Ghost types have a unique combination of immunities (Normal, Fighting) and offensive power. They shine in both PvE and PvP thanks to spooky movepools loaded with status, recovery, and trick options. Here are the ten best.

Ghost Typing Power
Being immune to Normal and Fighting means Ghost types counter a huge portion of physical attackers. They\'re also one of only two types that can hit Normal super-effectively (the other being... nothing, Ghost is literally the only one).
Ghost Counters
Dark types hit Ghost for 2x and are immune to Ghost in return, making them the perfect hard counter. Pokemon like Weavile, Tyranitar, and Hydreigon shred Ghost teams. Ghost is also weak to other Ghost moves, leading to wild mirror matches.
