Gengar (#094)

To steal the life of its target, it slips into the prey's shadow and silently waits for an opportunity. - Silver

Sometimes, on a dark night, your shadow thrown by a streetlight will suddenly and startlingly overtake you. It is actually a Gengar running past you, pretending to be your shadow. - Ruby/Sapphire

It is said to emerge from darkness to steal the lives of those who become lost in mountains. - Emerald

It hides in shadows. It is said that if Gengar is hiding, it cools the area by nearly 10 degrees F. - Diamond

Should you feel yourself attacked by a sudden chill, it is evidence of an approaching Gengar. There is no escaping it. Give up. - Sun

It apparently wishes for a traveling companion. Since it was once human itself, it tries to create one by taking the lives of other humans. - Moon

Mega Gengar

Gengar's relationships are warped. It has no interest in opponents unless it perceives them as prey. - Sun

The energy of Mega Evolution awakened it. It sinks into another dimension, where it keeps a patient watch for its chance to attack. - Moon

It tries to take the lives of anyone and everyone. It will even try to curse the Trainer who is its master! - Ultra Sun

Mega Evolution has made it possible for Gengar to access other dimensions. Its entire body is brimming with strange power. - Ultra Moon

It can pass through other dimensions and can appear anywhere. It caused a stir one time when it stuck just one leg out of a wall. - Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee

Gigantamax Gengar

Rumor has it that its gigantic mouth leads not into its body, filled with cursed energy, but instead directly to the afterlife. - Sword

It lays traps, hoping to steal the lives of those it catches. If you stand in front of its mouth, you'll hear your loved ones' voices calling out to you. - Shield
