You’d be right about Dragon types not being all that good if most of them didn’t have such varied movesets that helps them deal with their weaknesses. Especially when Dragon types in general usually have high enough attack and special attack to make use of both physical and special attacks.

To be honest, Dragon and Dark type pokemon are not that good. Most Dragons have a double weakness to ice (salamence, dragonite, flygon, garchomp, altaria…) and one of the few who doesn’t has a double weakness to fairy (hydreigon). A good Froslass with ice beam and a Gengar with Dazzling Gleam could do the trick with them.
On the other hand, Dark types have a weakness to fighting and fairy. I already mentioned the Dazzling Gleam Gengar, but I found out that many ghost types can learn good fighting type moves. Just teach Brick Break to a Dusknoir, Dynamic Punch to a No Guard Golurk or Drain Punch/Hammer Arm to a Golurk with Iron Fist (the last one being my personal favorite)
Sooo… yeah, ghost type pokemon have many reasons to be liked by people
@Silent Wing
They can’t be overrated if they are barely noticed. Although not as overlooked as Poison or Ice, ghost is not a type most people flock to.
@Hoopa
I think ghost-types are incredibly overrated. Yeah, they have some strengths and a fair portion of useful moves, but I think Dragon-types and Dark-types are the most useful. Both are overall resistant to many moves and have incredible power when it comes to offense.
Well, I give you that
