Ghost Dive (Japanese: ゴーストダイブ Ghost Dive) is a song from the Pokémon Music Collective performed by Polkadot Stingray.
The song was released on streaming services on September 19th, 2023, and the music video the following day on September 20, 2023. Presumably born out of Shizuku's love for Ghost-type Pokémon, the song and accompanying music video focus solely on them, with it matching the Japanese name of the move Phantom Force. Due to it being an arrangement of Lavender Town, there are plenty of sound effects sampled and references made to various Ghost-type Pokémon, as well as the events of Pokémon Red and Green. Key Animation for the music video was provided by nekozemon, with effects animation by Mami Sonokawa of maxilla.
It begins with Shizuku, in English, saying "Begone... Intruders...", quoting the ghost Marowak that appears at the Pokémon Tower. At various points throughout the song, various sound effects such as the Game Freak opening, (heard in moves such as Swift) Mimikyu's cry, the sound of a Potion healing, the player pressing A to advance through a text box, or a failed Poké Ball throw can be heard sampled into the arrangement. At one point during the bridge before the chorus, it shifts to a slight arrangement of the Pokémon Tower's song itself, before transitioning back to Lavender Town.
