Trivia[]
- Gengar fits the motif of Shadow trying to capture Pokémon, using Mean Look and Hypnosis to keep its opponent in battle and put them to sleep for easy capture.
- Gengar is the first Pokémon to have two confirmed abilities without evolving. This is because of the change in its abilities from Gen VI to Gen VII.
