'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon. | '''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. | ||
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[ | It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]]. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}. | ||
(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.) | |||
[[ | |||
Additionally, Gengar has two [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Mega Gengar''' and '''Gigantamax Gengar'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gengar using the [[Gengarite]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Gengar if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. | |||
==Biology== | |||
[[File:094Gengar Dream 5.png|thumb|left|120px|Gengar extending its tongue]] | |||
Gengar is | Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail. | ||
Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}. Its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10 °F (5 °C), because it absorbs the warmth. It is shown in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' that Gengar can fly,<ref>''[[EP023|The Screen Actor's Guilt]]''</ref> [[SM073|possess people]]<ref>''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]''</ref> and other Pokémon, create illusions<ref>''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''</ref> and extend its tongue<ref>''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]''</ref> by several meters. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Night Shade}} was its [[signature move]]. | |||
[[ | |||
[[ | |||
Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar has been known to be loyal to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who treats it well. Being the result of an evolution via [[Trade|trading]], Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and dark places where shadows form. It is especially fond of urban areas such as cities and back alleys, but only during the night. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Gengar is known to sleep deeply while hiding in the shadow of a target it plans to curse.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> | |||

===Forms=== | |||
Gengar has two forms: [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar and [[Gigantamax]] Gengar. | |||
As Mega Gengar, a portion of its body sinks into the ground and its arms and tail lengthen. The lower portions turn a more reddish-purple, and a third eye appears on its forehead. This new unblinking eye is oval, yellow, and allows it to see into other dimensions.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref> The spikes on Mega Gengar's back are more numerous and pointed, and additional spikes appear on its hands and tail. Its ears are now considerably longer and tilt backward. | |||
Mega Gengar has the ability to access other dimensions and has a vicious nature. Mega Gengar has no interest in opponents unless perceived as prey. Its relationships are warped due to [[Mega Evolution]]. It now desires to take and curse the life of anyone or anything in its path; it may even curse its own Trainer. Mega Gengar sinks into another dimension to wait for a chance to attack. | |||
As Gigantamax Gengar, it becomes larger, with portions of its body sinking into the ground, and only the head, tail, and arms remain. Its body changes from dark-purple to light-purple and its eyes become white with yellow sclera. The inside of its mouth changes to resemble a tunnel with a long purple tongue sticking out. Three red clouds surround the top of Gengar's head. | |||
Gigantamax Gengar's mouth is rumored to not lead into its body. Due to the cursed energy, it is believed to instead lead into the afterlife. By laying a trap, it attempts to steal the lives of those it captures. Should someone stand near its mouth, they can hear the voices of their loved ones calling out to them. | |||

While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming them for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human. After Rayquaza destroys the star heading for the world, Gengar will post a request, asking to visit Ninetales in the hopes of bringing back Gardevoir. While she is rescued, she has no recollection of her times with her trainer, but Gengar is still satisfied to see her safe and leaves. | ||
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Gengar appears as a recruitable character and asks the player to deliver a letter to {{p|Banette}}. As he is connected to [[Team Charm]]'s {{p|Gardevoir}}, it is implied that he is the same aforementioned Gengar from Red and Blue Rescue Team, and that Team Charm's Gardevoir is the same one. | |||

==In the anime== | |||
===Main series=== | |||
[[File:Acerola Greedy Rapooh.png|thumb|250px|Gengar in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']] | |||
[[File:Ash Gengar.png|thumb|250px|Lighter-colored Gengar in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']] | |||
====Major appearances==== | |||
=====[[Morty's Gengar]]===== | |||
A Gengar appeared under the ownership of [[Morty]] in ''[[EP181|A Ghost Of A Chance]]'', ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', and ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''. It was [[Walking Pokémon|never recalled to its Poké Ball]]. | |||
=====[[Agatha's Gengar]]===== | |||
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', [[Agatha]] used a Gengar to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. The Ghost Pokémon defeated Pikachu with a combination of {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Dream Eater}}. | |||
=====[[Team Meanies]]===== | |||
A Gengar was the leader of [[Team Meanies]] in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]''. | |||
=====[[Ash's Gengar]]===== | |||
First appearing in ''[[JN011|Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!]]'', this Gengar caused trouble at the [[Cerise Laboratory]]. In ''[[JN016|A Chilling Curse!]]'', {{Ash}} eventually {{pkmn2|caught}} it when he learned [[Gengar's former Trainer|a Trainer]] had abandoned it out of fear. In ''[[JN092|The Winding Path to Greatness!]]'', it became capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing after drinking the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} made by [[Allister]]. Ash's Gengar sports a lighter color scheme than any Gengar previously seen in the anime, one that more matches its coloration in the [[core series]] games. | |||
=====Other===== | |||
[[File:Alva Gengar.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Gengar in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'']] | |||
[[File:Ash Gengar Gigantamax.png|thumb|250px|Gigantamax Gengar in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'']] | |||
In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', {{Ash}} encountered a Gengar in [[Lavender Town]] while searching for a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to use against [[Sabrina]]. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It and Haunter seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and unsuccessfully attempted to amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP024|the following episode]]. | |||
In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Gengar was awakened near the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]]. There, it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}} before being quelled by the affected {{an|Jigglypuff}}. | |||
In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} used a Gengar in his battle with Ash. It managed to {{status|confusion|confuse}} {{AP|Tauros}} before Ash [[recall]]ed it and instead went with {{AP|Lapras}}. As a result of a collision between {{m|Night Shade}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, both Lapras and Gengar [[Fainting|fainted]]. | |||

The reason for this is because he finds that Gengar is the easiest Pokémon to draw.<ref name=Pokémon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref><ref name=NintendoInt>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref> | ||
** | * Despite Gengar and its evolutionary relatives all being part {{type|Poison}}, none of them were able to learn any Poison-type moves by [[level]]ing up until {{LGPE}}. | ||
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Team Meanies|Gengar]] knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation. | * Gengar is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a [[Pokémon battle]] both in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and in the {{pkmn|games}}, the other being {{p|Nidorino}}. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, on which the beginning of [[EP001|the first TV episode]] was based on, as well as the Red and Green [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]]. | ||
* | * Gengar, along with Nidorino (and possibly other Pokémon), originate from the [[Capsule Monsters]] game design pitch, which would eventually become the [[Pokémon]] series. | ||
** | * In {{g|X and Y}}, Gengar is the only Pokémon with the Ability Levitate that is not eligible for [[Sky Battle]]s. | ||
* Mega Gengar has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. | |||
* When viewing Mega Gengar's [[Pokédex]] entry, the camera's view can only be moved sideways. | |||
* Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, require trading to reach their final stage of evolution, and are capable of Mega Evolution. They are the same height, and both get shorter upon Mega Evolution. They share a base friendship of 70 and, since Generation VI, a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to the other's [[STAB]], and they share weaknesses to the {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Dark}} types. In the ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a Gengar and an Alakazam are put against each other. | |||
** Gengar could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are, like Alakazam, the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, can both be obtained through evolution induced by trade, and are capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing in [[Generation VIII]]. Both Gengar and Machamp also share a base friendship of 70. While both are weak against {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as Gengar is part {{type|Poison}} and Machamp is a {{type|Fighting}}, Gengar can counter it with its {{t|Ghost}} typing. | |||
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Team Meanies|Gengar]] knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation. These are the exact same moves {{p|Absol}} has when joining the player's team during this point in the main story. It's likely the data was unintentionally copied over, as escort Pokémon are uniquely coded from normal Pokémon. In the Rescue Team remake, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], Gengar's moves were changed to {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Sucker Punch}}. | |||
* Gengar's identity as a former human, as described by the Pokédex in Generation VII, may have been inspired by its portrayal in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], which was released 11 years before {{g|Sun and Moon}}. | |||
* In {{g|Shuffle}}, Gengar's Shiny coloration is significantly lighter than in the core series. Instead, it resembles [[Alva]]'s Gengar from ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. | |||
* In the [[core series]] games, Mega Gengar has small feet that can be seen by recalling it and sending it out. A glitch in [[Pokémon GO]] also allows Mega Gengar's feet to be seen. In [[Pokkén Tournament]], however, Mega Gengar does not have feet. Instead, a portal appears beneath it whenever it is airborne. Its tail will disappear as well. | |||
* When Gengar [[Gigantamax]]es, it doesn't grow on screen. Instead, it pops out of the ground. | |||
* Gengar is the only Pokémon capable of both Gigantamax and Mega Evolution that is not one of the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]]. | |||
* Gengar is the only Ghost-type to have a Gigantamax form. | |||
* In [[Generation VI]], due to a [[glitch]], on the first turn of becoming Mega Gengar, it can still be affected by {{m|Telekinesis}}. | |||
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Snorlax}} for the most Pokédex entries in ''Pokémon the Series'', with a total of 7. | |||
===Concept and development=== | |||
Gigantamax Gengar and its {{Shiny}} form were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1282081394940801025 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 11, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1283183146972745728 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on July 14, 2020.</ref> | |||
===Origin=== | ===Origin=== | ||
<!--DO NOT ADD ANYTHING ABOUT GENGAR RESEMBLING CLEFABLE.--> | |||
Gengar appears to be based on a {{wp|ghost}}. It may also be loosely inspired by the {{wp|Cheshire Cat}}, as it possesses pointed ears; a large, toothy grin; and the ability to vanish. Gengar's many abilities revolving around shadows, as well as its [[Pokémon category]], may also suggest it is partially based on {{wp|Shadow person|shadow people}}. | |||
Some of Gengar's traits, such as its {{t|Poison}} type and extremely light weight, seem to be based on {{jwp|浮遊霊|Fuyūrei}}, floating spirits said to be able to spread diseases. | |||
Due to its horn-like ears, teeth, ability to float in the air, and dark nature, Gengar may also be based on the {{wp|oni}}. Oni sometimes have a third eye in the center of their forehead, which could be the basis for [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gengar. | |||
====Name origin==== | ====Name origin==== | ||
Gengar and Gangar | Gengar and Gangar may be derived from ''{{wp|Doppelgänger}}'' (ghostly double of a living person). It may also involve 幻 ''gen'' (phantasm). | ||

Gengar (Japanese: ゲンガー Gangar) is a dual-type Ghost/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Haunter when traded or when exposed to a Linking Cord. It is the final form of Gastly.
(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)
Additionally, Gengar has two forms: Mega Gengar and Gigantamax Gengar. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Gengar using the Gengarite, and can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Gengar if it has the Gigantamax Factor.
Biology
Gengar is a dark purple, bipedal Pokémon with a roundish body. It has red eyes, a wide mouth that is usually curled into a sinister grin, and pointed ears. On its back are numerous spikes and it has smaller spikes on top of its head similar to tufty fur. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet. It also has a stubby tail.
Gengar has the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a heat sink. Its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10 °F (5 °C), because it absorbs the warmth. It is shown in Pokémon the Series that Gengar can fly,[1] possess people[2] and other Pokémon, create illusions[3] and extend its tongue[4] by several meters. In Generation I, Night Shade was its signature move.
Gengar is very mischievous, and at times, malicious. It enjoys playing practical jokes and casting curses, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar has been known to be loyal to a Trainer who treats it well. Being the result of an evolution via trading, Gengar is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in caves and dark places where shadows form. It is especially fond of urban areas such as cities and back alleys, but only during the night. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Gengar is known to sleep deeply while hiding in the shadow of a target it plans to curse.[5]

Forms
Gengar has two forms: Mega Gengar and Gigantamax Gengar.
As Mega Gengar, a portion of its body sinks into the ground and its arms and tail lengthen. The lower portions turn a more reddish-purple, and a third eye appears on its forehead. This new unblinking eye is oval, yellow, and allows it to see into other dimensions.[6] The spikes on Mega Gengar's back are more numerous and pointed, and additional spikes appear on its hands and tail. Its ears are now considerably longer and tilt backward.
Mega Gengar has the ability to access other dimensions and has a vicious nature. Mega Gengar has no interest in opponents unless perceived as prey. Its relationships are warped due to Mega Evolution. It now desires to take and curse the life of anyone or anything in its path; it may even curse its own Trainer. Mega Gengar sinks into another dimension to wait for a chance to attack.
As Gigantamax Gengar, it becomes larger, with portions of its body sinking into the ground, and only the head, tail, and arms remain. Its body changes from dark-purple to light-purple and its eyes become white with yellow sclera. The inside of its mouth changes to resemble a tunnel with a long purple tongue sticking out. Three red clouds surround the top of Gengar's head.
Gigantamax Gengar's mouth is rumored to not lead into its body. Due to the cursed energy, it is believed to instead lead into the afterlife. By laying a trap, it attempts to steal the lives of those it captures. Should someone stand near its mouth, they can hear the voices of their loved ones calling out to them.
Gigantamax Gengar is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Terror.

Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Pinball: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three Gastly and the pair of Haunter, a Gengar appears and must be defeated to win.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team: Gengar is the leader of Team Meanies. While often accompanied by Ekans and Medicham, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming them for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human. After Rayquaza destroys the star heading for the world, Gengar will post a request, asking to visit Ninetales in the hopes of bringing back Gardevoir. While she is rescued, she has no recollection of her times with her trainer, but Gengar is still satisfied to see her safe and leaves.
- Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Gengar appears as a recruitable character and asks the player to deliver a letter to Banette. As he is connected to Team Charm's Gardevoir, it is implied that he is the same aforementioned Gengar from Red and Blue Rescue Team, and that Team Charm's Gardevoir is the same one.

Pokémon UNITE
- Main article: Gengar (UNITE)
Gengar is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee speedster that starts as Gastly and evolves into Haunter at level 5, which evolves into Gengar at level 9.
Trivia
- In the English Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Gengar's prototype name was "Phantom". This is similar to Gengar's Korean name, which is 팬텀 Phantom.
- Gengar is Ken Sugimori's favorite Pokémon. The reason for this is because he finds that Gengar is the easiest Pokémon to draw.[7][8]
- Despite Gengar and its evolutionary relatives all being part Poison-type, none of them were able to learn any Poison-type moves by leveling up until Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
- Gengar is one of the first two Pokémon to appear in a Pokémon battle both in Pokémon the Series and in the games, the other being Nidorino. This is due to their appearance in the opening animation of Pokémon Red and Green, on which the beginning of the first TV episode was based on, as well as the Red and Green remakes.
- Gengar, along with Nidorino (and possibly other Pokémon), originate from the Capsule Monsters game design pitch, which would eventually become the Pokémon series.
- In Pokémon X and Y, Gengar is the only Pokémon with the Ability Levitate that is not eligible for Sky Battles.
- Mega Gengar has the highest base Special Attack stat of all Ghost-type and Poison-type Pokémon.
- When viewing Mega Gengar's Pokédex entry, the camera's view can only be moved sideways.
- Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to Alakazam. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, require trading to reach their final stage of evolution, and are capable of Mega Evolution. They are the same height, and both get shorter upon Mega Evolution. They share a base friendship of 70 and, since Generation VI, a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to the other's STAB, and they share weaknesses to the Ghost and Dark types. In the Pokémon the Series episode The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis, a Gengar and an Alakazam are put against each other.
- Gengar could also be seen as a counterpart to Machamp. They are, like Alakazam, the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, can both be obtained through evolution induced by trade, and are capable of Gigantamaxing in Generation VIII. Both Gengar and Machamp also share a base friendship of 70. While both are weak against Psychic-type Pokémon, as Gengar is part Poison-type and Machamp is a Fighting-type, Gengar can counter it with its Ghost typing.
- When being escorted through Mt. Freeze and Murky Cave in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Gengar knows Leer, Scratch, and Quick Attack, although it cannot learn those moves by any means in any generation. These are the exact same moves Absol has when joining the player's team during this point in the main story. It's likely the data was unintentionally copied over, as escort Pokémon are uniquely coded from normal Pokémon. In the Rescue Team remake, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, Gengar's moves were changed to Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Shadow Ball, and Sucker Punch.
- Gengar's identity as a former human, as described by the Pokédex in Generation VII, may have been inspired by its portrayal in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, which was released 11 years before Pokémon Sun and Moon.
- In Pokémon Shuffle, Gengar's Shiny coloration is significantly lighter than in the core series. Instead, it resembles Alva's Gengar from Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel.
- In the core series games, Mega Gengar has small feet that can be seen by recalling it and sending it out. A glitch in Pokémon GO also allows Mega Gengar's feet to be seen. In Pokkén Tournament, however, Mega Gengar does not have feet. Instead, a portal appears beneath it whenever it is airborne. Its tail will disappear as well.
- When Gengar Gigantamaxes, it doesn't grow on screen. Instead, it pops out of the ground.
- Gengar is the only Pokémon capable of both Gigantamax and Mega Evolution that is not one of the Kanto first partner Pokémon.
- Gengar is the only Ghost-type to have a Gigantamax form.
- In Generation VI, due to a glitch, on the first turn of becoming Mega Gengar, it can still be affected by Telekinesis.
- Gengar is tied with Snorlax for the most Pokédex entries in Pokémon the Series, with a total of 7.
Concept and development
Gigantamax Gengar and its Shiny form were designed by James Turner.[9][10]
Origin
Gengar appears to be based on a ghost. It may also be loosely inspired by the Cheshire Cat, as it possesses pointed ears; a large, toothy grin; and the ability to vanish. Gengar's many abilities revolving around shadows, as well as its Pokémon category, may also suggest it is partially based on shadow people.
Some of Gengar's traits, such as its Poison type and extremely light weight, seem to be based on Fuyūrei, floating spirits said to be able to spread diseases.
Due to its horn-like ears, teeth, ability to float in the air, and dark nature, Gengar may also be based on the oni. Oni sometimes have a third eye in the center of their forehead, which could be the basis for Mega Gengar.
Name origin
Gengar and Gangar may be derived from Doppelgänger (ghostly double of a living person). It may also involve 幻 gen (phantasm).
