If Hi[gh]-Jump Kick is used on a ghost type, what happens?

Question

When a move is used on a Pokemon with an immunity it "has no effect", but it doesn't miss. However, logically, the reason ghosts have an immunity to normal and fighting is because those moves (as seen in the anime) would go through them. So if High Jump Kick is used on a ghost-type, does the user take damage?

Answer 1

Yes the user takes damage if they use hi jump kick on a ghost type.
