Gengar full art cards (the SR, SA and SAR prints) have been chase cards in the Japanese Pokemon TCG for over a decade, and the MEGA Dream ex set (November 28, 2025) added the newest Mega Gengar ex prints to the lineup. Eight Gengar chase prints, from the vintage Gym era to the MEGA Dream ex era, and the gap between the cheapest and the most expensive isn’t small.
We ship Japanese singles and sealed product out of Tokyo. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.

Gengar Full Art Cards: Every Japanese SR / SA / SAR Print
Collectors use “full art” for prints whose artwork fills the whole card face. Japanese sets do not print those words: the official card database prints only a rarity code, and the full-art treatments are the SR (full-art ex and Supporter cards), SAR (Special Art Rare), AR (Art Rare), CHR / CSR (Character Rare) and the gold UR and rainbow HR printings. This page lists every Gengar print of those rarities that our Japanese database checks cover.
| Card | Set mark · number | Rarity | Illustrator | Our listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gengar EX | Phantom Gate (XY4) · 090/088 | SR (secret) | — | PSA 10 back order |
| Gengar & Mimikyu GX | Tag Bolt (SM9) · 103/095 | SA / SR | — | PSA 10 back order |
| Gengar VMAX | High-Class Deck “Gengar VMAX” (SGG) · 020/019 | SA | sowsow | PSA 10 back order |

For every Japanese Gengar print compared side by side, see our Gengar PSA 10 guide. The newest set on this list, MEGA Dream ex (released November 28, 2025), produced both the SAR and the MA Mega Gengar ex.
Gengar VMAX SA: The Alternate-Art Chase
The alternate-art chase from the Gengar VMAX deck is the Gengar VMAX SA, 020/019, illustrated by sowsow and classified as HR (Hyper Rare) by Japanese resellers. It comes from the High-Class Deck “Gengar VMAX” (set code SGG), released May 28, 2021 as a 60-card pre-constructed deck alongside the Eevee Heroes subset. The deck also included a regular Gengar VMAX at 002/019, Crobat V, Houndoom, Yveltal, and 11 Darkness Energy built around the “Single Strike” mechanic.
PSA 10 asking prices for the 020/019 SA cluster between ¥462,000 and ¥650,000 as of early August 2026 — a single isolated ask above ¥1,000,000 looks like noise and is excluded here. A single raw listing asked about ¥155,555 on SNKRDUNK in early August 2026.
A PSA 10 is offered on our site as a back order.
There are two Gengar VMAX prints in this deck: the regular 002/019 and the alternate-art SA 020/019. The English equivalents are Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike 157/264 (regular Rare Holo VMAX) and 271/264 (Rare Secret alternate art) — if you’ve seen this card referenced elsewhere with an “SWSH086” promo number, that print doesn’t appear to exist; the confirmed English versions are the Fusion Strike numbers above.
One piece of trivia worth knowing if you collect by type: Bulbapedia notes that this card, along with Gengar V from the same deck, was among the first Gengar cards in the TCG to acknowledge Gengar’s Poison typing.
The 2014–2016 Vintage Era: Gengar EX and M Gengar EX
Before Mega Gengar returned in 2025, the vintage EX era produced two of the pricier Gengar cards on this list — both Japan-first releases with different English fates.
The Gengar EX, 033/088 (RR), comes from Phantom Gate (XY4), released September 13, 2014. Note: the M Gengar EX in the same set is a separate, adjacent card numbered 034/088 — don’t conflate the two when checking a listing. Phantom Gate’s English counterpart, Phantom Forces, released November 5, 2014, but the card pools aren’t 1:1 — Phantom Gate ran 119 cards in Japan versus 88 in the English set. A PSA 10 is offered as a back order, making it one of the pricier cards on this list. Phantom Gate also carries a separate, far scarcer secret-rare Gengar EX SR print at 090/088 — the numbering above the set’s 88-card total marks it as a secret slot, distinct from the 033/088 RR above — and a PSA 10 of that SR is offered as a back order, the priciest confirmed Gengar print we list.
The M Gengar EX, 049/131, is a Japan-exclusive card from the Premium Champion Pack “EX×M×BREAK” (CP4), released April 16, 2016. It’s a 220 HP Psychic-type M-Evolution Pokemon with the attack “Phantom Gate” — the same name as the XY4 set it echoes, though the two are unrelated products. No official English release of CP4 has been found; treat this as Japan-only. A PSA 10 is offered as a back order.

Mega Gengar Card: The New MEGA Dream ex Era
The current Mega Gengar card of record comes from MEGA Dream ex (set code M2a), released November 28, 2025 — 193 base cards plus 57 secret rares for 250 total, and the set that introduced a brand-new rarity tier, MA (Mega Attack Rare), for the first time. The official card database lists the SAR as illustrated by danciao.
Mega Gengar ex appears twice in this set. The SAR at 240/193 is a Stage 2, Darkness-type Pokemon with 350 HP and the ability “Shadow Hide” (かげかくし) — while it’s in play, if your Dark-type Pokemon is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent’s Pokemon ex, the opponent takes one fewer Prize card than normal. As of August 6, 2026, SNKRDUNK raw asking prices for this card ran ¥41,000–¥55,000 across five listings, with PSA 10 clustering around ¥90,000 — a single outlier ask near ¥559,000 looks disconnected from that cluster and isn’t representative. A PSA 10 is offered as a back order.
The MA at 230/193 shares the same 350 HP, Darkness typing, and Shadow Hide ability, with an attack resellers list as “Void Gale.” It’s the more accessible of the two on the open market, and a PSA 10 is offered as a back order.
Worth knowing if you’re building a MEGA-era Gengar collection: the same Mega Gengar ex character also headlined a separate pre-constructed product, Starter Set MEGA “Mega Gengar ex,” released September 5, 2025. It’s a ¥1,800 MSRP, 29-card-type deck built around Darkness-type support, includes a play mat and Pokemon coin, and its full-illustration Ghost-type support card has been called out by Japanese coverage as a collector-notable pull.
For the full breakdown of what else pulls from this set, read our MEGA Dream ex complete guide and our notes on MEGA Dream ex pull rates and best cards. If you’re comparing box prices across the MEGA era sets, our 2026 MEGA booster box price index tracks that separately.
A Budget Modern Chase: Gengar ex (Wild Force)
If you want a current-era SR-rarity Gengar without paying MEGA-era prices, the Gengar ex, 088/071 (SR), from Wild Force (set code SV5K, released January 26, 2024) is the option. It carries the ability “Corroding Curse” (むしばむのろい) — each time the opponent attaches an Energy card from their hand to a Pokemon, that Pokemon gets 2 damage counters — and the attack “Trick Step” (トリックステップ), 160 damage, with the option to move one Energy from the opponent’s Active Pokemon to a Benched one.
There’s no direct 1:1 English print of this card. The English Twilight Masquerade set (May 24, 2024) draws its card pool from the Japanese Crimson Haze (SV5a) and Mask of Change (SV6) sets rather than Wild Force, so treat English availability for this specific Gengar ex as unconfirmed. A PSA 10 is offered as a back order.
See our PSA 10 Mega Pokemon cards guide for how grading premiums compare across current-era SR and SAR chase cards like this one.
Two More Confirmed Gengar Prints
Two more confirmed Gengar prints round out the verified list: the regular Tag Bolt print and the Shiny Star V print.
Gengar & Mimikyu GX, 038/095 (RR / Double Rare), comes from Tag Bolt (SM9), released December 7, 2018 — a Psychic-type TAG TEAM card pairing two Ghost-type Pokemon from the core games, with a Special Art SA/SR version at 103/095. Reseller coverage frames Tag Bolt cards as no longer tournament-legal and unlikely to see a reprint of this exact TAG TEAM, though that’s reseller commentary rather than an official ruling. A graded PSA 10 of the 103/095 SA/SR version is a back order, and the regular 038/095 RR is ¥59,779 (~$388).
Gengar, 071/190 (R), from Shiny Star V (S4a, released November 20, 2020), is the plain, non-shiny Gengar in a set otherwise known for its shiny chase cards — per the official card database, it’s a Stage 2, 110 HP Pokemon with the ability “Life Shaker” (moves damage counters between your own Pokemon) and the attack “Hypnotic Wave” (90 damage, puts the Defending Pokemon to Sleep).

Are there new Mega Gengar cards?
Yes. MEGA Dream ex (M2a), released November 28, 2025, introduced Mega Gengar ex in two versions: an SAR at 240/193 and an MA-rarity print at 230/193, using the newly introduced MA (Mega Attack Rare) rarity tier. Both prints are offered as PSA 10 back orders (SAR and MA); a separate pre-constructed Starter Set MEGA “Mega Gengar ex” deck released in September 2025.
How do I buy Gengar cards from Japan?
We ship Japanese Pokemon singles and sealed product, including graded PSA 10 Gengar cards, from Tokyo with tracked delivery. Check our PSA 10 collection page for current listings, or submit a sourcing request through Quick Order for a specific card that isn’t listed.
Is a PSA 10 Gengar card worth it?
It depends on the print. For high-value cards like the Gengar VMAX SA or the 2014 Gengar EX, PSA 10 grading commands a substantial premium given how easily older textured foils show wear. For budget prints like the MEGA Dream ex MA or the Wild Force SR, graded examples are typically priced closer to raw, making PSA 10 a lower-risk way to buy in.
