CARDEX BACKGROUND
About the species
Haunter prefers darkness, where it can approach unseen. It sometimes lures a person towards it, then extends its gaseous tongue to steal their life energy. Pokédex entries warn that its icy lick can leave its victim weakened for a long time. Its fondness for night has an unexpected consequence, however: it is said to have become rare in large cities that are constantly lit. Human lighting therefore changes even its hunting grounds.
This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon Moon attributes Haunter’s increasing rarity in large cities to their permanent lighting. Pokémon X gives a more subtle clue to its presence: the feeling of being watched in the dark. The first detail describes its environment, the second how it might be noticed.
