Pokédex Description

Generation 1
Red, Blue

Under a full moon, this POKéMON likes to mimic the shadows of people and laugh at their fright.

Yellow

A GENGAR is close by if you feel a sudden chill. It may be trying to lay a curse on you.

To steal the life of its target, it slips into the prey's shadow and silently waits for an opportunity.

Crystal

Hiding in people's shadows at night, it absorbs their heat. The chill it causes makes the victims shake.

Sometimes, on a dark night, your shadow thrown by a streetlight will suddenly and startlingly overtake you. It is actually a GENGAR running past you, pretending to be your shadow.

Emerald

LeafGreen

On the night of a full moon, if shadows move on their own and laugh, it must be GENGAR’s doing.

Generation 7
Sun

Should you feel yourself attacked by a sudden chill, it is evidence of an approaching Gengar. There is no escaping it. Give up.

Moon

It apparently wishes for a traveling companion. Since it was once human itself, it tries to create one by taking the lives of other humans.

Ultra Sun

You can hear tales told all over the world about how Gengar will pay a visit to children who are naughty.

Ultra Moon

Even your home isn’t safe. Gengar will lurk in whatever dark corner of a room it can find and wait for its chance to catch its prey.
