I think they got rid of the ghost/ghost weakness in the 3rd generation, though, since I noticed that ghost moves only did normal damage to ghost types there.
I do recall battling a Dusclops in Emerald, that was highly effected by a Shadow Ball attack that I launched. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I surely thought that ghost type attacks effected other ghost just as greatly as they do Psychic types.

However, that just proves their weakness. Dark types have definitely taken the place of ghost types.

yep, shadow ball is super effective against all the ghost pokemon, which does mean it is ghost/ghost weakness. A bit wierd if you ask me.

Though, Dragons are more valuable assets than ghosts. I would incorporate a dragon onto my team, but not a ghost.

Dragons just take a bit longer, but it pays off. Besides, there's always Rare Candy.

I use EXP. Share if I'm training a dragon, and the Daycare Man. :P

This is mostly in Leaf Green, of course. Though, I do the same for other games. Dragons are an extremely powerful asset.

I don't do EV training while simply playing the game, and following the story. I'm just in it to have fun. Though, if I were doing competive battling and competitions, then things would be different.
Dusclops is all ghost; its not a dual type. I checked the Pokedex.

Its a ghost. Dusclops is classified as a ghost. It is not considered a dual type.
Banette, Shuppet, Misdreavus, and Gastly all had the same result, if that'll help get the point across.

You have your own type chart here.

Oh, Yeah, But it is still part Psychic though.
How is it part psychic? No one has yet to tell me that.

The fact that it can only learn seven psychic attacks doesn't make it psychic or part psychic.

You lazy bum. :P
-Types can have no effect on another (=), double damage (+), or half damage (-). Also note that if a Pokemon is a certain type, and it attacks with the same type of attack, it will inflict one-half extra damage on the opponent (before type confliction).

-Below is a list of types and how they fare against another. Notice that the topic type is the type you are using. Also, if two types will not have any difference in effect, it will not be listed.


Normal [Regular] -Rock, =Ghost, -Steel
Fire [Special] -Fire, -Water, +Grass, +Ice, +Bug, -Rock, -Dragon, +Steel
Water [Special] +Fire, -Water, +Grass, +Ice, +Bug, -Rock, -Dragon
Electric [Special] +Water, -Electric, -Grass, =Ground, +Flying, -Dragon
Grass [Special] ?Fire, +Water, -Grass, -Poison, +Ground, -Flying, -Bug, +Rock, -Dragon, -Steel
Ice [Special] ?Fire, -Water, +Grass, -Ice, +Ground, +Flying, +Dragon, -Steel
Fighting [Regular] +Normal, +Ice, -Poison, -Flying, -Psychic, -Bug, +Rock, -Dragon, -Steel
Poison [Regular] +Grass, -Poison, -Ground, -Rock, -Ghost, =Steel
Ground [Regular] +Fire, +Electric, -Grass, +Poison, =Flying, -Bug, +Rock, +Steel
Flying [Regular] ?Electric, +Grass, +Fighting, +Bug, -Rock, -Steel
Psychic [Special] +Fighting, +Poison, -Psychic, =Dark, -Steel
Bug [Regular] ?Fire, +Grass, -Fighting, -Poison, -Flying, +Psychic, -Ghost, +Dark, -Steel
Rock [Regular] +Fire, +Ice, -Fighting, -Ground, +Flying, +Bug, -Steel
Ghost [Regular] =Normal, +Psychic, +Ghost, -Dark, -Steel
Dragon [Special] +Dragon, -Steel
Dark [Special] +Ghost, -Steel
Steel [Regular] ?Fire, -Water, -Electric, +Ice, +Rock, -Steel
If that's what you meant by type chart.

Affirmative, that is the point. Ghost types are highly effected by ghost and psychic attacks, whereas psychic types aren't even moved by other psychic attacks. If Dusclops were part psychic, then dark types would destroy it, but since it would be part ghost, dark types wouldn't do hardly any damage. To be a ghost and psychic type would literally make it invincible; however, within any Pokedex you find, you'll see that Dusclops in registered as a ghost type - not a dual type.

But Dusclops IS just Ghost type. O O;

Oh and if Dusclops was dual typed with Psychic, then Dark type attacks would simply do its normal damage. Since Ghost types are not affected by Dark much, and Psychic types are highly affected. Lets say, the balancing of the two types will neutralize the damage and produce something even.

Oh by the way Psycho, to clear things up, I think Dusclops is part Psychic.
Oh, Yeah, But it is still part Psychic though.
Okay, then why would you think that it was part psychic? >_>

Your dual type theory does not work out, because the fact that it would have psychic-characteristics would give it the same abilities. Just as Gyarados is a flying/water type, it is highly effected by grass attacks, despite its being part flying. The damage isn't neutralized, its still the same. Another example would be Poliwrath, it's fighting/water, yet it is still highly effected by grass and electirc attacks; fighting types aren't weak against either. Certain dual types can't be made, such as: Water/Fire or Grass/Fire.
