What it does
Once during your opponent's turn, if Gengar would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, you may flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is Knocked Out.
Put 3 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. If that Pokémon has any Poké-Powers, put 6 damage counters on that Pokémon instead.
Look at your opponent's hand. This attack does 30 damage times the number of Trainer, Supporter, and Stadium cards in your opponent's hand.

Where it came from
The Gengar card from the 2008 Stormfront expansion was produced during the Diamond & Pearl era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its integration of Pokémon from the Sinnoh region and its inclusion of Trainer cards that featured artwork from various Japanese artists, drawing heavily on the aesthetic established by the Nintendo DS games. The set served as a bridge between the earlier gameplay mechanics and the more aggressive, ability-heavy style that would define later generations of the card game.
The card features artwork by Japanese illustrator Kent Kanetsuna, who frequently contributed to the Pokémon TCG during this period. Kanetsuna’s design for this Gengar captures the character's mischievous and ethereal nature through stylized linework and a vibrant, atmospheric color palette. Upon its release, the card was well-regarded by players for its 'Shadow Room' attack, which allowed for strategic disruption of an opponent's bench, making it a reliable staple in psychic-type decks throughout the 2008-2009 competitive circuit.
