What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may move 1 damage counter from 1 of your opponent's Pokémon to another (even if it would Knock Out the other Pokémon). This power can't be used if Gengar is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 10 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
Under a full moon, this Pokémon likes to mimic the shadows of people and laugh at their fright.

Where it came from
The Gengar card was released as part of the Fossil expansion in 1999, which served as the second major TCG set in North America. Coming on the heels of the massive success of the Base Set and Jungle expansions, the Fossil set introduced a new wave of Pokémon originally featured in the Kanto region’s late-game areas. Its inclusion helped solidify the Psychic type as a formidable force in the early competitive meta-game.
The card features the iconic artwork of Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific illustrators in the Pokémon TCG’s history. Arita’s portrayal of Gengar emphasizes its mischievous and ethereal nature, utilizing a distinctive style that was foundational to the early aesthetic of the franchise. It remains a hallmark of the original 151-character era and is highly regarded by collectors for its role in defining Gengar's visual legacy.
