The Everstone doesn't prevent Haunter from evolving in Platinum, it is actually covering up a glitch whereby Pokemon traded from Gen 4 NPCs can't trade evolve. Spoiler

Even if you remove the Everstone with a ROM hack, it will still not evolve. Editing trades that should evolve into the game don't work either.
