Gengar

Description

Designed by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, this rare card captures the essence of the ghostly Pokémon evolved from Haunter, serving as a key Stage 2 addition for fans of the Psychic type. With 120 HP, Gengar brings both durability and strategic depth to the game, offering two distinct attack options that appeal to players and collectors alike. The first attack, PsychicSharpshooting, allows the player to choose one of their opponent's Pokémon and deal 40 damage, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched targets. This mechanic makes the card particularly interesting for those studying classic Pokémon TCG strategies and card design. The second attack, Poison Jab, delivers 60 damage and applies the Poisoned status to the defending Pokémon, showcasing Gengar's versatile offensive capabilities. These attacks reflect the Pokémon's cunning nature, as described in its Pokédex entry about floating in darkness to cast curses. Collectors often seek out this reverse holo version for its shimmering finish and nostalgic value from the late 2000s era. The Arceus set remains popular among enthusiasts who appreciate the intricate design elements and the iconic status of Gengar within the franchise. Owning this card allows you to complete your Arceus collection or add a powerful Psychic-type to your vintage Pokémon TCG inventory. Whether you are building a themed collection or simply admire the artistry of Mitsuhiro Arita, this Gengar card represents a memorable piece of Pokémon trading card history.
