The middle step counts every card that records a Pokédex number, including Pokémon too small to have a page of their own. That is why its figure is larger than the totals on the Pokédex number list, which only counts the groups it can open.

Gengar Pokémon cards at a glance

  • What this group is. 50 cards share the Pokédex number Gengar. The Pokédex number ties every print of the same Pokémon together, whatever the set is called and whatever extra words the card name carries. Grouping by the number keeps prints of one Pokémon in one place instead of scattering them by name.
  • What they cost. The typical card is $160.00. Across the 47 priced cards the range runs $1.42 to $2,199.99.
  • Where it stands. No. 1 of 206 Pokémon by typical price, with 205 of them cheaper.
  • What the cards are like. They average 167 HP and 89 maximum damage, and are most often weak to Darkness.
  • What is listed below. Every one of the 50 cards that carries a price, each with its own price page. The other 3 are counted in the total but have no published price, so they are not listed.
  • When it was read. Every figure on this page comes from the archive as it stood on August 14, 2026.

Which Gengar cards share a name across several printings?

46 of the 50 cards listed above are reprints of just 8 names. Buying by name alone is how people end up with the wrong printing, because these share a name but not a set, a rarity or a price.

How Gengar Pokémon card prices are spread

One number cannot describe a group whose cards run from a few dollars to several thousand. These four points and the bands under them show the shape of it.

An average hides the shape of a group. These four points say where the money actually sits among Gengar cards.

A typical Gengar card$160.00medianThat is 7.3% of the dearest single card at $2,199.99. "Gengar cards are expensive" is a story about one card.

This page carries no graded prices for Gengar cardsPaid data A graded copy can be worth several times an ungraded one, but population counts and graded sale prices are only sold commercially.Rather than print a guess, the column is left out — every price here is for an ungraded English card.
The counting sections and the price sections do not share a denominator. This group holds 50 cards, but only 47 of them carry a price. Every figure about money on this page — the typical price, the quarters, the bands, the ladder — is counted on those 47, while every figure about how many cards exist is counted on all 50.

What Gengar Pokémon cards are made of, and which of them hold the value

The group price says what an ordinary Gengar card costs. These break the group down by card kind, rarity, printing, each row beside its own typical price, so you can tell a cheap card from a dear one before you look it up.

The words printed after the name split Gengar cards into kinds, and each kind plays by different rules.

How much HP and damage Gengar Pokémon cards print

An average hides the shape of a group: it reads the same whether every Gengar card prints the same number or they run from one end of the scale to the other. These five points show which of the two is happening.

What are Gengar Pokémon cards weak to?

Weakness is the one printed number that doubles incoming damage, so it decides more matches than HP does. Across the 44 Gengar cards that print one, the most common is Darkness on 32 of them.

Which Gengar Pokémon cards print a resistance?

Resistance is the rarer of the two printed match-ups: only 39 of the 50 Gengar cards on file carry one at all, and the rest simply leave the box empty.

How do Gengar Pokémon cards evolve?

Gengar cards evolve in two ways that are easy to read as one: the collection line runs from an earlier Pokémon up to Gengar, while a form badge promotes one Gengar card into another. These are the 45 Gengar cards that print a stage.

How Gengar compares with the other Pokémon

A price on its own says nothing until you know what the group next to it costs. This is where Gengar sits among the 206 Pokémon on file.

"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.

Ranked by its single dearest card, Gengar is number 5 of 206 Pokémon, on SWSH Black Star Promos #SWSH241 at $2,199.99. By card count it is number 15, and by the price of an ordinary card number 1 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".

Ranked by what an ordinary card costs, Gengar is number 1

Gengar Pokémon cards — frequently asked questions

How many Gengar Pokémon cards are there?

There are 50 Gengar cards in this archive, and 47 of them carry a price. The Pokédex number ties every print of the same Pokémon together, whatever the set is called and whatever extra words the card name carries. Grouping by the number keeps prints of one Pokémon in one place instead of scattering them by name.

How much is a Gengar Pokémon card worth?

The typical one costs $160.00. Across the 47 priced cards the range runs from $1.42 to $2,199.99, so the group price is a starting point rather than a valuation of any one card.

What is the most expensive Gengar Pokémon card?

Gengar SWSH241 from SWSH Black Star Promos, at $2,199.99. It is 14× the typical price of the group.

Are Gengar Pokémon cards rare?

By price they rank No. 1 of 206 Pokémon, with 205 cheaper than this one. By size the group holds 50 of the 20,444 English cards on file, or 0.2%. Those two together are what "rare" usually means in practice — few of them, and dear because of it.

Do all Gengar Pokémon cards have a price?

No. 47 of the 50 carry a price on file. The rest have never been listed at a price this archive could read, so they are counted in the card total but left out of every price figure rather than guessed at.

Where can I see every Gengar Pokémon card?

The list on this page holds the 50 most expensive of them, dearest first, and each card opens its own price page. The remaining 0 carry no published price, which is why they are not drawn.

How often are Gengar Pokémon card prices updated?

Prices are read once a day from public marketplace listings. The figures on this page were read on August 14, 2026. Which cards belong to this group comes from openly published card files and changes only when a new set is added.

Are Gengar Pokémon cards going up in value?

Over the last 11 months the typical Gengar card rose from $79.23 to $160.00, a change of +101.9%. That is the middle of the whole group, so it describes an ordinary card of this kind rather than the headline one at the top.

How much does a cheap Gengar Pokémon card cost?

One in four Gengar cards costs $47.90 or less and the cheapest on file is $1.42. Three in four cost $487.83 or less, so the cards past that point are the exception rather than the rule for this group.

Which Gengar Pokémon cards are worth the most?

Sorted by rarity, Rare Ultra is the dearest kind of Gengar card: 3 of them are on file and the middle one costs $745.40. The table on this page lists every rarity in the group beside its own typical price.

What is the highest HP on a Gengar Pokémon card?

The highest printed HP among Gengar cards is 350, and the lowest is 70. The typical one is 130 HP, with half of them between 110 and 220 — figures counted from the 50 cards in this group that print an HP value.

Are Gengar Pokémon cards legal in tournaments?

11 of the 50 Gengar cards are legal in Standard today and 31 in Expanded — 22.0% and 62.0% of the group. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year even though the cards do not change.

What are Gengar Pokémon cards weak to?

Most often Darkness — 32 of the 44 Gengar cards that print a weakness take double damage from it, with Fighting next at 11 cards. Weakness is printed per card, so the group tendency is a guide and the card itself is the answer.

Are old Gengar Pokémon cards worth more than new ones?

Not simply by age. Among Gengar cards the 2002 printings sit at a typical $485.03 and the 2026 ones at $29.68, while the dearest year of all is 2002 at $485.03. Print run and demand decide it, not the date on its own.

Which Gengar Pokémon card rose the most this year?

Gengar 13 from Expedition Base Set, which went from $119.99 to $799.98 — a change of +566.7% between August 14, 2025 and August 14, 2026. It is one of 39 Gengar cards that carried a price on both days.

Which sets have Gengar Pokémon cards?

Gengar cards appear across 10 sets on file. The largest are Phantom Forces (4 cards, typically $347.12), Team Up (4 cards, typically $388.61), Arceus (3 cards, typically $182.65). The full list on this page gives every set beside its card count and typical price.

Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Gengar cards, taken from a daily snapshot of public marketplace listings read on August 14, 2026. They are not offers, they exclude shipping, duty and marketplace fees, and they move. Counts cover only the English cards this site holds on file. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
