In ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', Gengar was the second Pokémon Ash used during his Masters Eight Tournament match against {{an|Cynthia}}. It initially battled against her {{p|Roserade}} and managed to {{status|burn}} it with Will-O-Wisp and landed a Shadow Ball, despite taking damage from Leaf Storm before Roserade was recalled in favor of {{p|Spiritomb}}. While Gengar managed to deal some super effective damage with {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}, it fell for a {{m|Sucker Punch}} in the process and was taken down as a result. | In ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', Gengar was the second Pokémon Ash used during his Masters Eight Tournament match against {{an|Cynthia}}.

In [[JN129]], Gengar was the second Pokémon Ash used in his Masters Eight Tournament match against Leon. It first faced against {{p|Inteleon}}, taking a few blows from its Counter Shield strategy with Aqua Jet before Gigantamaxing. Gengar then proved to be a tough opponent in its Gigantamax form and was able to successfully defeat the Secret Agent Pokémon, despite taking heavy hits in the process from its {{m|Snipe Shot}} and {{m|Dark Pulse}}, which resulted in Gengar losing its Gigantamax status earlier than expected. Next it battled against {{p|Mr. Rime}}, who managed to {{status|freeze}} Gengar and defeat it soon afterwards with a super effective [[terrain]]-boosted {{m|Expanding Force}}, although not without first getting its {{m|Freeze-Dry}} disabled by {{a|Cursed Body}}, much to Leon's surprise. | In [[JN129]], Gengar was the second Pokémon Ash used in his Masters Eight Tournament match against Leon.

In [[JN132]], Gengar appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's {{p|Charizard}}. After Ash had won the battle, Gengar joined him and the rest of his team for the awards ceremony. | ||

Ash left Gengar, along with the rest of his ''Journeys'' team, at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] sometime prior to [[JN137]], as he decided he wanted to start rotating his team for his new journey. | |||
In [[JN144]], Gengar was shown to have rejoined Ash's team. During the episode, it was sent out to help search for a Pokémon that kept stealing heart-shaped objects from people's homes. It was quickly discovered to be a {{p|Banette}}, which escaped their multiple attempts to stop it. The next day, they were able to track it down and give it Misty's heart-shaped hairpiece, which resembled the one it had worn when it was still a {{pkmn|doll|Substitute doll}}. They then went out looking for its owner, but were unable to find her by the end of the day. Banette flew off, and Gengar, frustrated, chased after it. It gave the Marionette Pokémon words of encouragement before it left for the next town to continue its search. Upon returning to Ash, it learned they had found its owner, [[Nurse Joy]], and Gengar, Ash, and Dragonite chased after Banette in order to bring it back. Finally together again, Banette and Nurse Joy shared a heartfelt reunion. | |||

Gengar was once loyal to its previous Trainer, obeying his instructions to remain at the future site of the [[Cerise Laboratory]]. Over time, however, Gengar became resentful of its old Trainer, even to the point of attacking him upon seeing him again and only calming down once he ran away. It grew bitter and developed a hostile nature against all humans, repeatedly attacking them with its powers. After it bonded with Ash and was caught, it became friendlier, though it still seems to have a mischievous streak, such as when it showed its concern for Ash by dumping a pile of apples on top of him, and when it scared [[Ren]] and [[Chloe]] in ''[[JN057|Memories of a Warming Kindness!]]'' by phasing through a wall. In ''[[JN069|Errand Endurance!]]'', Gengar kept scaring {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}}, {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}, and a {{p|Geodude}} by repeatedly phasing through walls while moving objects with {{m|Psychic}}. | Gengar was once loyal to its previous Trainer, obeying his instructions to remain at the future site of the [[Cerise Laboratory]].

Gengar dislikes being accused of something it didn't do, as seen in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', when it appeared out of nowhere behind Ash and hit him with {{m|Shadow Ball}} after overhearing him accusing it of stealing Goh's Pokémon's food, and again in ''[[JN059|When a House is Not a Home!]]'', when Gengar appeared out of nowhere behind Ren and began to hold onto him ominously after being accused of bringing Grookey to the lab, only letting him go after he apologized. | Gengar dislikes being accused of something it didn't do, as seen in ''[[JN023|Panic in the Park!]]'', when it appeared out of nowhere behind Ash and hit him with {{m|Shadow Ball}} after overhearing him accusing it of stealing Goh's Pokémon's food, and again in ''[[JN059|When a House is Not a Home!]]'', when Gengar appeared out of nowhere behind Ren and began to hold onto him ominously after being accused of bringing Grookey to the lab, only letting him go after he apologized. | ||

In {{pkmn|battle}}, Gengar takes advantage of its {{type|Ghost}} abilities, allowing it to easily escape snares and confound opponents, as seen in ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', where it was able to escape the tail hold of [[Visquez]]'s {{p|Raichu}} simply by phasing through it. However, in the same episode, it was revealed to have trouble combating opponents that can match or exceed its speed such as her {{p|Electrode}}, and later Korrina's {{p|Mienshao}} and {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} as well as Volkner's {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Rotom|Fan}} {{p|Rotom}}. It also has a habit of getting up close to its opponent and taunting them when starting a battle. | In {{pkmn|battle}}, Gengar takes advantage of its {{type|Ghost}} abilities, allowing it to easily escape snares and confound opponents, as seen in ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'', where it was able to escape the tail hold of [[Visquez]]'s {{p|Raichu}} simply by phasing through it.
