5 facts about this card
Card History
This card is the holo rare Gengar from the 2020 Sword & Shield base set, listed as card 85/202 in the official set checklist, making it one of the era’s early Psychic-stage evolutions collectors remember from the very start of Sword & Shield.
Artist
The artwork for Sword & Shield Gengar #85 is credited to Eri Yamaki, and Japanese card archives also tie this exact illustration to the original Japanese Sword set release, giving the card a direct link to the set’s first printing lineage.
In-Game
Gengar gained its Gigantamax form in Pokémon Sword and Shield, so this base-set holo arrived in the same generation that gave the species one of its most dramatic modern redesigns.
Card History
Gengar’s anime profile got a major boost in Pokémon Journeys, where Ash caught and used a Gengar on his climb to the top of the World Coronation Series, adding extra nostalgia and visibility for collectors chasing Gengar cards from the Sword & Shield era.
Cultural Impact
Gengar has become one of Pokémon’s signature spooky icons, with its long-running popularity, Halloween associations, and instantly recognizable grin helping even a regular holo like this feel like a character card collectors gravitate toward.
