Haunter (Japanese: ゴースト Ghost) is a dual-type Ghost/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Gastly starting at level 25 and evolves into Gengar when traded or when exposed to a Linking Cord.
(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)
Biology
Haunter is a purple Pokémon with a gaseous body. It has a round head flanked by three large, spiked protrusions on either side. It has triangular eyes with small pupils and a mouth with a long, pink tongue. The gases composing its head curve into its mouth to form several pointed teeth. Disembodied hands with three clawed fingers each float in front of its body. Its body tapers into a jagged tail. Haunter's gaseous form makes it one of the lightest Pokémon in existence.
Haunter hides in very dark places, such as caves, and is afraid of light. If a human or a Pokémon comes near Haunter, it will stalk the victim while floating and beckon it to come closer. Once approached it will then lick the victim with its gaseous tongue, inflicting convulsions in the victim that last until death. It can also float through walls. It has been shown in the anime that it can control its hands from far away and can control any Pokémon that it touches with its hands. In the anime, Haunter have been depicted as being able to create illusions, pull out spirits from an individual’s body, and even remove its own eyes from its face. Despite its predatory nature, it has been known to entertain and prank people in the anime. Additionally, it has even been shown to feel intense loyalty to a deceased Trainer. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Haunter is known to sleep while floating.[1]A sleeping Haunter will steal the lifeforce of anyone who comes near using its gaseous tounge.
In Generation I, Night Shade was its signature move.
Evolution
Haunter evolves from Gastly and evolves into Gengar.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Haunter's prototype name was "Spectre".
- Page 19 of the Pokémon Trainer's Survival Guide erroneously references Haunter by this name.
- Despite all of them being Poison-type Pokémon, Haunter and its evolutionary family were not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up prior to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
- Haunter is the Pokémon with the most cry changes throughout the core series games, having been changed in Generations II, III, and VI.
- Haunter's Generation I artworks and Generation III sprites depict Haunter with three fingers and one thumb. However, many of Haunter's depiction in other mediums, including the original series of the anime, has always depicted it with two fingers and a thumb.
- Haunter and Gastly are the lightest Poison-type Pokémon. They are also tied with Roaming Form Gimmighoul for the lightest Ghost-type Pokémon.
- Haunter is the only Pokémon that weighs exactly the same as its pre-evolution.
- Haunter is the only Ghost-type Pokémon featured in Pokémon Snap.
- Haunter's Japanese name, ゴースト Ghost, is exactly the same as the Japanese name for the Ghost type.
Origin
Haunter appears to be based on a generic sort of cartoonish ghost. Like Gengar, Haunter may also be based on the Cheshire Cat, as it possesses what may be pointed ears; a large, toothy grin; and the ability to vanish at will. While many Japanese yōkai - ghosts and ghouls - are depicted with long tongues, Haunter's vampiric licking may have come specifically from the Dila, a Philippine spirit that licked the life energy of sick people until they died.
Name origin
Haunter may be derived from haunt and the agentive suffix -er or possibly hunter.
Ghost is literally ghost.
