More about the game
Welcome to the world of Pokémon… A horror-inspired love letter to the creepypastas and edgy ROM hacks of the late 2000s and early 2010s, Pokémon: Ghost Grey Version offers an original story, taking place in a decayed Kanto region set 50 years after the events of Gold, Silver and Crystal. These lands have become decayed, and the once vibrant and lively region of Kanto has been overrun by ghosts, ghouls and bad actors, lived in by broken people with no way for escape… Still, the story is the same. Earn 7 badges, catch 'em all, and become the Champion. Surely it's all that simple… right?
What's different, point by point
- A full-length Pokémon adventure from start to finish, with countless secrets and even postgame to look forward to
- Over 200 ghost Pokémon, including every existing ghost-type as well as 120+ original regional variants
- Full graphical overhaul including battle animations, new items, new overworlds, new areas and more
- Every single visual in the ROM has been drawn with original sprites and visuals
- An original soundtrack composed by Whale, with over 130 original songs and jingles created just for Ghost Grey
- Updated mechanics, including an added Fairy type, the physical/special split, and more recent abilities to match the new Pokémon being added in the game. Items from future installments such as Choice Scarf and Eviolite are also included
- Unlimited Rare Candy key item and a dedicated grinding area, "The Fight Club", so levelling up is quick and easy for those who wish to do so
- Improved Pokédex that shows a Pokémon's available abilities and base stats
- Purchaseable Exp. Share, an ability-changing item, and an exp-boosting item as early as the first city
- Unlimited-use TMs and forgettable HMs; the HMs have also been buffed and changed to be much more useful in battle
- Countless secrets and surprises abound in a familiar yet strange world

The game, the ideas and the work are Joey Zeed's. This page only says what the game is and where to find it, because its developers asked us to keep documentation of it to a minimum. Play it from the official page, and send them the feedback and the thanks.
What this page covers
This page is a listing rather than a guide. Its creators asked us to keep documentation of their game to a minimum, so none of the usual sections are here: no wild encounters, no stats or movesets, no TM lists and no trainer teams. That is their call, not a gap we are hoping to fill later. Ask in the Ghost Grey Discord

About this page
Why This Page Is ShortThis is a listing, not a guide. Ghost Grey's developers asked us to keep documentation of their game to a minimum, so there are no encounter tables, movesets, TM lists or trainer teams here and there will not be. Everything above is the team's own description of the game, used with their permission. For anything else, ask in their Discord.
Type ChartSteel resists Ghost and Dark again, as it did before Gen VI. Psychic is not weak to Ghost, as in Gen I. Fairy only resists Dragon and is not immune to it. Ghost is 1.5x against Ghost rather than 2x.
Stat TrainingNeither EVs, IVs nor Hidden Power are in the game: every Pokémon has 0 IVs and cannot gain EVs from battles or items.
BreedingThere are no eggs and no breeding.
Move ChangesDark Pulse and Crunch are 70 power, down from 80.
New MovesPurify (a physical Psychic move that applies Foresight on hit), Shatterpoint (a physical Psychic move replacing Brick Break), Soul Shift (a Psychic-type U-turn), Jumpscare (a Ghost-type Fake Out) and many more.
