The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Shield

    In the darkness of a new-moon night, Gourgeist will come knocking. Whoever answers the door will be swept off to the afterlife.

  • Sword

    Eerie cries emanate from its body in the dead of night. The sounds are said to be the wails of spirits who are suffering in the afterlife.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    It enwraps its prey in its hairlike arms. It sings joyfully as it observes the suffering of its prey.

  • Omega Ruby

    Singing in eerie voices, they wander town streets on the night of the new moon. Anyone who hears their song is cursed.
