===Pokédex entries===

Some [[Pokédex]] entries refer to ghosts, spirits, and the souls of the departed.

|-

|-

{{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion is said to purify lost, forsaken souls with its flames and guide them to the afterlife.

|-

Drifloon was formed by the wandering spirits of people and Pokémon.

|-

Spiritomb was formed by a mysterious spell that punished 108 souls and bound it to a stone. Apparently there are some ill-natured spirits in the mix.

|-

Legends suggest that Froslass was formed when the spirit and lingering regrets of a lost woman who died in the snowy mountains possessed an icicle.

|-

Yamask arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. It carries a mask that used to be its face when it was a human.

|-

Hisuian Zorua is a once-departed soul returned to life.

|-

Lampent lurks and wanders through cities, pretending to be a lamp, searching for spirits of the fallen. Once it finds someone whose death is near, it will trail quietly after them, appearing the moment before they die to steal their spirit from their body. The spirits it absorbs fuel its baleful fire.

|-

Phantump was formed when the spirit of a child that perished in a forest possessed a rotten tree stump.

|-

Pumpkaboo's body is inhabited by a spirit trapped in this world. It is said to carry wandering spirits in its body to the place where they belong so they can move on to the afterlife.  

|-

The soul of seaweed adrift in the waves became reborn as Dhelmise.

|-

Sinistea was born when the spirit of someone who died alone possessed a cold, leftover cup of tea.

|-

Basculegion got possessed by the souls of other {{p|Basculin}} from its school that could not withstand the harsh journey upstream.

|-

A soul unable to move on to the afterlife was blown around by the wind until it got tangled up with dried grass and became Bramblin.

==In the spin-off games==

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===

In [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], a ghost appears in one of the random encounters titled "Be Gone!". When the player turns the television on and off repeatedly, the television will show static, and when the player continues doing so, the television will be repaired. After the next training session, the ghost will appear and ask the player and his {{p|Magikarp}} to go away.

==In the anime==

In ''[[SM107|Run, Heroes, Run!]]'', the spirit of [[Sofu]], the grandfather of [[Hapu]] and former [[island kahuna]] of [[Poni Island]], was summoned by {{p|Tapu Fini}} to oversee {{an|Kiawe}}'s [[island challenge|trial]]. After the trial, he observed Kiawe and Ash alongside the ghost of [[Kiawe's grandfather]], before the both of them faded away.

====Pokédex entries====

The spirit of a young girl named {{OBP|Sandy|MPJ}} owned a {{p|Raichu}} in her former life. They were separated when her parents left it in a box by the sea. Sandy and Raichu promised to meet, but before they did, they were both killed by a tidal wave.
