#20 Gengar - Fossil (base3)

Gengar is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy. Its primary attack, Dark Mind, requires three Psychic energy to deal 30 damage and inflicts 10 damage to an opponent’s Benched Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance. The card includes a unique ability called Curse, allowing the player to transfer a damage counter from one of their opponent’s Pokémon to another during their turn, provided Gengar is not Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Gengar resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 damage, making it effective against such threats. The card’s flavor text describes Gengar as a shadow-mimicking Pokémon that thrives under a full moon, causing fear in those it encounters. It was first released in the Base set as part of the Fossil series on October 10, 1999, and is classified as a Rare card. The artwork is credited to artist Keiji Kinebuchi, with a theme color of #b3797f.
