What it does
As long as any Dark Gengar are in play, a player flips 2 coins for each of his or her Pokémon that is Asleep at the end of each turn. If either of them is tails, that Pokémon is still Asleep. This power stops working if Dark Gengar is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, you may choose 1 of them and switch it with the Defending Pokémon (before doing damage or other effects of this attack). Either way, the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep.
It absorbs the heat in the air around it. If you suddenly feel cold, it's because a Gengar has appeared.

Where it came from
Dark Gengar was released in 2002 as part of the Neo Destiny expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for introducing the concept of Pokémon Owners and 'Dark' Pokémon, which leaned into more mature, gothic themes compared to the base sets. The design was intended to depict a more sinister version of the classic ghost-type Pokémon, fitting the set’s darker aesthetic shift.
The card features an illustration by Shin-ichi Yoshida, a prolific artist in the early TCG years who frequently worked on psychic and ghost-type Pokémon. Yoshida’s work on this card utilized a distinctive, moody art style that emphasized Gengar's mischievous and spectral nature, capturing the eerie atmosphere that defined the Neo Destiny collection. The card was well-received by players and collectors, becoming a highlight of the set due to its striking artwork and utility in the competitive meta of the time.
