## Best types to use against Psychic/Ghost

To beat a Psychic/Ghost Pokémon, use Ghost and Dark moves: they deal 4× damage. Do not waste turns on Normal (0×), Fighting (0×), Poison (½×) and Psychic (½×).

Psychic/Ghost and Ghost/Psychic are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Ghost/Psychic search lands on this page too.

Going the other way, Psychic and Ghost moves between them hit Fighting, Poison, Psychic and Ghost super effectively, but Dark takes reduced or no damage from both.

4 Pokémon have the Psychic/Ghost typing: 2 species and 2 alternate forms, first appearing in Generation 6 and spanning 3 generations to Generation 8.

The highest base stat total is Lunala with 680; the average across the group is 660.
