Gengar was one of the earliest designs conceived for Red and Blue, and was described by Pokémon artist Ken Sugimori as one of his favorites. In the series' canon, it is classified as a Ghost and Poison-type Pokémon. Gengar is a round, ghost-like being that evolves from the Pokémon Gastly and Haunter. Gengar has several alternate forms within the series, such as the in-battle transformations known as Mega Gengar and Gigantamax Gengar. Gengar also appears in the Pokémon anime series, where it is used by series protagonist Ash Ketchum.
