Haunter 6/62 · Fossil

Haunter is Pokédex #093, generation 1 (Kanto). Haunter is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 50 HP. The card lists level 17. The card says it evolves from Gastly. In this catalog that name is Gastly (#092). The card lists Gengar, Gengar (#094) under evolves to.

Haunter sits at 6/62 in Fossil, position 6 of 62. Before it is 5 Gengar, and after it is 7 Hitmonlee. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on October 10, 1999. The printed size is 62, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Transparency is listed as Pokémon Power. Whenever an attack does anything to Haunter, flip a coin. If heads, prevent all effects of that attack, including damage, done to Haunter. This power stops working while Haunter is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Nightmare lists 10 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep. Resistance is Fighting -30. The flavor text reads "Because of its ability to slip through block walls, it is said to be from another dimension."

Haunter (#093) has 30 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 29 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Haunter 29/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 50 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 26 other cards of Haunter list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Fossil set binder is where a full Fossil set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Haunter can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Gengar and the Gastly line. I still need this card.
