Read more ↓Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon, is a Ghost/Poison type first introduced in Generation I. It is the final evolution of Gastly, evolving from Haunter when traded. Gengar is known for its mischievous and sometimes malevolent nature, often depicted hiding in shadows and delighting in scaring people. Its Pokédex entries frequently emphasize its ability to absorb warmth and hide in the darkness, sometimes even mimicking shadows. In the Pokémon world, Gengar is a popular choice for trainers due to its high Special Attack and Speed, making it a formidable opponent in battles. It has a significant presence in the anime, often appearing as a playful but powerful entity, and is a fan-favorite for its iconic design and personality. Gengar's type combination gives it resistances to Poison, Bug, and Grass, immunity to Normal and Fighting, but makes it weak to Ghost, Psychic, Ground, and Dark-type attacks. Its cultural significance extends beyond the games and anime, appearing in various merchandise, spin-off games, and even popular culture references, solidifying its status as one of the most recognizable Pokémon.
