Introduced in Generation I, Haunter is a dual-type Ghost/Poison Pokémon, known for its mischievous nature and ability to float through solid objects. Its Pokédex entries often describe it as a dangerous yet playful spirit, capable of licking its victims to steal their life force or paralyze them with its gaseous body. Haunter predominantly inhabits dark, abandoned places like old mansions, caves, and cemeteries, thriving in environments where it can surprise unsuspecting travelers. In the Pokémon games, Haunter is a common sight in areas like Pokémon Tower and Victory Road, offering players a unique challenge with its Ghost typing. Its role in the anime often portrays it as a trickster, best exemplified by the episode where Ash temporarily befriends a Haunter to battle Sabrina's formidable Psychic Pokémon. Culturally, Haunter embodies the classic ghost archetype, blending elements of fear and fascination, making it a memorable and iconic Pokémon from the Kanto region. Its evolution into Gengar, requiring a trade, adds an interesting social dimension to its progression in the games.
