What it does
If Haunter is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if Haunter is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned.
Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
It likes to lurk in the dark and tap shoulders with a gaseous hand. Its touch causes endless shuddering.

Where it came from
The Haunter card from the Arceus expansion was released in 2009 as part of the overarching Platinum series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to spotlight the Mythical Pokémon Arceus, integrating a unique mechanic where players could utilize different types of Arceus cards to build versatile decks. The set served as a bridge between the earlier Diamond and Pearl eras and the upcoming HeartGold and SoulSilver releases, maintaining the tactical depth that characterized the late 2000s competitive meta.
The artwork for this specific card features Haunter rendered in the classic, slightly eerie aesthetic that defined the Ghost-type cards of this generation. Illustrators during this period often emphasized the playful yet mischievous nature of Haunter, using dynamic poses and moody color palettes to reflect its status as a core Psychic-type staple. As an uncommon card, it was a standard inclusion for players looking to balance their evolution lines during the Platinum-Arceus rotation, valued more for its utility in gameplay than for rare visual flourishes.
