pokemon, you’ll also be weak against your opponent.
Don’t forget that a Pokemon can have multiple types; For example, your chosen ‘mon may be a Ghost and Psychic-type Pokemon. So be sure to take advantage of any other weaknesses they may have by being aware of their secondary type.

Best counters for Ghost-types
When coming up against Ghost-types, Pokemon like Darkrai, Umbreon, and Absol are reliable options. These are pure Dark-types and can do a lot of damage while taking little in return.
Always bear in mind a Pokemon’s secondary type when selecting your counter Pokemon and moves. While the above three examples are effective against Ghost-types, the opposing Pokemon may have resistances based on their primary/secondary type.

Strengths & resistances
As well as having weaknesses, Ghost-type Pokemon are also resistant to certain other types and moves. When going up against a Ghost-type Pokemon, avoid Bug and Poison-types.
Pure Ghost-types are also immune to Fighting-type and Normal-type damage, so try to bear this in mind when heading into battle.

Some Ghost-type Pokemon can be especially easy to spot, but others are less distinguishable. If you’re confident that a Pokemon is not a Ghost-type, but bears similar characteristics, then you could be looking at a Dark, Fairy, or Psychic-type Pokemon.
So, that’s everything you need to know about Ghost-type pokemon including their weaknesses and resistances.

Just like other Pokémon games, Pokémon Go features many different types of Pokémon, all with their own strengths and weaknesses. In this Pokémon Go guide, we’ll explain how Pokémon types work, what type strengths and weaknesses are, and provides a table to help you learn what is strong against what.
Pokémon Go types, strengths, and weakness
Pokémon also has its own set of weaknesses and strengths. For example, bug-type Pokémon are weak against fire-, flying-, and rock-type moves. Bug-type moves are strong against dark-, grass-, and psychic-type moves. Fire-, flying-, and rock-type moves will do double damage against a bug-type, like Caterpie.
Some Pokémon have two types, which means they can have a doubled weakness or have their strength and weaknesses cancel out to just take normal damage. Rayquaza, a dragon- and flying-type, takes four times the damage from ice-type moves. On the flip side, Shuckle, a rock- and bug-type, takes normal damage from fire-type moves, since rock-type is strong against fire-type.
Strengths and weaknesses also aren’t necessarily just opposites of each other. Though fire-type move deal less damage to water-type Pokémon and water-type moves do doubled damage against fire-type Pokémon, this isn’t the case with every type. For example, fighting-type moves are strong against normal-types, but normal-types just do regular damage against fighting-types, rather than do reduced damage.
Knowing what Pokémon’s strengths and weaknesses are is an important aspect of raiding and battling. To do the most damage you can, you should make sure that your Pokémon’s moves are strong against what it’s battling.
Memorizing all of that can get confusing, so here’s a chart to help you out.
