Text; with Action for Olivine
So how important are type advantages when you're going up against gym leaders?
I finally have a bunch of ghosts! But their only other types are Fairy, Flying, and Poison. Is that a good set?
[Sometimes you just need to crowdsource tactics when you want to start on your journey to being the Master of Ghosts. Or anything similar.]
Or does the species of pokemon it is matter even more than its type?
ACTION - OUTSIDE OLIVINE (Early evening)
[Training with ghosts seems to be best at night and just before night! That's why Maya's out with her team— Sensu Oricorio, Gastly, Sinistea, Lycanroc, and watching from nearby, a recently evolved Swellow and her strongest teammate, Mimikyu. She wants to train on type advantages, but there's only one problem.]
C'mon, you guys! I know you don't wanna hurt each other, but we're never gonna get stronger if we don't focus on the tough stuff!
[She tries to encourage her still-young team, hands on her hips, but Gastly, Sinistea, and Oricorio each look at each other apprehensively. From nearby, Mimikyu pipes up with its strange bell-like tone, and Maya responds—]
I know you'd do it, Lumi, but you're too big for these guys! We've got to do our best to catch up to Lumi's level, alright, guys?
[They don't look quite convinced, though...
Maya sighs, hands on her hips.]
I guess... we could keep trying to fight wild Pokemon...
[But perhaps any passing trainers might lend a hand— or even a battle?]
ACTION FOR DANDY - Earlier that day
[Did Dandy think he was going to have an easy day today? TOO BAD. Wherever the poor man is at, Maya bursts in the door suddenly, pointing at him just like her lawyer friends objecting.]
HEY! What do you know about the gym challenge?
[...Lumi is actually in her arms, pointing along with her in tandem. If it weren't so sudden and rude, it might actually be kind of cute.]

it looks like a lot of the poison and psychic type moves they can learn do stuff like that. I guess i'll have to look up more about them!!
[It's a little easier to get by on winging it when you're only up against wild pokemon, after all, so she's slacked off on studying up on this so far.]

Additionally, there are moves which can lower the strength of your opponent, or make your own companion more powerful in one way or another. If you use those moves cleverly, then those can also help even if your opponent is also that type.
It took me a slight while to understand these tactics, but they do a great deal.
