Haunter (21/62) from the Pokémon Fossil set is a hauntingly collectible card that brings a ghostly presence to any Pokémon TCG collection. As a Stage 1 Psychic-type Pokémon, Haunter evolves from Gastly and stands out with its eerie purple silhouette and mischievous grin. First released in 1999 as part of the third expansion to the original Pokémon Trading Card Game, the Fossil set introduced fans to prehistoric creatures and rare holographic cards, making Haunter a sought-after piece for both gameplay and nostalgia. This raw, ungraded card retains its original charm, perfect for collectors who appreciate vintage Pokémon memorabilia in its authentic state.

One of Haunter’s most intriguing features is its Pokémon Power: Transparency. This ability allows Haunter to flip a coin whenever an attack targets it—on heads, it prevents all effects, including damage, as long as it isn’t Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Paired with its Nightmare attack, which deals 10 damage and puts the defending Pokémon to sleep, Haunter offers both defensive resilience and strategic disruption. With 50 HP and no retreat cost, it can linger on the battlefield, creating a persistent threat to opponents. Though not the most powerful card by modern standards, its vintage appeal and unique mechanics make it a fan favorite.

As a Rare Holo card in the 62-card Fossil set, Haunter (21/62) was one of the early holographic Pokémon cards, featuring a shimmering, starry foil pattern that catches the light with a classic 90s charm. The artwork, illustrated by Ken Sugimori, captures Haunter’s ghostly essence in vivid detail, making it a standout visually. Whether you're completing a retro deck, trading with fellow collectors, or preserving a piece of Pokémon history, this raw Fossil set Haunter is a nostalgic treasure from the golden age of the TCG.
