Gengar
Grinning ghost creature
Gengar is a Pokémon—a ghost-poison type resembling a shadowy, grinning specter with a round body and pointed features.
Introduced in the original 1996 games, it evolves from Haunter through trading and remains popular for its mischievous design and competitive strength.
The name likely blends "doppelgänger" with "gang," suggesting a sinister double.
