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.
The lyrics reference various Ghost-type adjacent abilities, such as Dawn Wings Necrozma's Prism Armor.
Plot[]
The music video stars a fan of Ghost-type Pokémon waking up from a recurring dream where they meet various Ghost-type Pokémon when walking a trail.

Lyrics[]
- Wait, stop!
- I heard it
- That voice
- Open your Keen Eyes like a Mummy
- I remember
- Flash Fire is a paranormal phenomenon
- It's a Magic Bounce relationship
- Were you weak under Pressure?
- Insomnia, I'm glad it was just a dream
- Slip through with Weak Armor
- Should I have been Defiant?
- It would have been simpler to be Unaware
- How about a Frisk?
- So
- Pierce through with Phantom Force!
- Protect with both hands
- Why don't we make a pinky promise?
- Maybe just the two of us
- Scare me, I can handle it!
- I curse you
- Why don't you Confide with me?
- I'll reveal it to you
- Well, apologies for the Cursed Body!
- A Wandering Spirit by the peephole
- Monologue in a polite Yamask's tone
- Twisting the hands of Sand Rush
- Let's not do this, love in a Long Reach
- Let me ask you a silly question
- Pickup with both hands
- Should I have played Shadow Tag?
- I wish I was a Technician
- Flare Boosted Water Compaction
- Would you have preferred No Guard?
- I want Wonder Guard
- Pardon me for being Bashful
- So
- Do a Lovely Kiss with the heart of a Prankster
- You would have licked poison off the dish
- Surely just the two of us
- Catch the body that Levitates
- Feeling Rattled?
- Now move like a Dancer
- Put on a Disguise
- Well, Clear Body is bare
- Shining Prism Armor
- Steelworker meetup
- Stance Change, sandwich
- Graceful Grim Neigh
- Don't freak out！
- As One Abilify
- Beast Boost racewalking
- Protosynthesis update
- Shadow Shield falsehood
- So
- Pierce through with Phantom Force!
- Protect with both hands
- Why don't we make a pinky promise?
- Always just the two of us
- Scare me, I can handle it!
- I curse you
- Well, you've got the Magician's touch
- I'll reveal it to you
- Well, apologies for the Cursed Body!
- Good as Gold, Trick me!
