What do the attacks on Haunter 49 cost, and what do they hit for?

Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Haunt1 Energy card

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Haunt puts damage counters on a Pokémon instead of dealing damage to it. The two look alike on the board — one counter is ten damage — but the rules treat them apart: anything that reduces or prevents damage does not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them either.

What does being a Darkness card do for Haunter 49?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

What being a Darkness card is worth

No group in the archive most often prints a Darkness weakness, so this type gains nothing automatic from the weakness rule. Going the other way, Darkness cards are themselves most exposed to Fighting.

Back to summary

What knocks out Haunter 49 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Fighting attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 50 printed damage rather than 100.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,061 cards in the archive that can remove Haunter 49 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 50 printed damage against a bar of 50. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Haunter as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Haunter 49 is one print of Haunter. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Haunter has been printed 32 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Haunter 49 can be?

Haunter evolves from Gastly, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (130 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Haunter print, and can the older ones still be played?

32 prints carry this name in the archive, and 31 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (100 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
  • It cannot start the game in play — Gastly has to be on the field first.

Haunter 49 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Haunter 49?

Haunter 49 has 100 HP and a Fighting weakness at ×2, so a Fighting attack printed at 50 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 100.

What is the retreat cost of Haunter 49?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Does Haunter 49 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Haunter print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 31 prints listed on this page, 6 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Haunter evolve from?

Gastly. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Haunter 49 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play, and it carries regulation mark J. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Haunter 49 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
