Crimson Invasion is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on November 3, 2017. The printed size is 111. This checklist is longer, at 126 cards. Gengar is 38/111, in position 38 of 126 on this checklist. Before it is 37 Haunter, and after it is 39 Misdreavus. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Gengar is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Gengar (#094), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Haunter. In this catalog that name is Haunter (#093).

Shin Nagasawa illustrated this card. The same name is on 303 other cards in the catalog.

Gengar (#094) has 52 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 34 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Gengar 5/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. 43 other cards of Gengar list a different HP.

Gnawing Curse is listed as Ability. Whenever your opponent attaches an Energy card from their hand to 1 of their Pokémon, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon. The attack Fade to Black lists 70 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Darkness ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. The flavor text reads "Should you feel yourself attacked by a sudden chill, it is evidence of an approaching Gengar. There is no escaping it. Give up."

I keep a set binder for Crimson Invasion, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Crimson Invasion set binder. 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.
