5 facts about this card
Card History
Haunter #29 is part of the original English Base Set, the expansion that launched the Pokémon TCG era for many collectors and made even uncommons like this one feel foundational to the hobby.
Set Lore
The 1st Edition stamp ties this Haunter to the earliest English print run of Base Set, giving it extra historical weight as one of the first Pokémon cards many fans chased in 1999.
In-Game
This card’s flavor text comes straight from Haunter’s Pokédex lore in Pokémon Red and Blue, where its ability to pass through walls helped define its eerie identity from the very beginning.
Card History
Haunter’s Hypnosis into Dream Eater combo mirrors the classic sleep-based strategy from the video games, making the card feel like a direct translation of Haunter’s battle style into the early TCG.
Artist
The artwork is by Keiji Kinebuchi, one of the foundational early TCG illustrators whose work appears across the original era and helps give Base Set cards their unmistakable vintage look.
