All Shiny Ghost Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet

Shiny Ghost Pokémon are as elusive and mysterious as their regular counterparts, but with a distinct sparkle that sets them apart. Chance encounters and hatching eggs can lead you to them, but the chances of encountering a Shiny during regular gaming are relatively low—especially the spooky variant, which usually only roams around at night.

If you’re looking to boost your Pokémon Scarlet and Violet collection, this guide lists all the Shiny Ghost Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet.

Much like its pre-evolution Shiny Haunter, Shiny Gengar’s color difference is barely noticeable compared to its regular version.
