Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any
object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body
acts as a heat sink; it's presence cools the temperature of the
surrounding area by nearly 10°F. In addition, Gengar possesses the
ability to fly through the air, as demonstrated by Morty's Gengar.
Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use Hyper Beam and
Giga Impact. Behavior Gengars are very mischievous, and at some
times, malicious. They enjoy playing practical jokes, such as
pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the
quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in it's victim's terror.
Habitat Cave Pokémon Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and
dark places where shadows form, especially in urban areas such as
cities and back alleys but only during the night. Diet Main
article: Pokémon food Gengar drains the life force from its
victims. It may also also eat its victim's dreams. In the anime
Gengar in the anime Gengar first appeared in the opening of Pokémon
- I Choose You!, where it and a Nidorino battled in a Colosseum.
Ash first saw a Gengar in person in Lavender Town in The Tower of
Terror while searching for a Ghost-type Pokémon to fight Sabrina
with. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time
with the ghostly trio, Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar. It, along with
Haunter, seemed to have a fondness for Japanese stand-up, and
attempt to (unsuccessfully) amuse Ash by acting as a pair of
performers. In The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis, a giant Gengar
was awakened near the Ancient City of Pokémopolis where it battled
an equally large Alakazam. Drake of the Orange Islands used a
Gengar in his battle with Ash in Hello, Pummelo! and Enter The
Dragonite. His Gengar managed to confuse Ash's Tauros before he
returned it and instead tried with Ash's Lapras. In the collision
between Night Shade and Ice Beam, both Lapras and Gengar fainted. A
Gengar appeared under the ownership of Ecruteak City Gym Leader
Morty in A Ghost Of A Chance, From Ghost to Ghost, and For Ho-Oh
the Bells Toll!. Agatha used a Gengar to battle Ash's Pikachu in
The Scheme Team. The Ghost Pokémon defeated Pikachu. Gengar was the
leader of "Team Meanies" in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team
Go-Getters out of the Gate! A Gengar appeared in Ghoul Daze!
together with its pre-evolutions, Gastly and Haunter. A Gengar also
appeared in One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!. A Gengar
under the ownership of Hearthome City's Gym Leader Fantina appeared
in a flashback in Playing the Leveling Field! and appeared in A
Shield with a Twist where it was defeated by Ash's Buizel. Pokédex

her team. One of them was used to attack Green and Koga from the
shadows, draining the latter's life force as it possessed his
shadow. Another Gengar was seen at the beginning of the FireRed and
LeafGreen saga in Volume 23. It was used by a kid from Pallet Town
in an attempt to capture a Nidorino, thus replicating the opening
sequence of the Generation I video games. In the TCG Main article:
Gengar (TCG) Game data NPC appearances Pokémon Mystery Dungeon:
Gengar is the leader of Team Meanies. While often accompanied by
Ekans and Medicham, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of
the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the
hero, blaming him or her for the natural disasters. However, it is
later revealed that he is the cursed human. Pokédex entries Gen

Trivia "Phantom" was the original English name for Gengar. Gengar,
along with Nidorino, who it battles in the beginning of Red, Blue,
Green, FireRed and LeafGreen, and probably a couple other Pokémon,
originate from the old manga, Capsule Monsters, which is considered
pre-cursor to the Pokémon franchise. Gengar can be caught in the
wild in Generation IV through the dongle method, as can another
Pokémon previously obtainable only via trading, Steelix, though
Steelix can be battled normally. Even though Gengar is part
Poison-type, like its pre-evolutions, it cannot learn any
Poison-type moves via level up. Gengar is tied with Froslass for
the fastest Ghost-type Pokémon, with a base Speed of 110, and has
the highest base Special Attack stat of any Ghost-type Pokémon at
130. Coincidentally, that is also the highest of any Poison-type.
To date, Gengar and Dusknoir are the only Ghost-type Pokémon which
have undergone two evolutionary events, and both require trading to
trigger their final evolution. The original Gengar sprites have
white eyes (excluding Pokémon Yellow). Despite its ability to hide
in shadows, it's unable to learn Shadow Sneak. Origin It seems to
be simply based on general cartoonish ghosts, and possibly on a
distorted shadow of a human being like shadow people. The overall
appearance could also be an homage to the Cheshire Cat. Gengar also
has some similarities to Gremlins with both looks and personality
(violent, rude, and wild). Name origin Gengar's name is possibly a
shortening of doppelgänger - a ghostly double of a person, which
would be a fitting name for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to
be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻, which can be read "gen",
can be used for words meaning "phantom" or "illusion". Some also
suspect that, like Kangaskhan, Gengar's name may be partially based
on Genghis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire, what with Gengar's
chaotic and dangerous behavior towards others for its own
amusement. There is also a striking pronouncation similarity
between Gengar's name and the danish word "genganger", which simply
is a spirit that after its death chose not to go to the other world
but to return to the world of humans in the shape of a ghost. "Gen"
is translated as "again" or simply "re" and "ganger" is an
old-fashioned word meaning "walker" or "someone that walks". In
other languages German: Gengar French: Ectoplasma - From ectoplasm,
the substance that supposedly emanates from the body of a
spiritualistic medium when contacting the dead. Korean:
팬텀 Paenteom - A transliteration of the English word
phantom. External links Notes ← #093: Haunter Pokémon #095:
