What Is On This Card?

Evolves from: Haunter

Poké-Power

Curse

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may move 1 damage counter from 1 of your opponent's Pokémon to another of your opponent's Pokémon. This power can't be used if Gengar is affected by a Special Condition.

Attack · 60 damage

Shadow Skip

Psychic + Psychic + Colorless energy. Does 10 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) You may switch Gengar with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

The leer that floats in darkness belongs to a Gengar delighting in casting curses on people.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Arceus set name, and 16 / 99 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.

Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.

Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
