CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
On nights with a full moon, Gengar may borrow a passer-by's shadow and laugh at their fright. Other entries describe it as less playful: it slips into a victim's shadow to steal their life force, or emerges to attack travellers lost in the mountains. The same talent for disappearing therefore takes on different tones depending on the account: an unsettling prank or a genuine threat.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
Hurl into Darkness looks at the opponent's hand and sends Pokémon to the Lost Zone, up to the number of Psychic Energy attached to this Gengar. Cursed Drop takes another route by distributing four damage counters among opposing Pokémon. One affects the hand, the other the field.
