Generation 7
Sun

Should you feel yourself attacked by a sudden chill, it is evidence of an approaching Gengar. There is no escaping it. Give up.

Moon

It apparently wishes for a traveling companion. Since it was once human itself, it tries to create one by taking the lives of other humans.

Ultra Sun

You can hear tales told all over the world about how Gengar will pay a visit to children who are naughty.

Ultra Moon

Even your home isn’t safe. Gengar will lurk in whatever dark corner of a room it can find and wait for its chance to catch its prey.

Let’s Go, Pikachu!, Let’s Go, Eevee!

A Gengar is close by if you feel a sudden chill. It may be trying to lay a curse on you.

Generation 8
Sword

On the night of a full moon, if shadows move on their own and laugh, it must be Gengar’s doing.

Shield

It is said to emerge from darkness to steal the lives of those who become lost in mountains.
