Pokemon Legends ZA How to Evolve Haunter Guide

Wondering how to evolve Haunter in Pokemon Legends ZA? You don’t need to trade anymore, just one special item that takes care of it instantly.

How to Evolve and Get Haunter in Pokemon Legends ZA

Haunter evolves into Gengar when you use a Linking Cord on it. Open your satchel, select the Linking Cord, and use it directly on Haunter. The evolution happens right away without needing another player. It’s a quick fix for the old trade method and works anywhere, even in the wild.

Where to Get a Linking Cord

Linking Cords can be purchased from the General Store in Lumiose City after progressing through the early missions. They usually cost a few Mega Shards or Poké Dollars depending on your story progress. You can also find them in reward boxes or during some side missions that mention trade evolution items. If you’re low on cash, check the city’s Market Plaza since NPC vendors sometimes sell them at a discount.

Other Pokémon That Use Linking Cord

The same item also works on trade-based Pokémon like Machoke, Kadabra, and Graveler. Each one will evolve immediately once you use the Linking Cord on them. Keep an extra cord in your bag if you plan to fill your Pokédex fast.

Quick Evolution Tips

  • Make sure Haunter isn’t fainted before using the item

  • Save before evolving if you want to capture footage or take screenshots

  • Try using the cord in daylight since Gengar’s purple glow looks cleaner for photos

Final Blurb

Evolving Haunter in Pokemon Legends ZA doesn’t require any trading headaches anymore. Just grab a Linking Cord, pop it on Haunter, and enjoy watching your ghostly pal become a full Gengar. Easy, quick, and no link cables involved.
