'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gengar is dark purple in color and roundish in shape. Gengar's hands now connect to the rest of its body and it has a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|pair of legs and a short, pointed tail}}. Gengar's eyes are now red, its back has a spiny appearance, and its mouth is usually curled into a sinister grin.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
[[File:Morty Gengar.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Morty]]'s Gengar floating through the air]]
Gengar have the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}; its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F, because it took the warmth. In addition, Gengar possesses the ability to fly through the air, as demonstrated by [[Morty]]'s Gengar. Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gengar are very mischievous, and at times, malicious. They enjoy playing practical jokes, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar have been known to be loyal to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that treat them well; the smile is less mischievous and friendlier in this case. Gengar may also cast {{m|curse}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and dark places where shadows form, especially in urban areas such as cities and back alleys but only during the night. Gengar are also known to live in mountains. It normally shares its range with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, but reports of wild Gengar are not unheard of.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Gengar drains the life force from its victims. It may also {{m|Dream Eater|eat its victim's dreams}}. Like its pre-evolution, Haunter, it may {{m|lick}} its prey to drain the life force.

==In the anime==
[[File:Fantina Gengar.png|thumb|210px|right|Gengar in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Gengar first appeared in the opening of the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it and a {{p|Nidorino}} battled in a Colosseum on TV.

{{Ash}} first saw a Gengar in person in [[Lavender Town]] in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' while searching for a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]] with. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It, along with Haunter, seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and attempt to (unsuccessfully) amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers. It reappeared in a flashback in the [[EP024|following episode]].

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Gengar was awakened near the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] where it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}}.

{{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] used a Gengar in his battle with Ash in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. His Gengar managed to confuse [[Ash's Tauros]] before he returned it and instead tried with [[Ash's Lapras]]. In the collision between {{m|Night Shade}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, both Lapras and Gengar fainted.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of [[Ecruteak City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Morty]] in ''[[EP181|A Ghost Of A Chance]]'', ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', and ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.

[[Agatha]] used a Gengar to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. The Ghost Pokémon defeated Pikachu.

Gengar was the leader of "[[Team Meanies]]" in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' together with its pre-evolutions, {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}.

===Minor appearances===
A group of Gengar, along with a group of Haunter, was creating illusions within a forest in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' where it participated in [[Pokémon Beauty Contest|a Pokémon breeding competition]].

A Gengar appeared in ''[[EP186|UnBEARable]]'' in {{an|Brock}}'s thoughts.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Gengar was partnered with two [[Team Rocket]] trainees in ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Gengar under the ownership of [[Hearthome City]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Fantina]] appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP093|Playing the Leveling Field!]]'', and appeared in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' where it was defeated by [[Ash's Buizel]].

A Gengar is set to apeear in [[BW132]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Agatha Gengar Adventures.png|thumb|[[Agatha]]'s Gengar, as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Agatha]] has two Gengar on her team, and many in her {{type|Ghost}} army. One of them was used to attack {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]] from the shadows, draining the latter's life force as it possessed his shadow. Eventually, it was taken down when Koga used the tail that the old woman's {{p|Arbok}} bit off his own to distract it long enough for [[Blue's Porygon2|Blue's Porygon]] to deal the finishing blow.

Another Gengar was seen at the beginning of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga in {{PAV|23}}. It was used by a kid from [[Pallet Town]] in an attempt to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}, thus replicating the opening sequence of the [[Generation I]] video games (and their {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}}).

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In ''[[GB13|A Promise Given to Miltank]]'', Morty called out Gengar to stop a {{p|Spearow}} from stealing the satchel that contained berries collected by {{GnB|Gold}}.

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
The Gengar from [[Team Meanies]] appears as a major character and antagonist.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}'s Gengar debuted in ''[[PM007|Get Rid Of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'' as a Haunter. There it evolved while battling {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

{{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} caught a Gengar prior to [[PM054]] but officially debuted in [[PM055]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Agatha]]'s Gengar went up against {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and lost in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]''.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar that appears must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming him or her for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human.

==Trivia==

* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar was originally known as "Phantom".
* Gengar, along with {{p|Nidorino}}, with whom it battles in the beginning of {{game5|Red|Blue|Green|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, originate from the ''[[Capsule Monsters]]'' manga, which is considered the precursor to the Pokémon franchise.
* Even though Gengar is part {{type|Poison}}, like its pre-[[evolution]]s, it cannot learn any Poison-type moves via level up.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Froslass}} for the fastest {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, with a base {{stat|Speed}} of 110, and has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any {{type|Poison}} Pokémon at 130.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], it knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it [[game move errors|cannot learn]] those moves by any means in any generation.
* Although it has the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, it can be heard landing on the floor when sent out of its Poké Ball. It shares this trait with {{p|Eelektross}}.
* Although {{p|Gastly}} evolves into {{p|Haunter}} at Level 25, wild Gengar can be found in the {{Old Chateau}} at Level 16.

===Origin===
It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or {{wp| Cheshire Cat}} and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being like {{wp|shadow people}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar are possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'', a double of a person, which is fitting for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻 ''maboroshi'' can also be read as ''gen'' and is used in words meaning ''phantom'' or ''illusion''. There is also a striking pronunciation similarity to the Danish word ''{{wp|gjenganger|genganger}}''.

'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン　空の探検隊''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky'') is a game developed by [[Chunsoft]], and is a sister game to {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}. The game was first announced in [[CoroCoro]], which released the first details in January 2009. It was officially released in Japan on April 18, 2009 and in North America on October 12, 2009.

==New features==
* Players can now play as four new [[starter Pokémon]]: {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Riolu}}, and {{p|Shinx}}. {{p|Munchlax}} and {{p|Meowth}} are no longer playable as the main hero, and {{p|Eevee}} returns from {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}. Moreover, every starter Pokémon, in addition to Meowth and Munchlax, are available as partners.
** Some of the starter and partner Pokémon can now start with an [[Egg move]].
* Players can now play the music used in the game with the '''[[Sky Jukebox]]'''.
* There is a new place called '''[[Spinda's Café]]''' where the following can be found:
** '''Spinda's Juice Bar''' grants access to several [[Lush Prairie|exc]][[Serenity River|lus]][[Happy Outlook|ive]] [[Lost Wilderness|dung]][[Destiny Tower|eons]], and it also allows players to make drinks out of food items.
** '''Recycle Shop''' allows players to exchange excess items for other items. The more items exchanged, the better the items available will be. Players may also trade items for Prize Tickets (more kinds of tickets can be unlocked by a team's rank; for example, Silver Tickets are only available to teams in the Silver rank). Prize tickets can be used in a lottery, where the player gets to choose from three colors for the drawing (red, blue, and yellow). The player can sometimes get rare items this way.
* The player's team recruits can now be found in Spinda's Café (once it opens).
* Job requests can also be found here, and can be accepted or rejected by talking to the client to the left of the exit.
* Dungeons that were previously only attainable through job requests can also be found in Spinda's Juice Bar and the Recycle Shop.
* There is a new location called the '''[[Secret Bazaar]]''' which is found randomly in dungeons. It is run by {{p|Kirlia}}. The bazaar has several stalls found inside.
** {{p|Mime Jr.|Mime Jr.'s}} stall restores the team's Health Points (HP), Power Points (PP), and fill the belly for 100 [[Pokémon Dollar|Poké]].
** Swalot's ''Grab Bag Shop'' gives players Grab Bags for 100 [[Pokémon Dollar|Poké]]. They may hold useful items inside them.
** Lickilicky will clean the player's items in their inventory for 100 [[Pokémon Dollar|Poké]].
** Shedinja's gives players a chance to escape the dungeon sooner for 100 [[Pokémon Dollar|Poké]].
* A new location, '''[[Shaymin Village]]''', is unlocked after completion of the main game, featuring a tribe of {{p|Shaymin}}, where the player also allies with Team Frontier to reclaim the trail leading to the top of the nearby [[Sky Peak Station Passes|Sky Peak]] mountain. An accompanying Shaymin demonstrates its ability to instantly purify polluted environments, its use of the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} to transform into its Sky Forme, and can be later recruited into the player's party.
* Players can find a statue of {{p|Arceus}} in a new dungeon called '''[[Destiny Tower]]'''. The story here involves a new item called the '''Space Globe'''.
* Players only lose half of their money when defeated in a dungeon, instead of all of it.
* Tradeable items can be traded for any others now, provided they are available at [[Croagunk's Swap Shop]].
* Using DS Download Play, the player can send their friends a demo of the game.
* The {{p|Luxray}} and {{p|Luxio}} tribe that was the boss of [[Amp Plains]] has been replaced by the {{p|Manectric}} and {{p|Electrike}} tribe. This is possibly due to one of the starter and partner choices in this game being {{p|Shinx}}.
* A new item called the [[Sky Gift]] can be obtained in an area consisting of ten dungeons called [[Sky Peak Station Passes|Sky Peak]].
* {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} are no longer acquired with the [[Mystery Part and Secret Slab]] or in [[Final Maze]], and are now in three new dungeons called '''[[Southeastern Islands]]''', '''[[Inferno Cave]]''', and '''[[Treacherous Waters]]'''. These dungeons are unlocked through random challenges in Spinda's Cafe. But the only way to get these challenges is to unlock the Secret Rank: {{p|Suicune}} at '''[[Treacherous Waters]]''', {{p|Raikou}} at '''[[Southeastern Islands]]''' and {{p|Entei}} at '''[[Inferno Cave]]'''.
** The same applies for {{p|Mewtwo}}, but it can be fought in [[Sky Stairway]] instead.
** Jirachi is now fought in Star Cave, only accessible through Wonder Mail codes or Spinda's Café. The Special Episode "Bidoof's Wish" must be completed first.
* Occasionally bottles containing job requests will wash up along the beach. Upon finding a bottle the player has the option to take or reject the request. Rejected jobs remain on the beach until taken. However, if the player wants, they can accept the job and then delete it to remove the bottle.
* Some of the items found in a dungeon might not be what they seem to be. These items are called [[Lookalike Item]]s. For example, a blue [[Berry]] found in a dungeon might not be of the healing [[Oran Berry|Oran]] variety, but the damaging Or'''e'''n.

==Other minor differences with Time and Darkness==
* When the player robs a {{p|Kecleon}} in Time/Darkness he says "Robbed! I've been robbed! Catch the thief!". In Sky, he says, "My precious merchandise! Catch the thief!" instead.
* When the player recruits a new Pokémon, if the team is full, it allows the player to choose who they would like to send back to the guild, instead of immediately sending the new recruit back. Likewise, the same goes if the player tries to do an escort mission and the team is full.
* The amount of time it takes to save the player's game is much shorter.
* When saving their game, the player can choose whether they want to continue playing or return to the main menu.
* When the team's leader tries to switch places with a teammate while they are on a terrain the teammate cannot normally walk on, the teammate will warp right back to them, whereas in previous games it would warp them to a random spot.

==Plot==
{{main|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness#Plot}}
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with the {{player}} having been washed ashore by a storm. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. The [[Relic Fragment]] is stolen by {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Koffing}}, members of [[Team Skull]], which the player helps recover. After a brief exchange the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild, the partner loves legend and lore and their life dream is to find what their personal treasure, the Relic Fragment belongs to. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, joins the Guild as a new team with the player.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}}, the kindhearted Guildmaster, {{mdc|Chatot|2}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{p|Bidoof}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, the Guild Chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Loudred}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.
The player discovers not too long after that he/she has the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, which is known as the [[Dimensional Scream]].

===Special episodes===
During the course of the game, players can engage in various scenarios that expand upon the story of some of the different characters.

==Connectivity==
This game is capable of trading items with {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}. Rescues may also be carried out between the three. If a rescue mail is sent from Sky to Time or Darkness, the mail will appear to have come from either Time or Darkness.
