How did Brick Break hit Gengar?

Question

I was battling a Gengar and used Brick Break and it hit. Is that because it's part Poison or is it a glitch?

No Miracle Eye, just a mistake.

Why did it hit a ghost type

DrakoRage in future please explain things properly and write in sentences. Don't just type every word that comes into your head and hope it makes sense.

Answer 1

If you used the move Odor Sleuth, Miracle Eye, or Foresight, then your Fighting type attacks can hit Ghost types. Pokemon with the ability Scrappy can also hit Ghost types with Fighting type attacks.

I did not do that though

What Pokemon used Brick Break on Gengar?

---

In that case it was due to Machamp's ability No Guard, although last I checked it couldn't hit immune Pokemon.

---

Foresight is the most plausible explanation; the Machop line learns this by level-up in most generations.

Answer 2

If Machamp used Brick Break then it will hit Gengar, because Machamp's ability No Guard means all moves will hit the opposition regardless of type immunities or move accuracy.

Comments

No Guard does not ignore type immunities.
