Haunter (Japanese: ゴースト Gousuto) is a Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

This Pokémon takes the shape of a sinister looking, angular floating face with fangs, and it has disembodied, clawed hands. When approached by people, it has a habit of reverting to a spherical form that obscures its eyes, mouth, and hands. Haunter also likes to transform into solid things just to scare people. If you are sleeping or unconscious, Haunter can grab you and turn you into a ghost. But will return you into your body shortly afterwards. It can sap the life-force from a target by licking it. If it chooses to do so the victim will not stop shaking until it dies. Although it can lick other organisms without killing them.

Special abilities

Haunter can have the ability Levitate, which cause all Ground-type moves to miss. It licks with its gaseous tongue, so getting close is dangerous. Because of its ability to slip through solid walls, it is thought to be from another realm. It enjoys scaring people and revealing horrible nightmares of their worst fears to them while taking pleasure in it. It is also thought to steal the souls of those who envy, so it is highly recommended that you keep your distance.

Evolution

Haunter is the evolved form of Gastly, evolving at level 25. Haunter evolves into Gengar by trade, Gengar can then Mega Evolve into Mega Gengar using Gengarite. Alternatively, Haunter has an anime/manga exclusive evolution called Black Fog.
