Pumpkaboo is a ghostly {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has four sizes: Small, Average, Large, and Super Size. Bred Pumpkaboo are always the same size as the mother, or the non-Ditto Pokémon if bred with [[Ditto]]. Encasing its lower body is a pinkish pumpkin with a pair of nubby legs. Carved into the pumpkin is a pair of circular holes that glow yellow-orange. Pumpkaboo's shadowy black body pokes out of the top of the pumpkin. It has glowing yellow eyes, a pair of fangs in its upper jaw, and pointed ears that curve slightly. On top of its head is a long tuft of fur that curls tightly at the tip. A collar of furry-looking tufts hangs over the edge of the pumpkin.

Pumpkaboo becomes active after dark. The holes in its body can glow and illuminate the way for travelers in the dark. It is said that it also carries wandering spirits to the afterlife by storing the spirits with its body. However, its own spirit is trapped in this world. Pumpkaboo's four different sizes are determined by the number of lost souls lingering and gathered in the area. When taking spirits into the afterlife, small Pumpkaboo prefers taking children spirits while large Pumpkaboo prefers taking adult spirits instead. Pumpkaboo can hypnotize and control any humans or Pokémon. It does this task by releasing steams of light from its holes in the pumpkin.

===Forms===
Pumpkaboo has four different forms that are non-interchangeable: Small, Average, Large and Super Size. Aside from its size, there are no visual differences between the forms.
Pumpkaboo has four separate forms: Small Size, Average Size, Large Size, and Super Size.
 
The size of Pumpkaboo is said to be the product of the number of lost souls that lingered in the area where it was formed. When taking spirits to the afterlife, small Pumpkaboo prefer the spirits of children to those of adults. Supersized Pumpkaboo are very partial to the spirits of people who were of similarly superior proportions.
