Why did Facade & Giga Impact hit Ghost Types?

Jul. 11, 2017



I was playing Battle Royale when a Slaking used Giga Impact on Mow Rotom, and it knocked it out!Also in the Battle Tree a Marowak used Facade on a Dhelmise.

These moves were Normal Type moves and and the Pokemon were Ghost Types. Normal Type moves aren’t supposed to effect Ghost Pokemon and vice versa so why did the attacks hit?

Note: The Marowak was non Alolan and had a burn if that helps. Also it was holding a Red Card and I was in Multi Battle with a NPC.

They must have used the items or moves that allow moves that woudn’t have any effect to be effective, moves like foresight and items, such as Ring target for example.The game rarely shows problems with such effects, this could also be a very extremely rare ocasion in wich a mistake could happen, (not the most likely) or you could make mistake and didn’t notice a very important item or move being used.

(Also for rotom, he could be in the one of his alternative form that doesn’t have the ghost type)
