Iconic Gen 1 Ghost type with broad nostalgia Consistently strong collector demand for Gengar across all sets Memorable, slightly sinister design that suits dark holo art Tied to the heavily nostalgic Kanto FireRed & LeafGreen theme Named-artist appeal from Mitsuhiro Arita Many TCG cards across the WOTC, EX, and modern eras, a fair number of them chase cards A recurring Ghost-type presence throughout the Pokemon games and anime since Gen 1 Gengar ex saw EX-era play thanks to Poltergeist, which scaled with the number of Trainer cards in the opponent's hand, plus Prize Count for comeback damage
