Provenance

Where it came from

The Gengar card, numbered 27/130, was released as part of the Diamond & Pearl base set in 2007. This set marked a significant milestone in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, serving as the first collection based on the fourth generation of video games, which introduced the Nintendo DS hardware to the franchise. The set was designed to integrate new mechanics, such as the introduction of Pokémon LV.X, while revisiting fan-favorite legacy Pokémon like Gengar to maintain continuity for long-term players.

The artwork for this specific Gengar card reflects the aesthetic direction of the late 2000s, which leaned into bold, dynamic illustrations to modernize the classic pocket monsters. As a psychic-type rare card, it was crafted to offer strategic utility in competitive play, emphasizing Gengar's signature ghostly and mischievous nature. Upon its release, it was well-received by collectors who appreciated the transition into the Diamond & Pearl era, solidifying the card as a notable mid-rarity entry for players building psychic-focused decks.
