[Scripting Question] [version Eighteen] How would I make a move super-effective on a certain type, i.e. Ghost or Electric?

How would I make a move super-effective on a certain type, like Ghost or Electric? This is important because I want to do this for two special moves exclusive to a post-purification Shadow Alolan Marowak in my game.

Never mind, this should work, right?

return (PBTypeEffectiveness::NORMAL_EFFECTIVE * 2) if isConst?(move,PBMoves,:SPIRITBURNER) &&
       target.pbHasType?(:GHOST)
    return (PBTypeEffectiveness::NORMAL_EFFECTIVE * 2) if isConst?(move,PBMoves,:GRAVEDIGGER) &&
       target.pbHasType?(:ELECTRIC)

I assume you can just make new move effects akin to Freeze-Dry. As Freeze-dry already uses the "super effective vs a certain type."

#===============================================================================
# Freezes the target. Effectiveness against Water-type is 2x. (Freeze-Dry)
#===============================================================================
class PokeBattle_Move_135 < PokeBattle_FreezeMove
  def pbCalcTypeModSingle(moveType,defType,user,target)
    return PBTypeEffectiveness::SUPER_EFFECTIVE_ONE if isConst?(defType,PBTypes,:WATER)
    return super
  end
end

You can probably just copy freeze-dry's effect and change it to the type you want the move to be super effective against and then add them as move effects for your moves. :D This is for v18.

Thanks, I honestly forgot Freeze-Dry was a move until now. This is a big help and solves the issue I had with the previous attempt.
