This card depicts it as a powerful Darkness-type Stage 2 Mega Evolution Pokémon ex with 350 HP, featuring the ability Shadowy Concealment that reduces Prize cards taken by 1 when a Pokémon is Knocked Out by opponent's Pokémon ex damage, and attack Void Gale dealing 230 damage while moving Energy.[1]

First released in the Japanese MEGA Starter Set Mega Gengar ex as part of the Phantasmal Flames expansion, with English release in Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Phantasmal Flames in 2025.[1]

• Initially buggy in Pokémon Trading Card Game Live on October 23, 2025, where Shadowy Concealment stacked and worked on non-attack KOs like poison; fixed October 25, 2025.[1]
• Considered 'broken' in early competitive play due to bug, leading to deck dominance and ban speculation.[3]
• Features artwork by 5ban Graphics in starter print, Taiga Kasai for Mega attack rare, and danciao for special illustration rare.[1]

Condition. Check for centering issues on Full Art variant, edge wear from high HP text and ability box, surface scratches on holographic foil, print lines on black background; common flaws include whitening on borders and holo bleeding.

Storage. Use semi-rigid or top-loader sleeves in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation; avoid stacking without dividers for Full Art cards.

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern matches official Phantasmal Flames Double Rare Full Art; check card number 056/094 and set symbol; fakes often have blurry text, incorrect font on 'Mega Evolution ex rule', or mismatched energy costs; use blacklight for genuine Pokémon foil glow.
