Haunter

Description

Haunter, the Stage 1 evolution of Gastly, appears here with 70 HP, offering a strategic option for players looking to disrupt opposing strategies. The reverse holo finish adds a shimmering visual quality that enhances the card's appeal within the set, making it a favorite among finish enthusiasts. Designed by Yukiko Baba, this card captures the essence of Haunter’s ghostly nature while integrating seamlessly into the Expedition expansion’s aesthetic. The card’s gameplay revolves around status effects, featuring two distinct attacks. PsychicColorless Nightmare deals 20 damage and puts the Defending Pokémon to sleep, while PsychicColorless Dream Eater deals 50 damage if the opponent is already asleep. This mechanic encourages thoughtful deck building, as players must balance the risk of missing with Dream Eater against the consistent, albeit lower, damage of Nightmare. For collectors, the Expedition Base Set holds a special place in the history of Pokémon TCG, representing a transitional era with its unique artwork and thematic consistency. Haunter #80 serves as a solid addition to any set collection, particularly for those focused on completing the full run of uncommon and rare cards. The reverse holo treatment ensures that this card maintains its visual distinctiveness, even as the market continues to evolve. Whether you are aiming to complete the Expedition Base Set or simply appreciate the design of classic Pokémon cards, this release offers a compelling piece of TCG history.
