How to get a free Gengar in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Step 1: Catch Pincurchin, an Electric Sea Urchin Pokémon found on most beaches throughout Paldea. You can even find them on the beach near Levincija, where you have to travel for this shop.

Step 2: Once you get Pincurchin, travel to Levincia. You’ll need to find a woman willing to trade her Haunter for a Pincurchin.

Step 3: When you agree to trade and exchange Pokémon, you’ll receive a Haunter (unfortunately nicknamed Hauntikins). As soon as you receive the Haunter and the Pokémon is registered in your Pokédex, it will begin to evolve.

Just don’t push B and accidentally undo evolution!

Let it pass and you’ll have a Gengar on your team.
