HaunterChilling Reign #56 Pokémon Card

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 sometimes sinister nature, often depicted floating through dark places, playing pranks, and even attempting to lick its victims, which can paralyze them. Its ethereal form and disembodied hands are iconic, making it a fan-favorite Ghost-type. In the anime, Ash's Haunter famously helped him defeat Sabrina, the Saffron City Gym Leader, with its playful antics rather than direct combat. Haunter's unique type combination gives it resistances to Grass, Poison, Bug, and Fairy types, while being weak to Psychic, Ground, Ghost, and Dark attacks. Its ability to pass through walls and absorb life energy adds to its intriguing lore, cementing its place as a classic Pokémon that embodies the spooky and mysterious aspects of the series.
