Back sprite colors?

Gengar's front sprite uses a different coloration in HG/SS than it does in D/P/Pt. However, only one back sprite is shown here, and it uses the same colors as the D/P/Pt front sprite. Did they change the colors of Gengar's back sprite in HG/SS? It would seem odd to me if they didn't, but if they did, maybe a note to that effect should be added? HerbieHero 14:01, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Urm...someone messed up

I quote... "In Generations I and II, and if Gravity, Skill Swap, or Gastro Acid is used, if the opponent has Mold Breaker, or the Pokémon is given an Iron Ball, the effectiveness of Ground-type moves is 2×."... Were any of them things available in Gen 1 and 2...considering Gravity was introduced in Gen 4? - unsigned comment from Buizel1991 (talkcontribs)

It's not saying that those criteria apply in Generation I and II; It's saying that it was weak to Ground-types back then, before abilities were introduced, and still is if it loses its ability via any of the aforementioned items, abilities, or moves. In fact, it should mention the new move Smack Down as well. Oh, and sign your comments with four tildes (~). --AndyPKMN (talk) 23:56, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Woops my bad =\ curse my reading skills! Sorry, just forgot to sign the comment. slipped my mind =\ Buizel1991 23:55, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Trivia Worthy?

Gengar and Starmie are the only 2 Pokémon to be ranked as OU by Smogon in every generation, is this good enough to go into the trivia section? - Wexdarn 20:47, 21 February 2012 (UTC) See Starmie. --Spriteit 03:58, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Dongle?

For location for DPPt, it says "Dongle instead of something like "Rare" or "Common". What does "Dongle" mean? --Ipodboqi 21:45, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

This is a dongle. Basically it means it'll appear when you have one of the Gen III games plugged into your DS at the same time as DPPt. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 21:48, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Stab damage

So I like playing gen 3, and was wondering if a gengar with a sludge bomb with the stab damage would make up for its lack of attack base; or if I should go with another special move with gengar.Tehuberleetmaster 21:27, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
