About the Random Ghost-Type Pokémon Generator

This generator picks a random Ghost-type Pokémon from all 65 species that have Ghost as one of their types, from Gastly to Pecharunt. 16 of them are pure Ghost types, and the other 49 pair Ghost with a second type. Every generation from Kanto to Paldea is included.

Ghost-type Pokémon are drawn from spirits, folklore, haunted objects and the afterlife. Whether you want a new team member, a prompt for a drawing, or a trivia question, one click gives you a Ghost-type Pokémon to work with.

Each result is the Pokémon's standard form. Regional forms, Mega Evolutions and other alternate forms that change a Pokémon's type are not included, so the list matches what you would find by searching the National Pokédex for Ghost-type Pokémon. If you want any type at all, the Random Pokémon Generator covers the whole National Pokédex, and the generation generators let you stick to a single region.

Ghost Type Strengths and Weaknesses

The Ghost type has been part of the series since the first games in Generation I. Knowing how it matches up against other types is the key to using Ghost-type Pokémon well in battle. These are the current type-chart matchups:

When attacking with Ghost moves

  • Super effective against: Ghost, Psychic
  • Not very effective against: Dark
  • No effect on: Normal

When defending as a Ghost type

  • Weak to: Ghost, Dark
  • Resists: Poison, Bug
  • Immune to: Normal, Fighting

Dual-type Pokémon combine the matchups of both their types, so a Ghost-type Pokémon's second type can cancel out a weakness or double it.

Building a Ghost-Type Team

Covering the weak spots

A team built around Ghost types needs teammates that can take the hits Ghost can't. For each weakness, these types take reduced or no damage:

  • Ghost attacks: resisted by Normal, Dark
  • Dark attacks: resisted by Fighting, Dark, Fairy

Common type pairings

49 of the 65 Ghost-type Pokémon have a second type. The most common partners are:

  • Ghost/Grass: 10 Pokémon
  • Ghost/Fire: 6 Pokémon
  • Ghost/Ground: 5 Pokémon

A second type changes a Pokémon's matchups, so two Ghost types with different partners can need very different teammates.

Ghost-type Pokémon by generation

How many Ghost-type Pokémon each generation introduced:

Gen 1: 3 Gen 2: 1 Gen 3: 6 Gen 4: 8 Gen 5: 9 Gen 6: 8 Gen 7: 8 Gen 8: 9 Gen 9: 13

Tips for battling with Ghost types

Ghost moves hit Ghost, Psychic Pokémon for double damage, so a Ghost-type Pokémon is a strong pick whenever you expect to face those types. Watch out for Normal types, though: Ghost moves have no effect on them at all, so keep a move of another type ready. On defence, Ghost types are completely immune to Normal, Fighting moves, which makes them useful for switching in safely against those attacks. Remember that a Pokémon's own type gives matching moves a 50% power boost, so Ghost types get the most out of Ghost moves.

How to Use the Ghost-Type Pokémon Generator

  • Monotype teams: Roll six times to build an all-Ghost team, then work out how to cover its weaknesses to Ghost, Dark.
  • Type-locked challenge runs: Only catch the Ghost-type Pokémon the generator picks for your next playthrough or Nuzlocke.
  • Trivia & quizzes: Ask friends to name the result's second type, its evolution or the generation it debuted in.
  • Drawing prompts: Sketch the Pokémon you get, or redesign it in a different art style.
  • Gym leader roleplay: Build a themed Ghost-type gym team for a tabletop game or fan story.
