Haunter
Oracle Text
Attack Nightmare (20): Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Asleep.
Attack Spooky Shot (40)
Card Details
Character Background
Haunter from Base Set is a classic tempo-control piece that turns a simple status condition into real pressure. As a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon, it fits naturally into decks that want to slow the opponent down, disrupt their attack timing, and then punish them with efficient damage. Hypnosis is the key setup: putting the Defending Pokémon to Sleep can buy you a turn, force awkward retreat decisions, or enable a clean follow-up Dream Eater for 50 damage, which is especially strong in an era where that amount can swing prized exchanges. The best deckbuilding tip is to pair Haunter with reliable sleep support or ways to keep the opponent stuck Active, such as gust effects or retreat denial, so Dream Eater stays online. Thematically, Haunter’s sneaky, haunting presence mirrors its gameplay perfectly: it doesn’t overpower foes immediately, but it creates just enough dread and disruption to control the pace of the match.
