Its iconic design and role as a classic Ghost-type have cemented its place as a fan favorite and a staple of the Pokémon franchise's darker side. Gengar's cultural significance extends beyond the games and anime, appearing in various merchandise and even inspiring real-world art and fashion, embodying the playful spookiness of Halloween. Its evolution line represents a classic journey from a gaseous form to a tangible, yet still spectral, being.
