Several Ghost-type Pokémon
Ghost is one of the 18 Pokémon types. It is super effective on Ghost and Psychic types but, not very effective on Dark and completely ineffective on Normal types. However, Bug and Poison types are not very effective to it and it is immune to Normal and Fighting types. As of Generation VI, Ghost types are immune to trapping effects and can flee any wild battle. Notable ghost trainers include Morty of Ecruteak City, Phoebe of the Hoenn Elite Four, Fantina of Hearthome City, Shauntal of the Unova Elite Four, Acerola of the Alola Elite Four, Allister of Stow-on Side and Montenevera Gym Leader Ryme.
