The character
Gengar is the Shadow Pokémon, the final evolution of Gastly and Haunter, first introduced in Generation I. Known for lurking in darkness and mimicking shadows, it is said to bring cold chills and bad luck to those it encounters. It is one of the most iconic Ghost-type Pokémon in the franchise, frequently appearing across games, anime, and merchandise.
This card
This is Gengar, numbered 066/196 from the Lost Origin set, released in 2022. It is a Holo Rare Stage 2 card featuring a pumpkin stamp variant, illustrated by Narumi Sato. The artwork depicts Gengar grinning among lit candles and chains, evoking a haunted, eerie atmosphere fitting the character.
How it plays
This Stage 2 Psychic-type Pokémon evolves from Haunter and has 120 HP. Its Ability, Netherworld Gate, allows the player to put this Gengar from the discard pile onto the Bench once per turn, placing 3 damage counters on it if done. Its attack, Screaming Circle, costs one Psychic Energy and places 2 damage counters on the opponent's Active Pokémon for each of their Benched Pokémon. It is weak to Darkness-type attacks (x2), resists Fighting-type attacks (-30), and has a retreat cost of two Energy.
