>>57195567Ghost types are living pokemon whose species are created through literal ghosts, but then reproduce normally.E.g. the first Hisuian Zoroark were literally revenants of an extinct subpopulation in ancient Sinnoh. A modern-day Zoroark dying under the right conditions might also result in the same thing. But once formed, they are alive and if a Horoark lays an egg, it hatches into a new individual with its own spirit and all that.
