Yes. It has excellent coverage with ghost, and uses Haunter/Gengar’s higher attacking stat.

What level does Haunter evolve in platinum?

Houndour evolves into Houndoom at Level 24. If you are talking about Haunter the ghost Pokemon with the pre-evolution ghastly – then it will turn into Genga once it has been traded. I suggest you only trade with someone you can trust. No it evolves at level 25 but it may depend on the type of game your playing.

Assurance does double damage if the Opponent took damage the same turn, like if your team mate in a double battle hit the opponent before you did. Payback does double damage if the User was attacked first. Defiantly give Umbreon Payback. Curse+Payback on Umbreon is an amazing combo that is frequently used.
