What Players Need to Know

You do you.) Because Ghost-types are the Best-types, they're featured throughout the collection. (And because it's Halloween merch.) Gengar gets the spotlight on a knit cardigan, T-shirt, sleepwear, and a robe.

Additional Context

Some of the Pokémon Halloween collection's highlights are the Cubone, Mimikyu, Espeon, and Umbreon yard statues. Your cumbersome, towering skeletons can now be replaced by Pokémon to haunt your lawn.

Finally, you can live in Pokémon Tower like you always wanted. Maybe Marowak's ghost will swing by for a fright.

Those yard statues are just over a foot tall, meaning they'll be easier to store for the 11 non-spooky months out of the year. (Unless you're the type to leave your 12-foot-tall skeleton up year round.
