Gengar [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Gengar debuted in the very first Sword & Shield TCG expansion, tying one of the franchise’s most beloved Ghost-types to the launch set of a brand-new era for collectors.
Set Lore
The English Sword & Shield printing of Gengar was first released in the Sword & Shield set and was later reprinted as SWSH Black Star Promo SWSH052, giving this artwork a neat place in early Gen 8 TCG history.
Artist
Eri Yamaki’s artwork gives this card a sly, shadowy personality that fits Gengar perfectly, making the reverse holo version especially appealing when the foil catches the light around the art box.
In-Game
Gengar gained a Gigantamax form in the Pokémon Sword and Shield video games, so this card arrived during the same generation that gave the Shadow Pokémon one of its most dramatic modern redesigns.
Cultural Impact
Gengar is so iconic among Ghost-types that it is frequently used in Halloween-themed Pokémon promotions, which helps cards like this stay popular with collectors far beyond competitive play.
