Hopefully, your innocent, Pokémon-loving child is also the only one out of their school friends that plays Pokémon; otherwise, they'd probably accidentally trade their Pumpkaboo and evolve it into this thing. Gourgeist is not what I'd call a pillar of respect. It might not look all bad, what with the smiling expression on its rather bland face, but that angry-looking pumpkin that forms Gourgeist's body is proof that it is not out to join you in your Halloween festivities. As a matter of fact, Gourgeist revels in the idea of you suffering. This is not confined to causing annoyance on the battlefield, where Gourgeist-XL can be a somewhat viable physical wall when playing the lower tiers of competitive Pokémon. According to the Pokédex, Gourgeist loves to sing. Unfortunately, this song curses whoever hears it, so before you go out on Halloween night in what is likely cringeworthy, half-assed garb, you should consider integrating earmuffs into your costume. Who would have thought that even fruits could show sadistic tendencies?

Unfortunately, this was written before the many ghosting fiascos occurring in Smogon's underground came to light, so I did not mention Gourgeist's Norse roots. Clearly, I must be a snivelling clown of a user.
