Its Ability

Catastrophe

As long as Gengar is your Active Pokémon, if any of your opponent's Pokémon would be Knocked Out, put that Pokémon in the Lost Zone instead of discarding. (Discard all cards attached to that Pokémon.)

Its attacks

Hurl into Darkness

Look at your opponent's hand and choose a number of Pokémon you find there up to the number of Psychic Energy attached to Gengar. Put the Pokémon you chose in the Lost Zone.

Cursed Drop

Put 4 damage counters on your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like.

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.

  1. A strength

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Catastrophe. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Darkness ×2. Against a Darkness Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 2,312 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Triumphant landed here on 3 November 2010.
