Strategy & play
How Gengar plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Psychic type, weak to Darkness ×2 — a Darkness attacker doing ≥60 effectively one-shots it.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Haunter first).
- Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.
How to beat Gengar
- Exploit its Darkness weakness — ≥60 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Gengar is real?
Gengar is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
