History
Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon, stands as one of the most iconic and mysterious creatures from the first generation. As the final evolution of Gastly and Haunter, it is renowned for its mischievous nature and its ability to hide in shadows, causing mischief and sending shivers down spines. Its ghostly appearance, with its wide grin and piercing eyes, has made it a fan favorite since the early days of the Pokémon franchise.
The Gengar 20/62 card hails from the Fossil expansion, the third main set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released after Base Set and Jungle. This expansion introduced a theme focused on prehistoric Pokémon and creatures discovered in ancient environments, while continuing to enrich the first generation roster. The Gengar 20/62 is a non-holographic version of the Rare card, making this 1st Edition particularly sought after by collectors.
