Card 124

Haunter, the Gas Pokémon, is a Ghost/Poison-type from the first generation introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue. It is the evolved form of Gastly and evolves into Gengar when traded. Haunter is known for its mischievous and somewhat eerie nature, often depicted as a floating, disembodied head with hands, lurking in the shadows. Its Pokédex entries consistently describe it as a playful yet dangerous Pokémon that enjoys scaring people and can drain their life force. In the anime, Haunter famously befriended Ash and helped him defeat Sabrina, the Saffron City Gym Leader, with its comedic antics. Its presence in the games often involves haunted towers and spooky mansions, solidifying its role as a classic spectral encounter. Haunter's design, with its sharp fangs and glowing eyes, perfectly encapsulates the spooky charm of the Ghost type, making it a fan favorite and a staple in many Pokémon teams, particularly for those who appreciate its unique blend of humor and menace.
