Are there any Pokemon for which Dark is effective but Ghost is not?
I’ve found that the Dark and Ghost types tend to go together - either you’re weak to both of them, or you’re resistant to both of them. Are there any exceptions?
(I’m looking mostly for Pokemon that are weak to Dark but resistant to Ghost, but you can post Pokemon that have the opposite here just for future reference)

No Pokémon have a weakness to Dark and a resistance to Ghost. But, there are instances where a dual-type will make either Ghost, Dark, or both of them deal normal damage (also, immunity to Ghost if the Normal-type in part of it) on part-Ghost- or part-Psychic-types. Here are these instances:
Immunity to Ghost (Thanks to Normal-type):Normal/Psychicis immune to Ghost; resists Psychic; is weak to Bug and Dark.Normal/Ghostis immune to Normal, Fighting, and Ghost; resists Poison and Bug; is only weak to Dark.
Normal-damage from Dark-type:Fighting/Psychicresists Fighting and Rock; is weak to Flying, Ghost, and Fairy.Dark/Psychicis immune to Psychic; is weak to Bug(4x) and Fairy.Fairy/Psychicis immune to Dragon; resists Fighting(0.25x), and Psychic; is weak to Poison, Ghost, and Steel.Fighting/Ghostis immune to Normal and Fighting; resists Bug(0.25x), Poison, and Rock; is weak to Flying, Psychic, Ghost, and Fairy.Dark/Ghostis immune to Normal, Fighting, and Psychic; resists Poison; is only weak to Fairy.Fairy/Ghostis immune to Normal, Fighting, and Dragon; resists Bug(0.25x); is weak to Ghost and Fairy.
Normal-damage from Ghost-type:Dark/Psychicis immune to Psychic; is weak to Bug(4x) and Fairy.Dark/Ghostis immune to Normal, Fighting, and Psychic; resists Poison; is only weak to Fairy.
You can find this all on theType Chart.
I copied the table in the sourced link into Excel and highlighted all types that had different values in their respective Ghost- and Dark-type columns. I was gonna list all the types, but I saw a pattern arise. If a Pokemon isNormal-, Fighting- or Fairy-typethen they are affected differently to Ghost-types than they are to Dark-types.
So in order to quench your curiosity, look in the Normal-, Fighting- and Fairy-type sections of the defensive side of the table.
Hope I helped. :)Source
