The character
Gengar is the Shadow Pokémon, final evolution of Gastly and Haunter, known for lurking in darkness and playing malicious tricks on unsuspecting victims. Mega Gengar is its Mega Evolved form, gaining a surreal, melting appearance and immense ghostly power. It is a staple of the Pokémon franchise, celebrated for its mischievous personality and strong presence in both games and the trading card game.
This card
This is a Stage 2 promotional card from the MEP Black Star Promos set, numbered 073, printed with a holo treatment. The artwork, illustrated by Ultimateinudog, depicts Mega Gengar in a twisting, colorful burst of motion with its signature wide grin. As a promo issue it carries the PROMO rarity designation rather than a standard set rarity.
How it plays
Mega Gengar ex is a Stage 2 Pokémon with 350 HP, evolving from Haunter, weak to Fighting type by x2, and with a retreat cost of two. Its Ability, Shadowy Concealment, reduces the Prize cards taken by an opponent by one when a Darkness-type Pokémon is Knocked Out by an opposing Pokémon ex's attack, though this effect does not stack. Its attack, Void Gale, costs two Darkness energy and deals 230 damage while allowing the player to move an Energy from this Pokémon to a Benched Pokémon.
