Sabrina's Haunter [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Sabrina's Haunter stands out in Gym Challenge as a Stage 1 with free retreat, letting this eerie Psychic-type slip in and out of battle far more easily than many WotC-era evolutions.
Card History
This card echoes Sabrina's anime storyline, where she ultimately befriends a Haunter in the original series after Ash seeks a Ghost Pokémon to challenge her overwhelming psychic power.
In-Game
Its attack choice is a neat bit of cross-generation design, because Nightmare was introduced in the Generation II games and Bulbapedia specifically notes Haunter can learn it there.
Artist
The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, giving the card extra historical appeal since Sugimori is one of Pokémon's original visual architects and his illustrated WotC-era Gym cards are especially beloved by vintage collectors.
Set Lore
As a 1st Edition Gym Challenge card, it comes from the final English Gym-series expansion, a set released only in English that spotlighted crafty Gym Leaders like Sabrina, Koga, Blaine, and Giovanni.
