Is suspectable to fire, water, etc...so much for being ethereal, these are physical forces so obviously being classed as a ghost pokemon has little to do with anything, psychic simply does more damage than usual in gameplay.
in the Pokeverse those are considered elemental/energy attacks. A glacier falling on Ghastly will do nothing, but an icebeam from Dewgong will.

Kain has no way of defending himself from MewTwo, who can TK his freaking mist form, disable him, tear him apart, strike him down with a shadow ball, disperse him, turn him to stone, paralyze him, put him to sleep, ect.
Has Disable worked on anything outside of Pokemon?
