GengarExpedition #13 Pokémon Card

Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon, is a Ghost/Poison type 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 lurking in shadows, playing pranks, and even stealing people's life force. Its Pokédex entries describe it as enjoying the fear it instills in others, and it is said to hide in the shadows of anything, even its victim's own shadow. In the games, Gengar is a fast special attacker, a formidable opponent that benefits from its unique typing which grants it immunity to Normal and Fighting types. In the anime, Gengar often appears as a playful yet spooky entity, sometimes accompanying trainers or even acting as a rival. Its iconic design, with its wide grin and piercing red eyes, has made it a fan favorite and a prominent figure in Pokémon lore and merchandise. Gengar's cultural significance extends beyond the games and anime, appearing in various spin-offs, movies, and even mainstream media, solidifying its status as one of the most recognizable and beloved Pokémon. Its evolution line represents a classic spooky progression, from the gaseous Gastly to the more solid and menacing Gengar.
