Hello, I'm a Pokémon expert with extensive knowledge of the various types and their interactions in the game. When it comes to Ghost-type Pokémon, their effectiveness in battles is influenced by several factors. Here's a detailed breakdown:


1. Type Effectiveness: Ghost-type moves are super effective against Psychic and Ghost types. They are not very effective against Dark types and are completely ineffective against Normal types, as Normal types cannot be hit by Ghost-type moves.


2. Resist: Ghost-type Pokémon resist Poison and are immune to Fighting moves, which is a significant advantage as Fighting is a common super effective type against many other types.


3. Weaknesses: Ghost-types are weak to Dark and Ghost moves, which can be problematic as they are susceptible to their own type's moves.


4. Immunities: Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to Normal and Fighting moves, which is a notable advantage in battles.


5. Abilities: Certain Ghost-type Pokémon have abilities like Levitate, which makes them immune to Ground-type moves, providing a significant tactical advantage.


6. Stats: The individual stats of a Ghost-type Pokémon, such as its Speed, Special Attack, and Defense, will also affect its effectiveness in battle.

7.
Movepool: The range of moves a Ghost-type Pokémon can learn will also influence its battle performance.

8.
Strategy: How a Ghost-type Pokémon is used in battle, including its placement in the team and the strategy employed by the trainer, can significantly affect its effectiveness.
