Stump Pokémon · Ghost/Grass-type

![Phantump official artwork](https://pokee.si/img/art/708.webp)

Phantump is a [Ghost](https://pokee.si/types/ghost)/[Grass](https://pokee.si/types/grass)-type Pokémon, the Stump Pokémon, number 708 (#0708) in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation 6 and comes from the [Kalos](https://pokee.si/guide/regions/kalos) region. It is 0.4 m tall and weighs 7 kg.

Phantump is the Stump Pokémon, a Ghost and Grass type born when a spirit moves into a rotten tree stump. The Pokédex says it only wants to make friends, and legend says its green leaves cure any illness, though they wither the moment they are plucked.

## Lore

### Biology

Phantump is 0.4 m tall and weighs 7 kg: a wispy black body with nubby arms beneath a small brown stump, with a wavy branch sticking out of each side and red eyes visible through two holes. Old tales in the Pokédex say the spirit inside is a child who was lost in the forest.

### Behaviour

Its cries sound like a child's voice or eerie screams, and people who follow them can end up hopelessly lost deep in the forest. The Pokédex says it wanders the woods searching for friends.

### Habitat

The Pokédex says it prefers abandoned forests. In Scarlet and Violet it is wild only in Kitakami, from The Teal Mask, including 3-star Tera Raid Battles; in Paldea it arrives by trade or from HOME. In Legends: Z-A it lives in Wild Zone 13 of Rouge District, and the Mega Dimension DLC adds Hyperspace Lumiose.

### Powers

Natural Cure heals status problems when it switches out, Frisk reveals a foe's held item, and Harvest is hidden. It uses Will-O-Wisp, Hex, Leech Seed and Phantom Force, and its signature Forest's Curse adds the Grass type to a target. Attack 70 is its best stat, and Speed 38 makes it slow.

### Name origin

Phantump may combine 'phantom' and 'stump'. The Japanese name is Bokurei (ボクレー), possibly from the readings of the kanji in kodama (木霊): boku ('tree') and rei ('spirit').

### Design inspiration

James Turner designed Phantump and Trevenant. Phantump looks modelled on the stump of a kodama, a Japanese tree spirit, and resembles other tree spirits such as dryads. Its Shiny colouring may reflect an aspen or birch.

### Evolution notes

Phantump evolves into Trevenant when traded, with no held item needed.

### In the games

In Sun and Moon Phantump lives at Memorial Hill, and in Sword and Shield in the Glimwood Tangle. It first appeared in X and Y, on Route 16 and in the Friend Safari's Ghost-type Safari.

### In the anime

Phantump debuted in the series in 'Making Friends and Influencing Villains!', where Ash and his friends helped a Shiny one reach its mountaintop home. Goh caught one in 'A Festival Reunion!'.

### Fun facts

- Phantump and Trevenant are the only Pokémon that can learn Forest's Curse.
- Bulbapedia sees Phantump and Pumpkaboo as counterparts: both are Grass and Ghost first stages that evolve by trade, and each has a signature move that gives its target an extra type.
- In the poke.si data, Phantump and Trevenant are the only Pokémon with the Amorphous and Grass Egg Group pairing.
