About This Card

This Gengar is a standout piece from the 2023 Trick or Trade BOOster Bundle — Pokémon's annual Halloween-themed promotional release — and it carries one of the most charming and collectible distinguishing features in the modern TCG: the exclusive orange Pikachu-shaped jack-o'-lantern stamp printed on the bottom-right corner of the artwork frame. This pumpkin stamp is unique to the Trick or Trade printing and immediately sets it apart from the standard Lost Origin version of the same card, making it a must-have for Gengar collectors and Halloween Pokémon enthusiasts alike. Illustrated by Narumi Sato, the artwork is presented with the classic Galaxy / Cosmos Holofoil pattern — a beloved, nostalgic finish that scatters a deep, starfield-like shimmer across the card face.

This copy has been professionally graded by CGC and awarded a grade of 9 — Mint (Certification #6156792078), reflecting a card with strong eye appeal, well-centered artwork, clean surfaces, and sharp corners with only the most minor allowable imperfections. While raw Trick or Trade copies circulate in high seasonal volume, a professionally slabbed CGC 9 eliminates the condition risk that comes with ungraded copies and provides a premium, display-ready piece for any dedicated Gengar collection.

On the competitive side, Netherworld Gate is one of the most unique abilities in the game — self-reviving from the discard pile directly onto your Bench for just 3 damage counters is a resilient, hard-to-answer threat that gives Gengar a persistent board presence. Screaming Circle's scaling damage output based on your opponent's Bench size adds a punishing late-game dimension that rewards playing against wide board strategies.
