'''Haunter''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: ゴースト ''Ghost'') is a {{2t|Ghost|Poison}}-type Pokémon.

=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. Thanks to Haunter's newly developed hands, it can now use physical attacks, such as {{m|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.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Cave.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Haunter live in or near graveyards, and dark, abandoned caves. They can be found primarily at night.

==Diet==
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Haunter seem to eat by first paralyzing their opponent with {{m|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=
[[Image:Ash_Haunter.jpg|thumb|right|Ash and the Haunter he temporarily owned.]]
[[Sabrina's Haunter|Haunter]] first appeared in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. After [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] befriended it, he attempted to use it to battle [[Sabrina]], but Haunter decided to goof off. At the end of [[EP024|''Haunter Versus Kadabra]]'', Ash gave the Haunter to Sabrina.

[[Morty]] used a Haunter to battle Ash in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''.

In ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', a Haunter was living in an abandoned mine with several other Ghost Pokémon. The {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon were having difficulty with the partying {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon living nearby.

=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 {{PSV|14}}.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash encounters a gigantic Haunter called the Black Fog, notorious for using its {{m|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 {{m|Selfdestruct}}, killing itself.

=Trivia=
*The prototype name of Haunter was "Spectre".
*Haunter and its pre-evolution {{p|Gastly}} are the lightest Pokémon in existence.
*Haunter and {{p|Muk}} are the only two Pokémon who don't change weight during evolution.
*While it is over five feet in the games, it is only about three feet in the anime.
*It is very dark, to a near-black, in the first two generations, while it is a lighter shade of purple in the third and fourth generations.
==Origin==
It appears to be based on a generic sort of cartoonish ghost.
===Name origin===
Haunter's name origin simply means it is one who haunts, as [[wp:ghost|ghost]]s are known to do. Its Japanese name is just ''Ghost''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Alpollo
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Spectrum - This is from ''spectre''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 고우스트 ''Gouseuteu''

Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.

[[Sabrina's Haunter|Haunter]] first appeared in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. After [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] befriended it, he attempted to use it to battle [[Sabrina]], but Haunter decided to goof off. At the end of [[EP024|''Haunter Versus Kadabra]]'', Ash gave the Haunter to Sabrina.

[[Morty]] used a Haunter to battle Ash in ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]''.

In ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', a Haunter was living in an abandoned mine with several other Ghost Pokémon. The {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon were having difficulty with the partying {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon living nearby.

=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 {{PSV|14}}.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash encounters a gigantic Haunter called the Black Fog, notorious for using its {{m|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 {{m|Selfdestruct}}, killing itself.

=Trivia=
*The prototype name of Haunter was "Spectre".
*Haunter and its pre-evolution {{p|Gastly}} are the lightest Pokémon in existence.
*Haunter and {{p|Muk}} are the only two Pokémon who don't change weight during evolution.
*While it is over five feet in the games, it is only about three feet in the anime.
*It is very dark, to a near-black, in the first two generations, while it is a lighter shade of purple in the third and fourth generations.
==Origin==
It appears to be based on a generic sort of cartoonish ghost.
===Name origin===
Haunter's name origin simply means it is one who haunts, as [[wp:ghost|ghost]]s are known to do. Its Japanese name is just ''Ghost''.

==In other languages==

=Trivia=
*The prototype name of Haunter was "Spectre".
*Haunter and its pre-evolution {{p|Gastly}} are the lightest Pokémon in existence.
*Haunter and {{p|Muk}} are the only two Pokémon who don't change weight during evolution.
*While it is over five feet in the games, it is only about three feet in the anime.
*It is very dark, to a near-black, in the first two generations, while it is a lighter shade of purple in the third and fourth generations.
==Origin==
It appears to be based on a generic sort of cartoonish ghost.
===Name origin===
Haunter's name origin simply means it is one who haunts, as [[wp:ghost|ghost]]s are known to do. Its Japanese name is just ''Ghost''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Alpollo
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Spectrum - This is from ''spectre''.

'''Cubone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: カラカラ ''Karakara'') is a {{t|Ground}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Cubone appears to be a small brown dinosaur-like Pokémon, that constantly wears a skull (supposedly the skull of its mother) like a helmet, which masks its true face from view. It carries another bone, which it uses to attack with moves like {{m|Bone Club}}.

===Gender differences===
None.

===Special abilities===

It has the ability to wield its bone as an effective weapon, or throw it in the same manner as a [[Bonemerang (move)|boomerang]].

==Behavior==
It is constantly lonely, for one reason or another, and moans plaintively. It dislikes keeping company or making new friends.
==Habitat==
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Cubone prefer to live in dark caves.

Because of where they appear in RBY, they may be capturable as ghosts, and if in this form, they take residence in [[Pokémon Tower]].

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Image:Cubone anime.gif|right|thumb|A sad Cubone with [[Giselle|its trainer]].]]
Cubone first appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' under the ownership of [[Giselle]]. She used Cubone against [[Ash's Pikachu]].

Cubone also appeared in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'' as an injured Pokémon.

A Cubone was among the four Pokémon that were causing trouble for {{p|Pikachu}} and co. during ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]''.

A Cubone was helping [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]] preparing his party in [[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]. This Cubone played drums in Meowth's band and got easily sad and gloomy when Meowth chewed it out, but it was also easily consolable.

=In the manga=
==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Cubone makes a cameo in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', part of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, battling against {{Special|Red}}'s Bulbasaur as a [[Pewter Gym]] trainer's Pokémon.

{{Special|Crystal}} owns a Cubone, who has a star-shaped crack in its skull. Cubone's main role in the team is to take out targets from afar using its bone-based attacks.

=In the TCG=
{{main|Cubone (TCG)}}

=Other Appearances=

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
*In the [[Pokémon Stadiums (Smash Bros. stages)|Pokémon Stadium 2]] stage, a Cubone can be seen on the {{t|Ground}} Terrain standing atop the highest platform built into a rock. {{p|Dugtrio}} & Pokémon fossils can also on the Ground Terrain.

=Trivia=
Cubone's name for English audiences was originally going to be "Orphon", which is a referce on how it's orphaned at birth.

Cubone is known to wear the skull of it's mother, but mathmatically, this is impossible unless cubone mother's have multiple, removable skulls.
==Origin==
===Name origin===
Cubone's name might be a combination of ''cute'' and ''bone'', or possibly ''cub'' and ''bone'', or "cue", referring to a [[wp:snooker|snooker cue]], and "bone". ''Karakara'' may be taken to mean からから, clattering. It is worth noting that ''karakara'' denotes lighter clattering than ''[[Marowak (Pokémon)|garagara]]''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Tragosso - A combination of the word ''tragen'', to carry or wear, or ''tragisch'', which means "dramatically," and ''oss,'' a form of the Latin word for bone.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Osselait - ''Osselet'' means small bone. ''Lait'' means milk, referring to the young age and need for a mother.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 탕구리 ''Tangguri''
