What Pokemon Can Beat Ghost Types in Pokemon Go?

Strong Dark-type Pokemon you can use again Ghost-types are Mega Houndoom, Mega Gyarados, Tyranitar, Darkrai, Weavile, and so on.
The runner-ups for the best type to use to fight against Ghost-type Pokemon are Normal-types and Ghost-types themselves. Normal-type Pokemon are immune to all Ghost moves, and can hit Ghost-types with the large coverage that Normal-types generally have. Some great Normal-types you can use are Mega Lopunny, Regigigas, Porygon Z, Meloetta (both forms), and so on.

The best Ghost-types you can use are Mega Gengar, Giratina, Hoopa (Confined), Chandelure, Banette, and so on.
