About Gengar
Quite a few Gengar cards play with night, shadows and moonlight. That makes for binder pages with a coherent overall look, clearly different from bright Pikachu or Eevee pages.
Gengar in the trading card game by the numbers
In the catalogue (English cards, data as of 1 October 2026) 51 cards have “Gengar” in the name. They are spread over 33 sets from 14 series and date from 1999 to 2026. All cards containing the name are counted, including variants such as ex cards or cards showing several Pokémon.

How to plan a Gengar binder
At nine pockets per page, all 51 cards would fill about 6 pages. For a gift that is far too much: a single page of nine different designs looks finished at once, and the collection can be extended later.
Gastly and Haunter cards do not belong in a Gengar binder, even though they are part of the same evolution line.
Which binder size fits is covered in the Pokémon binders: which size and how many pockets?.
