Gengar (Japanese: ゲンガー, Hepburn: Gangar) (GHEN-gar[1]) is a Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It can also Mega Evolve into Mega Gengar, or Gigantamax into Gigantamax Gengar It is Machamp's counterpart.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Gengar is a shadow-like, round-bodied Pokémon with two large, pointed ears and short spikes lining its back. Gengar has two red eyes and a toothy, sinister smile. It has claws on its hands. Gengar stands on its two short legs, but it can Levitate as well.
In Mega Gengar, it has a hot pink smoke around it, a third yellow eye, and its hands are buried in the ground. It also has more spikes on its back and tail.
In Gigantamax Gengar, it has grown much larger. Its red eyes have turned yellow with soulless white pupils and the body has remained mostly the same aside from the absence of visible physical feet and detached hands that are in the ground. It has a massive mouth that resembles some sort of room with a long tongue inside.
Behavior[]
Gengar are typically mean-spirited and enjoy tormenting people by hurting them and overtaking them. They are most active during full moons, creeping out in the dead of night and disguising themselves as shadows; they may even enters sleeping homes to lurk in the dark. They will mimic every movement their targets make until they lower their guards. Then, they strike, draining their victims' life force as sustenance.
Gengar are also said to attack those who are hopelessly lost and afraid in the mountains. Many Gengar have learned to feed on fear, simply following victims in the shadows and mimicking them almost, but not quite perfectly. This cultivates great paranoia in victims, which they can then feast on. Other tricks Gengar have been known to use include: laughing maniacally in the shadows, lighting their red eyes in the darkness, and chanting mysteriously in the distance. In some places, parents warn that Gengar appear at night in the bedrooms of naughty children. A famous folk tale tells of a Gengar that once used to be human, attacking people so it could have a friend.
In spite of their infamous insidiousness and cruelty, domesticated Gengar that are being kindly looked after by their trainers are much friendlier, and their smiles appear to be less creepy.
Natural abilities[]
This Pokémon hides in the shadows. It is said that if a Gengar is hiding, it cools the area by nearly 10 °F. When there is a Full Moon, Gengar like to scare people by pretending to be their shadow, then laugh at their fear. They can absorb any surrounding heat, leaving a sudden chill. To steal the life of their targets, they slip into the prey's shadow and silently waits for an opportunity. Gengar are also able to merge with and inhabit the shadow of another being.
Additionally, Gengar can cast curses on their victims, simply to immobilize them in extreme agony and pain as a means for Gengar themselves to strike easily.
Evolution[]
Gengar is the evolved form of Haunter, by trade. It can further evolve into Mega Gengar by using its Gengarite.

Trivia[]
- Despite Gengar being able to sneak within shadows, it is unable to learn the move Shadow Sneak.
- Despite being part Poison type, it cannot learn any Poison-type moves by leveling up.
- Even though Gengar isn't shown levitating in any of the core series games, it still has the ability Levitate. However, its ability was changed to Cursed Body in Generation VII.
- Gengar is four inches shorter than Haunter, despite it being evolved from Haunter.
- Mega Gengar, like Mega Alakazam, gets shorter when it Mega Evolves.
- Gengar's Mega Stone is banned by Smogon on online battles in X/Y due to Shadow Tag and Perish Song.
- There is a theory stating that Gengar might be the shadow of Clefairy or Clefable.
- This is because they have a similar physical appearance, because Gengar's name originates from the term "doppelganger", and because Gengar's species is the Shadow Pokémon.
- Gengar, along with Nidorino and Jigglypuff, are the first Pokémon to appear in any Pokémon media.
- In addition Gengar, Nidorino and Onix were the first Pokémon shown in the very first episode.
- Back in 2014, a shiny Gengar was released with the move Sludge Wave, a move Gengar normally cannot learn.
- Gengar is one of the 16 Pokémon to be made into a puppet in Japan.
- Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to Alakazam. Both are part of a three-part evolution line that first requires leveling and then trading in order to fully evolve. Both can Mega Evolve and both of them get shorter once doing so. Both have a BST of 500 in Generation VI. Both are weak to each other's STAB moves (Alakazam is weak to Ghost-type moves and Gengar is weak to Psychic-type moves). Both can also learn a total of 13 egg-moves in Generation VI.

Origin[]
Gengar may have been based on the Oni, a creature of ancient Japanese folklore that was said to float invisibly above cities, bringing anything from a natural disaster like an earthquake to a terrible disease. It also appears to be based off a ghostly cat. Its name is possibly based off "doppelganger". Gengar also seems to be based on demons, due to the horns on its head.
Etymology[]
Gengar may come from genganger, a word used to describe spirits in Scandinavian mythology. It may also come from doppelganger.
