How to Evolve Haunter in Leaf Green
To evolve Haunter in Leaf Green, you need to trade your Haunter with another player, and it will immediately evolve into Gengar; this is the only way to evolve Haunter into Gengar in the Leaf Green version of the Pokémon games. The trade evolution method requires you to have a trusted friend or another player with either Leaf Green or Fire Red version, as you will need to trade your Haunter and then have it traded back to you to keep your newly evolved Gengar.
Understanding the Evolution Process
The evolution of Haunter into Gengar is a crucial step for any Pokémon trainer aiming to complete their Pokédex or build a strong team. Haunter itself evolves from Gastly at level 25, and the next step in its evolution is into Gengar, but this cannot be achieved through levelling up. Instead, the trade mechanism triggers this evolution, making Gengar accessible only through this method in Leaf Green and similar versions.
