Item Description

Few Pokémon cards from the original era are as mischievous as Fossil Gengar. Its Pokémon Power, Curse, lets you move 1 damage counter from one of your opponent's Pokémon to another once during your turn before your attack, even if that would Knock Out the Pokémon receiving it.

That made Gengar a thinking player's card. Chip damage spread across your opponent's side could be gathered up and dropped onto a weakened Benched Pokémon for a surprise Knock Out, while Dark Mind, for three Psychic Energy, does 30 damage plus 10 to a Benched Pokémon of your choice, setting up the next Curse. It's an 80 HP Stage 2 that evolves from Haunter, and Curse can't be used while Gengar is Asleep, Confused or Paralyzed. Even the Pokédex entry fits, describing a Pokémon that mimics people's shadows under a full moon and laughs at their fright.

This is the Fossil printing, collector number 5/62, a holofoil illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi. Fossil was the third expansion of the English Pokémon TCG in 1999, and its holo Gengar is a highlight of any vintage binder built around Generation One's original ghost.
