Haunter (Japanese: ゴースト Ghost) is a dual-type Ghost/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Gastly starting at level 25, and evolves into Gengar when traded.
Biology
Physiology
Haunter is a purple, ghost-like Pokémon with a roundish body. Haunter has spikes by the face. It has triangular eyes and a mouth with several sharp, purple teeth. Haunter has a pair of disembodied hands floating in front of it.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Haunter's powers are stronger than a Gastly. With Haunter's newly developed hands, it can now use physical attacks, such as Poison Jab, and the Elemental Punches.
Behavior
Haunter hide in very dark places, where they plot to take the life of the next living thing that comes near. It then silently stalks its victims. It has the ability to float thought solid walls, and many people believe that Haunter is from another dimension because of this ability. It has also been known to entertain people.
Habitat
Haunter live in or near graveyards, and dark, abandoned caves. They can be found primarily at night.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Haunter seem to eat by first paralyzing their opponent with Lick, then draining a bit of their life force.
It is also said to eat people's dreams by going inside them and scaring them to death.
It's possible they may eat other food as well, such things like Pokéblocks.
In the anime
Haunter first appeared in The Tower of Terror. After Ash befriended it, he attempted to use it to battle Sabrina, but Haunter decided to goof off. At the end of Haunter Versus Kadabra, Ash gave the Haunter to Sabrina.
Morty used a Haunter to battle Ash in From Ghost to Ghost.
In Fear Factor Phony, a Haunter was living in an abandoned mine with several other Ghost Pokémon. The Ghost Pokémon were having difficulty with the partying Psychic Pokémon living nearby.
A Haunter appeared in Ghoul Daze!.
Another one appeared in DP123.
In the manga
Agatha used a Haunter as a part of her team in Pokémon Special, as well as a swarm of Haunter in her attack on Kanto.
Eusine was later seen with a Haunter in Template:PSV.
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Ash encounters a gigantic Haunter called the Black Fog, notorious for using its Dream Eater attack to kill people and Pokémon by stealing their souls. In this interpretation, Sabrina has a vendetta against this Haunter, as her Pokémon were attacked and killed by it when she was eleven, but she falls victim as well in her attempt to protect a team of people trying to hunt it down. With the combined effort of Ash and the team of hunters, the Black Fog managed to be weakened enough for capture, only for it to promptly use Selfdestruct, killing itself right before Ash's Hyper Ball reaches it.
