Provenance

Where it came from

Released in early 2000, Base Set 2 was designed by Wizards of the Coast to address the dwindling availability of the original Base Set and Jungle expansion cards. This set functioned as a compilation, gathering popular Pokémon from the early days of the Trading Card Game into a single, re-released collection to ensure that newcomers to the hobby could still access fundamental cards for gameplay and deck building.

The Haunter card features the iconic artwork of Ken Sugimori, whose minimalist and direct illustrative style defined the aesthetic of the early generations of Pokémon. As a psychic-type uncommon card, this rendition of Haunter was intended to balance the gameplay mechanics of the set, offering players a mid-tier ghostly threat that utilized the familiar, eerie visual language established in the very first Pokémon releases.
