Gengar is one of the most collected Pokémon in the TCG, with chase cards spanning everything from the vintage Gym and Neo sets to the latest Mega Evolution releases. Here are the ten most expensive Gengar cards on the market right now.
They're ranked by current ungraded price, with the PSA 10 figure listed alongside so you can see what a top grade adds.
How to read this: Prices reflect recent ungraded sales. The PSA 10 column shows what a perfect graded copy goes for — some modern promos and Prize Pack exclusives have too few graded copies for a reliable figure.

#1 Gengar #H9
- PSA 10
- $25,515
- HP
- 100
- Illustrator
- Kyoko Umemoto
- Poké-POWERManipulateWhen you play Gengar from your hand to evolve your Active Pokémon, you may put a Basic Pokémon (excluding Baby Pokémon) from your discard pile onto your Bench. Then flip 3 coins. For each heads, attach a basic Energy card from your discard pile to that Pokémon.
- Hydrokinesis40 dmgFlip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned. If tails, it's now Confused.
Gengar sits to the right of this card with a menacing grin, staring towards the ethereal scene to the left. The retro holographic pattern makes this card the top Gengar chase.
#2 Mega Gengar ex #284
- PSA 10
- $2,992
- HP
- 350
- Illustrator
- danciao
- AbilityShadowy ConcealmentIf one of your Psychic Pokémon is Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent's Pokémon ex, that player takes one fewer Prize card. The effect doesn't stack.
- Void Gale230 dmgMove an Energy from this Pokémon to one of your Benched Pokémon.
Mega Gengar ex sits atop a cauldron-like globe which emits red and green vapour.
The unblinking third eye sits menacingly in the middle of the card, looking off into the distance. This is the latest Gengar card, and already it's jumped to second in ungraded price.
#3 Gengar & Mimikyu GX #165
- PSA 10
- $8,137
- HP
- 240
- Illustrator
- Midori Harada
- Poltergeist50× dmgYour opponent reveals their hand. This attack does 50 damage for each Trainer card you find there.
- Horror House GXYour opponent can't play any cards from their hand during their next turn. With one extra Psychic Energy attached, each player draws until they hold 7 cards.
Gengar and Mimikyu are drawn in a soft style, with black and grey shadows in the background, almost as if they're sitting in a cupboard, waiting to pounce on whoever discovers them.
#4 Gengar EX #108
- PSA 10
- $22,093
- HP
- 150
- Illustrator
- Mitsuhiro Arita
- Poltergeist40+ dmgLook at your opponent's hand. This attack does 40 damage plus 10 more for each Trainer card in it.
- Prize Count60+ dmgIf you have more Prize cards left than your opponent, this does 60 damage plus 40 more.
I can't say I like this card.
Gengar is depicted in a 3D art style, rather bulbous, with a glittering holo effect surround. They're looking directly at us, but are distinctly not scary and almost cute.
#5 Dark Gengar (1st Edition) #6
- PSA 10
- $16,756
- HP
- 70
- Illustrator
- Aya Kusube
- Pokémon PowerDeep SleepWhile any Dark Gengar is in play, each player flips 2 coins for each of their Asleep Pokémon at the end of every turn. If either is tails, that Pokémon stays Asleep. Stops working if Dark Gengar is Asleep, Confused or Paralyzed.
- Pull In30 dmgYou may switch one of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with the Defending Pokémon (before damage). Either way, the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep.
Dark Gengar, with a deep purple hue and distinctly glassy pale eyes, has a distinctly sinister grin. Some light purple holo in the background really completes this card.
#6 Gengar (Prerelease Staff) #SWSH241
- PSA 10
- $6,194
- HP
- 120
- Illustrator
- Uta
- AbilityNetherworld GateOnce during your turn, if this Pokémon is in your discard pile, you may put it onto your Bench — then place 3 damage counters on it.
- Screaming CirclePut 2 damage counters on your opponent's Active Pokémon for each of their Benched Pokémon.
Gengar looks as if it's pouncing towards you, accelerating away from the moonlit gate in the background. The vertical holo in the background accentuates the balloon-like body.
#7 Gengar VMAX (Prize Pack) #157
- PSA 10
- not available
- HP
- 320
- Illustrator
- 5ban Graphics
- Fear and Panic60× dmgThis attack does 60 damage for each of your opponent's Pokémon V and Pokémon-GX in play.
- G-Max Swallow Up250 dmgDuring your next turn, this Pokémon can't attack.
This could be the pinnacle of 5ban Graphics' in-house design team. The huge tongue, leading down into the depths of its digestive system, really leads us in to the centre of the card.
Gengar is not scary, and rather inviting on this card! The colourful swirls enveloping the Gigantamax Gengar really complete the look.
#8 Gengar (Reverse Holo) #11
- PSA 10
- $7,462
- HP
- 80
- Illustrator
- Keiji Kinebuchi
- Pokémon PowerCurseOnce during your turn before attacking, you may move 1 damage counter from one of your opponent's Pokémon to another — even if it would Knock Out the second. Unusable while Gengar has a Special Condition.
- Dark Mind30 dmgIf your opponent has Benched Pokémon, choose one and deal 10 damage to it (no Weakness/Resistance).
This vintage design almost focuses more on the card, with a busy firework holo and a plastic-looking Gengar, with pearly-white teeth, sat on what looks like a tree trunk. I love the holo, but I'm less of a fan of the Gengar design myself.
#9 Gengar VMAX #271
- PSA 10
- $2,577
- HP
- 320
- Illustrator
- Sowsow
- Fear and Panic60× dmgThis attack does 60 damage for each of your opponent's Pokémon V and Pokémon-GX in play.
- G-Max Swallow Up250 dmgDuring your next turn, this Pokémon can't attack.
The tongue is back! But this time the scene around Gengar evokes more of a destructive but playful style, enveloping and consuming everything within reach.
#10 Sabrina's Gengar (1st Edition) #14
- PSA 10
- $27,722
- HP
- 80
- Illustrator
- Ken Sugimori
- Pokémon PowerPain AmplifierPut a damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon that already has any damage counters on it.
- Call of the Night40 dmgUnless this Knocks Out the Defending Pokémon, flip 2 coins. If both are heads, your opponent shuffles their Active Pokémon and all attached cards into their deck.
Now this card really is a classic vintage design. A simple depiction of our king Gengar, with a beautiful celestial holo in the background.
I love the simplicity of design — it works so well on this vintage card.
Vintage vs Modern Gengar Cards
One pattern stands out: the vintage cards — Skyridge, FireRed & LeafGreen and Gym Heroes — carry huge PSA 10 premiums, since clean copies are rare. The modern hits like Mega Gengar ex trade much closer to their ungraded price.
