Trivia
- A Super Size Gourgeist has a different cry from its other three forms, pitched lower than the cry shared by the other forms.
- Only Average Size and Super Size Gourgeist can have its Hidden Ability Insomnia. Average Size can be obtained as a Pumpkaboo with its Hidden Ability from the Friend Safari; Super Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability as the Spooky 2014 Super Size Pumpkaboo.
Origin
Gourgeist appears to be based on both gourd and modern pumpkin jack-o'-lanterns. Its multiple sizes may possibly be a reference to the variety of sizes pumpkins and gourds come in. Its upper body may also be based on the candles within jack-o'-lanterns themselves, with the curl being its wick and its hair-like extensions its dripping wax. It could also be viewed as a mere extension of the shape and the curl on top being its stem. The lower body's different color might also reference the tradition of decorating gourds with paint.
Name origin
Gourgeist is a combination of gourd and geist.
Pumpjin is a combination of pumpkin and 神 shin (deity, spirit), 人 jin (man), or jinn.
