Rock/Ghost strategy: theoretical dual immunity with six weaknesses
Rock/Ghost and Ghost/Rock are the same defensive pairing; this page uses rock-ghost as the canonical URL. Rock/Ghost is a theoretical pairing that would block Normal and Fighting while threatening Flying, Fire, Ice, Bug, Ghost, and Psychic targets. There are no established Pokémon with this exact Rock/Ghost typing. The standard type chart gives this combination no 4× weakness and 2× weak to Water, Grass, Ground, Ghost, Dark, Steel. It is immune to Normal, Fighting. Its main defensive value comes from ¼× resists Poison; ½× resists Fire, Flying, Bug, but stats, ability, item, and format still decide whether a real Pokémon can use those entries repeatedly.
Offensive plan
Rock STAB threatens Flying, Fire, Ice, and Bug targets, while Ghost STAB pressures Ghost and Psychic targets. Water, Grass, Ground, Ghost, Dark, and Steel all hit for 2×. The page covers the combination itself; there are no established Pokemon with this exact typing.
Counterplay and defensive risks
To counter Rock/Ghost, start with the chart pressure: Water, Grass, Ground, Ghost, Dark, Steel. If a 4× weakness is listed, preserve that attack type before revealing it; if there is no 4× weakness, repeated 2× pressure and hazard chip usually matter more than a single surprise hit. Scout for abilities, Terastallization, weather, recovery, and pivot moves before assuming the visible multiplier ends the exchange.
Team-building advice
Rock/Ghost needs Water, Grass, Ground, Ghost, Dark, and Steel answers. Fairy, Dark, Water, Grass, and Steel partners can cover different parts of that spread. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Water, Grass problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
