Ash's Gengar (Japanese: サトシのゲンガー Satoshi's Gangar) was the second Pokémon caught by Ash in the new series, and his fifty-fourth overall.
History
As a wild Pokémon
Three years ago, Gengar originally belonged to a Trainer who told it to wait for him at the place that would later become the Sakuragi Institute. Not knowing that its Trainer had no intention to return, Gengar obediently waited for months, even staying at the building as it was converted into Professor Sakuragi's research center.
Gengar first appeared in SS011, where it was seen causing trouble at the Sakuragi Institute. Go tried to catch it, but Gengar simply deflected all the Poké Balls he threw at it. It was eventually driven back when Koharu commanded Yamper to use Spark, causing it to flee. It was later seen at the end of the episode, perched atop of the institute.
Gengar briefly reappeared at the end of SS014, where it phased through the wall and watched Ash, Go and their Pokémon after they had returned from Unova.
Gengar reappeared in SS016, where it once again caused trouble at the institute and subsequently hid in Ash's shadow. When Ash ran into Gengar's former Trainer, it heard him talking about its abandonment, and started attacking him. When the Trainer fled in fear, Gengar ran off as well. Team Rocket found Gengar and asked it to join them, and when it refused, they instead tried to capture it. Ash showed up and managed to free Gengar, even convincing it to fight Team Rocket alongside him. After defeating Team Rocket's two Dusclops, Ash asked Gengar come with him, but he collapsed before it could respond. When Ash later woke up at the institute, Gengar dropped a Poké Ball for him, showing that it had accepted to join his team. As such, Ash then proceeded to catch Gengar.
Personality and characteristics
Gengar was previously shown to be loyal to its previous trainer, as seen during a flashback in SS016 where it obeyed his instruction to remain at Sakuragi Institute. Over time, however, Gengar became resentful of its old trainer to the point of attacking him upon seeing him again, only calming down once he ran away. It grew bitter and got a hostile nature against all the humans and kept attacking them with its powers. It had few stress marks under its eyes along with it having an unusual color, a light purple instead of the dark purple that is more common with its species. While it lost the stress marks upon its capture by Ash, it retains its different color. After it bonded with Ash and was caught, it became a friendlier Pokemon, though it still seems to have a mischievous streak, as seen where it showed its concern for his sick new Trainer by dumping a pile of apples directly on top of him.
