The Ghost type is one of the 18 Pokémon elemental types. Most Ghost-type Pokémon have high Special Attack but have weaker Defense and Special Defense, but there are some exceptions. Their most noticeable properties are the immunities to Fighting-type and Normal-type attacks. Ghost-type Pokémon are also known to have access to certain status moves to inflict on opponents such as Will-O-Wisp, Confuse Ray, and Curse. From the core series games Pokémon X and Y onwards, they can escape all trapping moves and abilities, in addition to the fact that they are able to run away from any wild encounter regardless of level, without any aid from held items or Ability Run Away. Captain B. of Crescent Gym specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon.
