Ghost is one of the best defensive typings too, with two type immunities, including immunity to Rapid Spin, and a wide array of utility moves even if a big amount of pokemon carry moves like Knock Off that can really punch holes in any Ghost wall. Since that generation, however, the ghost type was balanced to the point of becoming really good offensively due to the removal of Steel’s resistance to Ghost which only left Dark as the only resisting type. Ghost has been around since the first generation where the only evolutionary line of that typing, Ghastly, Haunter and Gengar, had only one STAB move and failed to check psychic types due to an error in the games. There are many options when it comes to ghost types, from fast sweepers to utility walls ghost types shine with their flexibility, however the sheer amount of Pokemon that carry dark moves in their arsenal has been keeping ghost types in check ever since pokebank came out in gen 6. There aren’t many ghost type mons scattered across the different generations but strength doesn’t necessarily come with numbers. ![]()
