Is there a Ghost water type Pokémon? (What is ghost-water type Pokémon weak to?)
Since I started playing Pokémon games in Generation V, Jellicent has always been and is still the silliest 🤪 Pokémon I have ever encountered in Pokémon craze.
However, the Pokémon is unique with its unique ghost-water type combination, and I always found these combinations interesting because a weakness to Ghost and Dark always sucked 🙃 me up.
My friend had not encountered a Pokémon that was ghost-water type and wondered if it was effective in battles due to its weaknesses to Ghost, dark, electric, and grass.
So, let’s look deeper to find out if there is a ghost-water type Pokémon.
How many ghost-water-type Pokémon are there?
There are three dual types of Water-Ghost Pokémon known in the Pokémon franchise. They include Basculegion, Frillish, and Jellicent.
Basculegion is a Water-Ghost Pokémon that evolved from Basculin and was first introduced in Generation Eight in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Frillish is also a Water Ghost that was first introduced in Generation Five. Frillish evolves to Jellicent at level forty.
Jellicent is the third dual-type Water-Ghost Pokémon first introduced in Generation Five and transformed from Frillish to level 40.
However, Pokémon fans claim that Yacuma is a Water-Ghost Legendary Pokémon based on a moon jellyfish.
Others suggest that Blastoise is also a Water-Ghost from the Sea Sage Pokémon species.
