Its Ability

Fainting Spell

Once during your opponent's turn, if Gengar would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, you may flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is Knocked Out.

Its attacks

Shadow Room

Put 3 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. If that Pokémon has any Poké-Powers, put 6 damage counters on that Pokémon instead.

Poltergeist

30×

Look at your opponent's hand. This attack does 30 damage times the number of Trainer, Supporter, and Stadium cards in your opponent's hand.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

A strength
It has an Ability, Fainting Spell. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Haunter to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Darkness +30. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 2,313 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it
