How To Evolve Haunter Into Gengar in Pokemon Legends Z-A

In Pokemon Legends Z-A, evolving your Haunter into a powerful Gengar requires a specific process involving link trading. This guide will walk you through each step to ensure you successfully complete the evolution and avoid common trading pitfalls.

Getting Haunter: The First Evolution

Before you can evolve Haunter into Gengar, you’ll need to have a Haunter in your team. Gastly will naturally evolve into Haunter once it reaches level 25. Make sure your Gastly has leveled up to this point before proceeding with the trading process.

Initiating a Link Trade

Once you have your Haunter, navigate to the main menu and select Link Play, then choose Link Trade. From the options that appear, select Far Away Players to search for trading partners globally.

Entering the Trade Code

When the input box appears, you’ll need to enter the specific trade code for Haunter. Type in the following code exactly:

0, 0, 6, 6, 0, 0, 0, 6, 6

This code corresponds to Haunter’s Pokedex number (000666) and signals to other players that you’re looking to trade a Haunter. Press OK to begin searching for compatible trading partners.

Finding a Trading Partner

The system will search for other players who have entered the same trade code. Typically, you’ll find a match almost immediately. Once a partner is found, you’ll see their offer on the screen.

Offering Your Haunter

Select your Haunter and choose the option to offer it up for trade. Wait for your trading partner to present their offer in return. This is where you need to be cautious.

Avoiding Trading Scams

Important: Be careful during the trade confirmation screen. Some players may attempt to trick you by offering a different Pokemon instead of a Haunter. In the example shown, a player tried to trade a Bergmite instead of a Haunter—this is not what you want.

If you notice the trading partner is offering anything other than a Haunter, cancel the trade immediately. Return to Link Trade, select Far Away Players again, and re-enter the code 0, 0, 0, 6, 6, 0, 0, 6, 6 to find a legitimate trading partner.

Completing the Trade

Assuming your trading partner offers a legitimate Haunter in return, proceed with the trade. Once the exchange is complete and you exit the trade menu, your Haunter will automatically and immediately evolve into a Gengar.

Confirming Your Gengar

Your newly evolved Gengar will now appear in your party with the trade evolution applied. You can verify the evolution was successful by checking your team roster. The Pokedex number for Gengar is 000667.

Summary

Evolving Haunter into Gengar in Pokemon Legends Z-A is straightforward once you understand the link trading system. Remember to reach level 25 with your Gastly first, use the correct trade code (0, 0, 6, 6, 0, 0, 0, 6, 6), and stay alert for players attempting to scam you with incorrect Pokemon. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a powerful Gengar ready for battle in no time.
