What do the attacks on Gengar 35 cost, and what do they hit for?

Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.

Gengar 35 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Sinister Fog	1 Psychic	1	—	—	Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.
Creep Show	1 Psychic + 1 Colorless	2	—	—	If your opponent's Active Pokémon has 3 or more damage counters on it, that Pokémon is Knocked Out.

This card has no retreat cost at all, so it can leave the active spot without discarding any Energy — the only limit is that retreating happens once a turn.

Sinister Fog1 Energy card

Creep Show2 Energy cards

What each attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Sinister Fog puts damage counters on a Pokémon instead of dealing damage to it. The two look alike on the board — one counter is ten damage — but the rules treat them apart: anything that reduces or prevents damage does not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them either.

What knocks out Gengar 35 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Darkness attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 65 printed damage rather than 130.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 509 cards in the archive that can remove Gengar 35 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 70 printed damage against a bar of 65. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Gengarweak to Darkness ×2

Gengarresists Fighting -20

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Fighting resistance changes

Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

Gengar 35 is one print of Gengar. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

What has to be in play before Gengar 35 can be?

Gengar evolves from Haunter, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Haunter.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (130 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Gengar print, and can the older ones still be played?

53 prints carry this name in the archive, and 47 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (350 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Gengar 35 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Moving it out of the active spot costs no Energy at all.
It cannot start the game in play — Haunter has to be on the field first.

What actually removes it

A Darkness attack printed at 65 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 130 HP.
511 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Damage from Fighting attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Gengar 35 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Gengar 35?

Gengar 35 has 130 HP and a Darkness weakness at ×2, so a Darkness attack printed at 65 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 130.

What is the retreat cost of Gengar 35?

None. Gengar 35 carries a printed retreat cost of zero, so it can move out of the active spot without discarding any Energy. The once-a-turn limit on retreating still applies.

Does Gengar 35 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Gengar print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 47 prints listed on this page, 10 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Gengar evolve from?

Haunter. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Gengar 35 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Gengar 35 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
