07Why Collectors Want It

Final evolution of the Gastly line — home to the prized Fossil holo and a long run of EX/GX/V and Gengar VMAX chase prints.
Required for any complete Gengar master set across eras.
Collectors of the HS—Triumphant set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Gengar with 130 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Hurl into Darkness Cost: Psychic

Look at your opponent's hand and choose a number of Pokémon you find there up to the number of Psychic Energy attached to Gengar. Put the Pokémon you chose in the Lost Zone.

Cursed Drop Cost: Psychic + Colorless

Put 4 damage counters on your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like.

Weakness: Darkness ×2
Resistance: Colorless -20
Retreat cost: 0

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
