Gengar 20/62 · Fossil

Gengar is Pokédex #094, generation 1 (Kanto). Gengar is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 38. The card says it evolves from Haunter. In this catalog that name is Haunter (#093).

Gengar sits at 20/62 in Fossil, position 20 of 62. Before it is 19 Dragonite, and after it is 21 Haunter. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on October 10, 1999. The printed size is 62, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

Curse is listed as Pokémon Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may move 1 damage counter from 1 of your opponent's Pokémon to another (even if it would Knock Out the other Pokémon). This power can't be used if Gengar is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Dark Mind lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic, Psychic, Psychic. If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 10 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Under a full moon, this Pokémon likes to mimic the shadows of people and laugh at their fright."

Gengar (#094) has 52 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 35 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Gengar 5/62 in Fossil (1999). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. 49 other cards of Gengar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Keiji Kinebuchi. I count 212 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Fossil set binder is where a full Fossil set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gengar can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Gengar and the Gastly line. I still need this card.
