*Gengar could be seen as a counterpart to [[Alakazam]]. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, which can only be achieved by trading, both have mega evolution, Gengar is weak against Psychic moves and Alakazam is weak against Ghost moves, so they are weak and at the same time strong against each other. They have the same length, and both get smaller when they mega evolve. Their base friendship is also the same, with 70. In the animé episode: ''The ancient puzzle of Pokémopolis'' there are a Gengar and a Alakazam put against each other. Since Generation VI, they both have a Base stat total of 500. Both are weak to Dark type Pokémon. | |||
