Gengar was so overpowered in PS2. Certain Normal types are a fair counter, and obviously Dark types.

I thought Normal types weren't strong against anything?

No, but they're completely resistant to Ghost-type attacks. Normal types that can learn Ghost-type moves have an advantage over Ghost-type Pokemon.

Not really. Its special attack is too poor to lay any real damage.
EDIT: Actually, in Generation IV and onward, Raticate is able to learn Crunch, a physical Dark-type move. Before IV though, Raticate's dark moves don't do much damage.

Why are Psychic types weak against Bug types? Being weak against Ghost types makes sense, but I never understood the weakness to Bug types.

That is a strange weakness, but alas, there is an explanation. Psychic Pokemon are special in that their weakness is what they fear. These fears include darkness, ghosts, and bugs. Fear of bugs is a relation to the common human fear of insects. Psychic abilities also require concentration, and insects tend to break that concentration. Ask me anything about type-matchups and I'll explain it to you.
