Gengar (Mystery Dungeon)

Gengar is a /-type Pokémon. He is a member of Team Meanies, which appears in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate! In both versions of the game and the manga adaptation, it is revealed Gengar is actually a human cursed by a Ninetales at the cost of his partner, a Gardevoir. 
==Biography==
Gengar was originally a human much like the protagonist of the game. Long before the events of the first game, Gengar had a partner, a Gardevoir. During one of their adventures, Gengar touched one of the tails of a Ninetales, invoking her curse. However Gengar pushed Gardevoir, killing her and converting the human into a Gengar. 
Throughout the protagonist's adventures, Gengar and his Rescue Team, Team Meanies attempt bully their way to the top. However he and his team are beaten by the player. After Zapdos learns the player is actually a human converted into a Pokémon, he sends the team to meet Xatu, a Pokémon who would know the player's origins. When Xatu tells the player that the human cursed by a Ninetales is related to the natural disasters that had plagued the world recently, Gengar had heard this tale. It was the next day that Gengar told the town that the player is the cursed human, everyone reluctantly attacks. 
Gengar is not heard from for some time. During the battle with Rayquaza, the player passes out, where Gengar invades the player's dreams and attempts to take him/her off somewhere. 
===Anime Adaptation===
Gengar, along with Medicham and Ekans, is a part of Team Meanies. When the Whiscash Elder sent the teams to find Pichu's brother, Pikachu, Team Meanies went to Kecleon Brothers' store and bought everything. Soon after, the team attacked Team Go-Getters and snatched their berries, then took off to the mission, claiming such work needs to be left to professionals. Pichu joined them, but Gengar lied to him that he heard Pikachu and sealed the tunnel (in which Pichu was being in) with a rock, using Confusion. However, Gengar, as well as the rest of the team, got attacked by the rampaging Skarmory and lost the battle, but blames the loss on his companions. Team Go-Getters came and Squirtle offered Gengar the berry, which most of them were eaten by Ekans, claiming Pokémon should stick together. Seeing the wisdom in those words, Gengar ate the berry and went away with his team off.
