Mega Gengar ex

Mega Gengar ex has appeared in several sets: Phantasmal Flames (PFL 56) and Ascended Heroes (ASC 125). It is the same card every time — it plays the same, only the artwork and the price change. Here is what it does once it is on the table.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • It has an Ability, Shadowy Concealment. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
  • Mega Darkrai ex runs it in 3 of the 22 lists we have read, seen across 3 different tournaments.
  • Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes two Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.
  • It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Haunter to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
  • Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 1,386 tournament lists we have read, 295 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
