It took me a bit too long to realize what the typo was, lol. I'll fix it soonish.
Oak, gastly is honestly more poison type than ghost type I think.
They're
made of poison gas, so yeah.
This section is several levels of hilarious within the chapter's context of "What the fuck is a ghost?". Amorphous Body Type indeed, poor fella himself can't even tell of their new body is male or female. Misdreavous aren't genderless, which makes the absolute confusion very, very funny.
I'm actually going to copy/paste my response to a similar comment from somewhere else:
I started thinking about things like egg groups and how pokemon biology and breeding would function.
Misdreavus, like the majority of ghost-types, are in the amorphous group.
So I started thinking about what that meant, realistically, and came to the conclusion that most ghosts don't have sexual dimorphism in the way mammals do. Or possibly even at all.
And I'd imagine the others of the more esoteric egg groups(grass, mineral, bug, monster, etc) have strange traits as well. When you think about it, separating many pokemon into simple male/female doesn't make sense
Side note, yes, this means that, barring other factors, many grass types are biologically hermaphroditic, rock types likely reproduce by some sort of fission, and steel types might even print their children.
It's a fantasy world, why bother restricting the weirdness at all?
I think part of the problem here is that ghosts don't seem to have a normal, all true ghosts apparently being the partially-damaged remains of one or more humans/pokemon. Trying to figure out what counts as normal for them is going to vary dramatically based on how intact they are and what they were previously.
Oh hey, someones paying attention, nice.
Agatha dying will no longer free him from having to be afraid of her and her Ghosts. If anyones coming back as a malevolent spirit its her.
lol, she's going to outlive him out of spite, and then not even let death stop her.
Hm that new move of Charlie is most likely night shade
It's Hex, actually. The original name for which is Evil Eye.
And oh boy the number of people glad I didn't have them dance around the obvious fact is gratifying. Seriously, why drag things out like that? it makes zero sense, barring character quirks, to drag out having a conversation for so long that it destroys relationships.

even more because pokemon most of the time never confirm ages just give an around number by comparing with people who have a confirmed age
