Dual-type attack strength
The chart to the right shows the strengths and weaknesses of the Ghost type on every possible type combination. The bottom row shows its strength against single-type pokemon.
The numbers in the squares show the fraction of normal damage the move will do (i.e. ½ means 50% damage, while 4 means 400%).
For example, to find how good a Ghost-type move is against a Grass/Poison Pokémon, find the square that cross-references those types. You will see that it is 100%.
