How to get Gengar in heartgold

In Generation IV there is a glitch with the GTS that allows Pokémon to evolve by being traded, but without actually trading them. Players must first place a Pokémon that evolves by trading it (with the correct held item, like Metal Coat for Scyther or Electirizer for Electabuzz) onto the GTS. To prevent the deposited Pokémon from being traded away, players should request an impossible trade, such as a level 9 and under Mewtwo.

The player must then search for a Pokémon on the GTS and trade for it. After this has been done, returning to the Pokémon that was placed on the GTS by the player and taking it back will cause it to evolve.

Obviously you're gonna need to do the DNS exploit to reinstate wifi, but i'm not really sure how R4 cards interact with wifi (iirc it depends on the cart but i think there could be workarounds).

Put Haunter on the GTS, do a trade for anything, retrieve Haunter.

...what...Haunter is evolving.

Use the trading board or GTS/glitch.

You need to trade it with someone, it will evolve upon trading. Then trade it back

There are a few other pokemon that evolve this way, such as Machoke into Machamp

re: how do you evlve haunter into gengar

I've always found this to be an annoying mechanic considering I love the pokemon you have to trade to evolve. I feel that this, as well as the boosted exp, are just gimmicks to get people to use the trading system that some Japanese coder was very proud of. It has gotten better considering that there is online trading now.

Can you evolve Haunter in HeartGold?

Haunter evolves into Gengar when it is traded, so you'll need someone that you can trade with that you trust will trade it back to you. ... Catch or trade for a Haunter or Gastly..

Can you evolve Haunter without trading?

You no longer need to trade to evolve Haunter! (Or any previous trade evolve pokemon) : r/pokemon.

How do you get Gengar pokémon without trading?

No, there isn't a way to evolve Haunter into Gengar without trading.

How do you evolve trade pokémon in HeartGold?

You cannot evolve trade evolutions without trading. For HeartGold and other older games, that means you need two systems and another copy of the game. Now, it could be any other game from that generation. HeartGold can trade with Diamond and Pearl (and Platinum), so any Gen 4 game will do, but you need two.
