Known as the Shadow Pokemon, Gengar first appeared in Pokemon Red and Blue as the final evolution of Gastly and Haunter. Being a dual-type Ghost and Poison creature, Gengar also received a form of Mega Evolution Pokémon X and Y and a Gigantamax module in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Although other Ghost-type Pokemon were introduced in subsequent generations, Gengar's popularity remains strong among Pokemon trainers.
