In [[Generation I]] and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, before getting a [[Silph Scope]], several unidentified ghosts (in reality {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Cubone}}) appear in the Pokémon Tower. Another stronger ghost is revealed to be a mother {{OBP|Marowak|literal ghost}}, which haunts the tower as a result of her death at the hands of [[Team Rocket]].

The identity of the ghosts can be revealed with an item called the [[Silph Scope]]; without the device, battling the ghosts is impossible. Whenever the player orders an attack against an unknown ghost, the player's Pokémon will be too scared to move. In [[Generation I]], players can exploit [[List of glitches in Generation I#Ghost glitch|a glitch]] to make the ghost reveal itself by viewing the stats of any Pokémon in the player's party, and then returning to the battle. However, this glitch, which was corrected in Generation III, is only graphical, and it is still impossible to [[Pokémon battle|fight]] or catch it. Instead of being attacked, the ghost will say "Get out…. Get out…." Before the battle against {{p|Marowak}}'s ghost, a similar message appears, saying "Be gone… Intruders…"
