Why Normal Attacks Don't Work:
* Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to Normal-type attacks. This means moves like Tackle, Scratch, Growl, and others won't affect them.
How to Defeat Ghost-types:
1. Use Ghost-type or Dark-type attacks: These are the only types that are super effective against Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Ghost-type moves: Shadow Claw, Lick, Shadow Ball, etc.
* Dark-type moves: Bite, Crunch, Foul Play, etc.
2. Find Pokémon with those types: Some Pokémon that can learn these moves in LeafGreen include:
* Ghost: Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Misdreavus
* Dark: Houndour, Houndoom, Murkrow, Sneasel
3. Use other types with advantage: While not super effective, some types can still damage Ghost-types:
* Bug: Pin Missile, X-Scissor
* Poison: Sludge Bomb, Venoshock
* Steel: Iron Head, Flash Cannon
Important Notes:
* Ghost-types are immune to Normal and Fighting-type attacks.
* Ghost-types are weak to Ghost and Dark-type attacks.
* Ghost-types are resistant to Poison, Bug, and Normal-type attacks.
Example:
If you encounter a Gastly, a Ghost-type Pokémon, you could use a Pokémon like Gengar (Ghost-type) with Shadow Ball (Ghost-type move) to defeat it effectively.
Remember to consider the type matchups when choosing your team and moves to maximize your chances of victory against Ghost-type Pokémon!
