Ghost-type Pokemon are quite useful in a myriad of situations, but finding good Ghost types is not an easy task. Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar are some of the most popular Pokemon to obtain, but players first need to know how they can evolve the Pokemon all the way up to Gengar. So, here's everything you need to know.

Where To Find Gastly & How To Evolve Into Haunter

Before you take the steps to evolve Haunter into Gengar, players will first need to catch a Gastly. Once you find a Gastly, you can simply keep battling with it or use some candies to level it up. Once it reaches level 25, it will evolve into Haunter. If you are looking for a Gastly, you can find one at the following locations:

Area	Location
Crimson Mirelands	Golden Lowlands, Gapejaw Bog, Scarlet Bog, Shrouded Ruins
Coronet Highlands	Bolderoll Ravine, Sacred Plaza, Celestica Ruins
Alabaster Icelands	Bonechill Wastes

Where To Find Haunter & How To Evolve Into Gengar

If you find leveling up to level 25 a bit too much, thankfully, there are other alternatives. You can just catch a Haunter directly, and it is not too difficult to find one. Here are the Haunter locations in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Area	Location
Crimson Mirelands	Gapejaw Bog, Scarlet Bog, Shrouded Ruins, Cottonsedge Prairie
Coronet Highlands	Bolderoll Ravine, Sacred Plaza, Celestica Ruins
Alabaster Icelands	Bonechill Wastes

Once you've got your hands on Haunter, the process of evolving it into Gengar is simple. Grab a friend and trade Haunter for one of their other Pokemon, at this point, the evolution process will begin. Of course, we recommend trading with a friend you can trust because you'll need to trade the Pokemon back once more to get your Gengar back.
