Gengar vs King Boo (Mario vs Pokemon)

"Ghosts are all around us. Look for them, and you will find them." -Ruskin Bond

Gengar,The Shadow Pokémon King Boo,The Master of Illusions Fear is something that has been with Humans for a long time,it's a Natural emotion and nothing else provokes such emotions more than the supernatural,everyone has heard Ghost stories at least a day in their life and these two bring those buried childhood fears directly into reality,Will Gengar steal the AFTERlife form his Opponent? Or will Boo find himself a new painting for his mansion? Time to Find out! Before We Start… Gengar and King Boo are being examined from most of their Media. The main focus will of course be on the mainline Pokémon and Mario games of course, but the Pokémon spinoff games, the Pokémon anime & manga,Mario Party, RPGS, and even Paper Mario (more on that later) will be used,among other Secondary material,we will also composite EVERY Gengar due to it being a species and not just one guy. We will however not give King Boo stuff like Mario-Kun for more than obvious reasons,they are borderline Completly different characters,there are certain Blogs and Vsbattle pages that were used for a few calcs and minor information,such as the Chaos vs. Kyogre Blog,Bowser vs Eggman Blog,King K. Rool vs King Pig Blog and Shadow vs Mewtwo Blog. But besides that it's a fairly clear cut Matchup when it comes to rules and what counts and what dosen't. Background Gengar “My name is Gengar! Good to see you, hee-hee!” Gengar is a Ghost and Poison Type Pokemon with a Height of 1.5 m and a Weights 40.5 kg,Gengars are typically mean-spirited and enjoy tormenting people by hurting them and overtaking them. Its body is made of poison gas, 95% of it at least. The other 5% is supposedly the souls of those who died of said gas. They are most active during full moons, creeping out in the dead of night and disguising themselves as shadows; they may even enters sleeping homes to lurk in the dark. They will mimic every movement their targets make until they lower their guards. Then, they strike, draining their victims' life force as sustenance. Gengar are also said to attack those who are hopelessly lost and afraid in the mountains. Many Gengar have learned to feed on fear, simply following victims in the shadows and mimicking them almost, but not quite perfectly. This cultivates great paranoia in victims, which they can then feast on. Other tricks Gengar have been known to use include: laughing maniacally in the shadows, lighting their red eyes in the darkness, and chanting mysteriously in the distance. In some places, parents warn that Gengar appear at night in the bedrooms of naughty children. A famous folk tale tells of a Gengar that once used to be human, attacking people so it could have a friend. In spite of their infamous insidiousness and cruelty, domesticated Gengar that are being kindly looked after by their trainers are much friendlier, and their smiles appear to be less creepy. Though don't think they are saints now,Gengars being Mischievous are in their Nature and they will always take the chance to spook you anytime,anywhere. King Boo "I must say... I despise the way you vacuumed up all my friends!" While his Origins are full of mystery,and his Appearance too,he keeps changing,King Boo is the king of...Well,Boo's,a race of Ghosts that Haunt the Mushroom Kingdom usually residing in haunted Mansions,Hoping to capture Luigi,King Boo sends him a letter. The message states that Luigi has won a mansion in a contest and provides the location of the prize. Luigi asks his brother Mario to investigate the mansion and says that he is arriving shortly thereafter. Mario travels to the mansion on his brother's behalf,but,right after he enters,he is instantly overwhelmed by King Boo's forces and captured. King Boo then imprisons him in a portrait. While waiting for Luigi, King Boo and his Boo minions wait behind a secret door in the floor of the Storage Room. When Luigi enters the room and reveals the secret door,the Boos spring out from the floor. However,the Boos stop their surprise attack when they notice the Poltergust 3000 on Luigi's back,given by E. Gadd so he could recapture the Portrait Ghosts and save his brother. The Poltergust 3000 is one of the few things King Boo fears, and he and the other Boos scatter and hide in the mansion. After entering the Altar, Luigi notices King Boo staring at Mario in the painting while insulting the brothers' intelligence for having fallen for his scheme. King Boo then turns around to face Luigi and states his desire to add a Luigi painting to the collection. Unfortunately King Boo's plans don't go that well as he is captured in the Poltergust 3000. Luigi quickly travels to Professor E. Gadd's lab. In the lab,Luigi connects the Poltergust to the professor's Portrificationizer, dumping its contents into the machine. Both King Boo and the fake Bowser appear on the Portificationizer portrait. With King Boo captured and Mario Saved, Professor E. Gadd hangs his new portrait in an empty room in his gallery. Experience And Skill Gengar Gengar is quite the crafty fella,usually sneaking up on people,draining victims' life force as sustenance and create a Dsturbing Feeling without even being noticied,and of course like every Pokemon,he has quite a lot of Combat Experience being trough multiple Pokemon battles over the years like Raichu,Electrode,Lucario,Mienshao and has been in many Adventures. Learning new Moves along the way and perfecting the one who they already had,and of Course he has participated of quite a few Leagues amomg the way,he was even on the Pokémon World Championship. Also he Can acquire an IQ of nearly a thousand in Mystery Dungeon. King Boo Being the Leader of The Boo race,of course King Boo has some Experience with leading and commanding an army of Boos and other ghosts. He has also shown to be capable of outsmarting Mario and Luigi on several occasions, allowing him to capture Mario more than once in a painting and even cracking through technology created by E. Gadd,he's also a Doctor because,everyone in The Mario Universe has a Degree in medicine...somehow,not to mention he's in most Sport games,so not only that but he's also really Athletic,truly the man of your dreams. Equipment Gengar Gengarite Gengarite is a special held items that Gengar may hold, and are what enables it to access its Mega Evolution. Dynamax Den Allows Pokémons to Dynamax or Gigantamax and perform Max Moves and G-Max Moves, respectively. Each Trainer can only Dynamax or Gigantamax a Pokémon once per battle. Held Items More often Than not,wild Pokemons will be found carrying a variety of Items,and of course Gengar is no different,having a few items to his name like: Bitter Berry: If the holder is confused,it will consume its held Bitter Berry and Cure it of Confusion. Chesto Berry: If the holder is asleep,it will consume its held Chesto Berry and cure it of sleep. Spoiled Apricorn: can't exactly be used to do much but it can be thrown at Pokemons to Stun them. Seed of Mastery: Seed of Mastery can be given to the captain of the Security Corps, Zisu, to have a Pokémon master a move. Exp. Candy L: it increases that Pokémon's experience by 10,000 Exp. Points. King Boo Crown Is a King really a King without his Signature Crown? Though it does keep changing a lot,sometimes it's a medieval-like gold crown and sometimes it's a imperial crown,that's most likely due to the Puple (sometimes Red) Gem in it,which has been stated to be the source for King Boo's Power. Bowser Costume You know,it's definitly very Questionable to have a Life-Size fursuit of your Boss,especially when you use it to pose it like you are close friends with the guy but oh well,that's besides the point,it's almost a perfect Replica of Bowser's not only Appearance but also powers,as you can imagine,it allows him to breath Fire as well as shoot Iceballs,he can even control the Suit without being on it. Spiked Ball One of King Boo's main weapons in all 3 Mansion Games,King Boo throws out these spike balls which carry bombs inside them. Baseball Bat BONK! Kart The Kart King Boo uses to have a little fun with his Mortal Enemies,you know as you do,atough it changes a lot Design wise (guess it really DOES belong to King Boo) that is because Karts are extremely customizable with different wheels and all but most of them have the same Function,you know,Karting and almost killing each other while doing so,atough some have a Second seat for Guests. And some of them can Glide Item Box boxes featured in the Mario Kart series. Item Boxes look like Question Mark Blocks but are transparent and often multicolored,when King Boo passes trough them he gains a Random Item form a Large item Pool,it also includes a Double Varient which gives two items,those Include: Mushroom they provide the racer with a quick spurt of acceleration when they use it, allowing the player to catch up with an opponent who is ahead of him. Double Mushroom It basically works the same way as the Normal Mushroom except it gives you a speed boost 2 times. Triple Mushroom It basically works the same way as the Normal Mushroom except it gives you a speed boost 3 times Golden Mushroom It works the same way as a normal Mushroom except it can be used over and over until the time runs out Poison Mushroom Usually, Poison Mushrooms are thrown out right in front of your kart. If you hit a Poison Mushroom, you get shrunken down to a very small size,which causes you to lose speed. Mega Mushroom After being used,the User grows bigger and their voice is deepened. In addition to enlarging the character, the Mega Mushroom allows the user to run over the other racers and flattening them for a limited time.

In this state, the user is so heavy that they knock over any rival kart they touch, bringing the rival to a stop. Invisi-Mushroom Upon being used, the Invisible Mushroom will cause the user to become invisible to all opponents for approximately seven seconds. While invisible, the user cannot be targeted by lock-on items, though they can still get hit by other hazards. Paper Mushroom You may toss it at another driver ahead of them. If successful in striking a racer, their Kart is temporarily turned into a sheet of paper, this lasting only a short time. Mushroom Powder Upon being used, the Mushroom Powder will drop behind the user's kart, producing a purple cloud on the racetrack. Any racers that run into the cloud will lose speed and will also gain a random status effect chosen from the status effects associated with Mushroom items, such as the Invisible Mushroom or the Heavy Mushroom. Mini Mushroom They can be thrown behind like Bananas, using a crosshair, where when they hit an opponent they shrink. Magnet Mushroom Once activated, the Magnet Mushroom with cover the player in a blue, misty cloud that will protect against virtually any Item thrown at them. This shield will last a good long time before it goes away,In addition to just absorbing the Item however, the user can now utilize its powers AGAINST the assailant... basically, the blue mist will dissolve the Item and put it into the hands of the driver. Green Shell The Green Shell is mainly used for as a basic offensive Item. racer can throw them in front of them at an opponent, and it will speed through the track in a straight line until It collides with other driver,It collides with an item trailed by racers,It is consumed by on-track obstacles,It ricochets off the walls five times or It falls off the course. Green Shells can also be held behind a Kart to act as a defensive Item against other enemy Double Green Shell It basically works the same way as the Normal Green Shell except there's 2 of them. Triple Green Shell It basically works the same way as the Normal Green Shells except there's 3 of them. Red Shell they can be thrown forwards, where they will home in on an opponent ahead of the user in an attempt to hit them, flipping them over if successful. However, if the leader uses a Red Shell, it will either continue to traverse the track layout or travel in a straight line. contact with a racer, projectile or even a wall will destroy it. Red Shells can also be thrown backwards, though they lose their homing ability Red Shells can also be dragged behind a racer's kart for protection against other Red Shells and other projectiles Triple Red Shell It basically works the same way as the Normal Red Shells except there's 3 of them. Spiny Shell It travels along a fixed line in the middle of the road and will flip over any racer in its path. Once it is close enough to the leader, it takes off and goes for the leader in the shortest possible distance, disregarding off roads, walls and any racers in the way,When it's above the leader, it spins around them twice before striking down on them, causing an explosion that destroys their trailed/triple items and leaves the leader stranded for a few seconds. Black Shell The Black Shell is great for taking out a group of opponents who are close together, as it has AOE damage. It can also be shot from behind to clear out any nearby racers. Double Black Shell It basically works the same way as the Normal Black Shell except there's 2 of them. Triple Black Shell It basically works the same way as the Normal Black Shell except there's 3 of them. Golden Shell Golden Shells act just like Black Shells, but instead of being thrown normally like a Green Shell, they home in on the driver in front of the player, like a Red Shell, exploding upon impact. Double Golden Shell It basically works the same way as the Normal Golden Shell except there's 2 of them. Triple Golden Shell It basically works the same way as the Normal Golden Shells except there's 3 of them. Banana King Boo can throw a Banana out in front of their kart to try to trip up the racer in front of them. They can also be deployed behind the kart, so the driver behind you will be greeted by a deadly smiling Banana and spin out. For defense, a Banana can also be deployed and suspended behind the kart. The Banana now acts as a shield against other Items such as a Red Shell or a Green Shell. Also, they can act as a barrier against opponents who try to knock you off the edge.  Triple Bananas It basically works the same way as the Normal Bananas except it has...well,3 of them. Banana Tower Works The same way as a normal banana except its bigger...that sounds so wrong. Giant Banana It's at least twenty times bigger than the ordinary Banana Peel. If a driver makes contact with the Giant Banana Peel, it will explode, and in its wake will be three normal banana peels following the victim who will be sent spinning out of control for a brief period of time. Golden Banana Works the same way as a normal banana but...Golden. Double Golden Banana It basically works the same way as the Normal Golden Banana except there's 2 of them. Triple Golden Banana It basically works the same way as the Normal Golden Banana except there's 3 of them. Banana Shot This item will lock on to a racer and when fired, it will shoot a Banana towards that racer. It will spin out the racer upon a successful hit. If the Banana hits a wall it will drop down on the floor and act as a normal banana waiting for racers to drive into the banana and spin them out. Tox Banana Shot After a few moments of driving behind an enemy vehicle,it will automatically lock on a enemy and send the homing Banana on its way. Once it hits the opponent, they get spun out like they've just slipped on a regular Banana, but the toxins also make their steering wheel go haywire for several moments. Starman When used, the Starman makes the user invincible to all items and hazards, even granting them the ability to plow through course obstacles and any driver that they come in contact with Fire Flower Once a driver is equipped with the Fire Flower, they can shoot blazing fireballs at opponents in any direction: forwards, backwards, left, right, and every other possible angle. Each fireball causes other racers to spin out. Boomerang Flower It allows the user to try to hit their opponent, getting up to three shots. After 3 shots, it will break Feather A Feather will let any racer who is equipped with it do a high jump into the air (and if that's not impressive enough, they also do a midair spin!) Super Leaf When used, a Tanooki tail will appear behind the kart. the tail will spin around the vehicle, deflecting incoming Shells and push Bananas away. After 10 seconds, the item will disappear on its own. Rabbit Ears the player can throw the Rabbit Ear backwards on an opponent to cause them to sprout rabbit ears and hop uncontrollably for seven seconds. Flaming Tender Upon being used, the Flaming Tender will temporarily set the user's kart ablaze, causing them to deal damage to any rival karts they come into contact with. Energy Drink Whenever the player obtains one from an Item Box, they may use it whenever under the effect of a status ailment afflicted from another player's item, this being successful in canceling out several different effects. Blooper Once it launches, the Blooper will go to every kart in front of them. Blooper flies around for a few seconds in front of the racers and then squirts ink all over them and their windshield, creating a distracting obstruction. Potted Piranha Plant Whenever a racer is near, the Piranha Plant will not hesitate to lash out at them with an absurd accuracy, which makes them roll over and lose valuable time and Coins. Boo It will make the user's Kart Completly invisible,While invisible, the racer cannot be hit by any Items whatsoever, and they are also not hindered by driving off-road. However, they still slow down when they crash into walls,In addition to invisibility, a Boo will go and fly off to another racer who has an Item. They will steal it, and then fly back to bring it to you. Thwomp When the player uses it, if another player or CPU gets under it, it smashes that player. It's also perfect for squashing jackals. Porcupuffer Once the driver has been horizontally following an enemy racer for a few seconds, the target will turn red, meaning it's all good to fire. Once an opponent is hit, their two right tires explode, making them lose control and speed. Double Porcupuffer It basically works the same way as the Normal Porcupuffer except there's 2 of them Triple Porcupuffer It basically works the same way as the Normal Porcupuffers except there's 3 of them Scuttlebug the player can use them to hit other racers with spiderwebs. Saggy Gummy It is a lock on shot item; when a racer locks on an opponent racer ahead, the item homes onto the racer. The item causes initial slow-down, and the main temporary effect is that it stretches the vehicle horizontally and vertically. Giant Gummy Unlike its smaller version, the Giant Gummy can only be dropped behind the player's kart. Moreover, it has a completely different effect as the Giant Gummy snaps the player's/opponent's kart when hit, thus pushing it far and slowing it. Mouse Cracker The Mouse Cracker drops behind the player's kart when used. It then proceeds to run in circles on the track. If a racer touches the Mouse Cracker as it is running, the Mouse Cracker will explode, bringing the racer to a complete stop and sending them high into the air. Magical Ball it locks onto an opponent's kart similar to the Red Shell, and after getting fired, it turns the aforementioned opponent into a bouncy ball with their color and emblem, thus making them lose control. Lightning When the Lightning is fired, all the racers except the user will be electrocuted by a sudden electric arc that appears over them,When they are struck, they spin out, lose any of their Items and shrink down to a smaller size, slowing them down.  Thunder Stick Once activated, the driver will start to swing the pole out in front to him/her maniacally,Boo will constantly swing the Stun Stick for about 7 seconds, and anyone struck by it gets shocked and immediately spins out. Thunder Cloud it appears over the holder's head and they get a constant boost of speed. They will also not lose any speed when on off-road terrain. Though after ten seconds, the Thunder Cloud will strike and shrink the holder, having the same effects as the Lightning. Rain Cloud If a player is in a range of about 50 feet, a blue target will appear over opponents. Then you unleash the power of rain on the racer. Droplets falling above the victim's kart will decrease their control of the vehicle. Snow Cloud The Snow Cloud locks onto another racer and freezes their kart's tires while snowing upon them. This makes the racer lose traction on the track and slowing them down. Tornado The Tornado can be shot straightforward, throwing up any karts in the way into the air. Double Tornado It basically works the same way as the Normal Tornado except there's 2 of them. Triple Tornado It basically works the same way as the Normal Tornado except there's 3 of them. Bullet Bill After being used,they are transformed into an extremely fast Bullet Bill, racing through the track with incredible speed, as well as automatically steering. Boo can however slightly swerve in either direction to hit Opponents. The Bullet Bill's duration is lengthier the farther back they are,in terms of places. Whisker Missile It is thrown forwards but does not home onto opponents. When it collides, it causes a slowdown to the victim, although they will not flip upon contact as opposed to the Shells. Fake Item Box It serves as a Trap to trick and slow down Opponents by making them think it's a real Item Box (Nobody falls for this btw) Bob-omb The Bob-omb is an offensive Item. It can be thrown ahead of the user's kart to try to knock over the opponent up ahead. If no one is near the Bomb-omb, it will take about four seconds to detonate automatically. However, if a racer is near one, or if it is thrown and lands directly on a racer, it will blow up right away. The Bomb-omb can also be dragged and dropped behind the kart. Using it as a shield against other Items such as a Green Shell or Red Shell is a bad idea (really bad idea) Double Bob-omb It basically works the same way as the Normal Bob-omb except there's 2 of them. Bob-omb Cannon When activated, a Bob-omb Cannon will appear on the front of the Kart and shoot multiple Bob-ombs onto the track. POW Block When activated, the POW Block will travel to all Racers ahead of you. It makes three warning crashes before delivering the final blow, in which the POW Block icon is completely flattened and shrinks into the distance, and all the racers stop, lose their Items if they have any, and spin out, losing all of their speed. Car Horn The player can use the Car Horn to emit one or two shockwaves from their kart, briefly spinning out racers within the radius. Super Horn When a player gets close to any amount of other players, the player can use the Super Horn to to flip the other racers in the area of effect, slowing them down and causing them to drop 3 coins.

Wild Top it transforms the player's kart into a spiky spinning top,In this state, if the player collides with another player,they will knock over the rival. Magnet it attracts all Mario Coins surrounding the player without requiring them to touch them. Laughing Bag The Laughter Bag is a lock-on item. Upon hitting a racer, the Laughter Bag will slow the racer down slightly and then proceed to hover over the racer's head for approximately 7 seconds. If the racer is passed or hit by an item during this time, the Laughter Bag will taunt the racer by laughing at them. Barrel the Barrel shoots Banana Peels forward. These come at a rapid rate, making it easier to hit the opponent in front. Pump Upon being used, the item is placed on the racer's head and rotates back and forth while firing goop at regular intervals. If a racer is struck by a shot from the Pump, they will lose speed, and their portrait will be covered in goop for a short period of time. Magic Brush Upon being hit by a Mustache Pen, a racer loses speed, and their portrait is obscured by silly graffiti such as a mustache or lips. Double Magic Brush It basically works the same way as the Normal Magic Brush except there's 2 of them Triple Magic Brush It basically works the same way as the Normal Magic Brush except there's 3 of them Hammer  works mostly like a Green Shell,Lauching it foward hitting anyone who touches it. 10T Hammer The hammer spins around for around 5 seconds. If any player comes near the swinging hammer, they will get damaged. Frying Pan Once an opponent is in close proximity of the user's Kart, they can smash the enemy driver with a powerful blow,The smack of the Frying Pan slows down racers tremendously. Stretch Punch when using the Stretch Punch, the user will begin to repeatedly extend it for approximately five seconds. If a rival gets too close to the attacking racer, the rival will get hit and be brought to a complete stop. Sumo Slap Stick the player's kart will have a big slap stick on its right that will repeatedly swing for approximately five seconds. When it collides with an opponent's kart, it will squash it. Whacking Fan Upon using the Whacking Fan, the user will proceed to swing it around for about 5 seconds, dealing damage to any other racers who draw near and slowing them down. Power Yo-yo When used, the Power Yo-yo will turn around the player's kart in a circle, leaving a blue trail and causing any opponent's kart that touches it to spin. The player can use this item for five seconds before it disappears. Coin Once you get a certain amount, your Kart will gain speed, allowing for quicker race times. Coin Box it spews Coins onto the track, allowing nearby racers to get a small speed boost. Chain Chomp They can either be chained to something and dive for opponents, or they can be set loose to wreak havoc. The Chain Chomp Item spurs racers through the track and knocks down anyone in the way. Fireballs After using it,five fireballs will be launched into the racetrack, hitting other drivers and causing their karts to spin-out. These fireballs are capable of ricocheting off walls. However, after a short amount of time, the launched fireballs will fizzle out. Bowser Shell it will bounce around the track. However, it will not disappear after it hits an unlucky, vulnerable pair of racers. After this weapon hits the walls of a course roughly ten times or hits opponents who have invincibility, it will then break apart. Yoshi Egg Works the same way as a Red Shell except it drops 3 Random items when Hit Mystery Egg When used, the Mystery Egg drops behind the player's kart, much like a Banana. When a racer runs into the dropped Mystery Egg, they become affected by a random status condition. Heart it gives boo the chance to block almost all enemy Items in the game. Once this Item is activated, two large pink Hearts will perpetually orbit around the users' Kart,If a Banana, a Shell, or even a Special Item Bowser Shell makes contact, the Hearts will repel it but in addition to this, the Item gunner of the vehicle will also be able to use the Item that was just blocked. Tub they home in on racers up the road. After hovering over their heads for a bit, the Basin slams down on the driver,inflicting damage. But instead of just fading away from existence like Koopa shell remains or Banana peels, the bowl remains on the drivers head, disabling any movement. Double Tub It basically works the same way as the Normal Tub except there's 2 of them Triple Tub It basically works the same way as the Normal Tubs except there's 3 of them Golden Tub When fired, it locks on the character and hits them three times in a row. Pie After hitting an Item Box and obtaining a Pie, you are now free to throw it behind you,excellent aim is needed to actually hit someone because flies in a straight line. If you do manage to hit an opponent, the Pie will splatter all over their windshield/face. The cream makes seeing the road a very difficult task. Double Pie It basically works the same way as the Normal Pies except there's 2 of them. Triple Pie It basically works the same way as the Normal Pie except there's 3 of them. Pie Bazooka the player can use the Pie Bazooka to fire a Pie forwards, which has the same effects as the Pie item besides going forwards rather than backwards. Big & Small Tire Once locked onto an opponent up ahead, the user can smash the Item button to launch this weapon. Upon impact, the wheels of the victim start to change in size, shrinking and growing (hence the name). The chaos of the Big & Small Tire slows down the opponent. Square Tire upon impact, the opponent's wheel's become square shaped. As you can imagine, controllability is at a low with blocks for wheels, in this effect can last for up to 20 seconds Double Square Tire It basically works the same way as the Normal Square Tires except there's 2 of them. Triple Square Tire It basically works the same way as the Normal Square Tire except there's 3 of them. Whirling Wheel the player may toss it toward a driver ahead of them, making their steering uncertain for a short time. Broken Wheel once the player locks on to the opponent, it homes in on them. This item causes the opponent to first stop, as many items do. The opponent then loses control of the kart. After a while, the effect goes away. Dizziness Virus Upon a successful hit, the Dizziness Virus will cause the affected racer's view to blur and leave behind afterimages. This makes it very difficult for the racer to see where they are going and take turns properly. The Dizziness Virus can be passed to another racer by bumping into them, removing it from the first racer in the process.   Driver Virus After dropping the virus right behind your kart, it will affect anybody who dares tailgate you with a faulty steering wheel. The effect lasts for about 10 seconds Smokescreen Once an enemy Kart is knocked upside the head with this, they suffer from a severe lack of vision of the track, making them liable to run into walls, drive right into Items, or even (if you're lucky) plunge right off the edge of the map. Double Smokescreen It basically works the same way as the Normal Smokescreen except there's 2 of them. Triple Smokescreen It basically works the same way as the Normal Smokescreens except there's 3 of them Fire Cracker When used, the Fire Cracker will drop behind the racer's kart, much like a Banana. Upon running into the dropped Fire Cracker, a rival kart will lose speed. As each Fire Cracker consists of five balls, a single Fire Cracker can hit up to five times. Flare Ball It creates a flash bang to blind the other drivers, and is placed behind the kart. Time Bomb After activating it,a Time limit of 15 seconds will start,you will then have to bump into another kart and give them the bomb that will cause them to spin out (Basically Hot Potato) Sticky Oil the player can toss the Sticky Oil only backwards to another player. If the player gets a successful hit, the hit player's traction will decrease significantly; even if the player throws the item without hitting the opponent, the Sticky Oil will stay in the spot it was thrown, serving as a stage hazard. Shield Every single Item from Green Shells to Bob-ombs to Bullet Bills fail in permeating this protective barrier. The shield lasts for a good time frame if untouched. Reflect Shield Upon being used, the Reflect Shield will surround the racer's kart with a silver shield. Any items that hit this shield will be reflected back at the racer who used them. If a Reflect Shield user is attacked with a battering item such as a Thunder Stick, the racer who used the battering item will take damage. Tacks Once a player runs them over, the sharp tacks will deflate their tires, making controllability an issue for a while. Double Tacks It basically works the same way as the Normal Tacks except there's 2 of them. Triple Tacks It basically works the same way as the Normal Tacks except there's 3 of them. Rally-X Upon using the Rally-X, the user will deposit three clouds of pixelated smoke onto the racetrack in succession. Any racer who runs into one of these clouds will lose speed. Galaga Boss Galaga Boss is thrown forward in a straight line. Upon hitting a rival racer, Galaga Boss will lift them into the air with its tractor beam, causing them to lose time in the race. Flower Glasses The player can throw the item forwards on an opponent to put them on it, which damages them. Invincible Urcin When used, three Invincible Urchins surround the user similar to Triple Green Shells, causing other racers to spin out if they touch the Urchins. Unlike Triple Green Shells, they do not disappear when this happens, although they automatically disappear after a couple seconds, similar to a Super Star. Gag Mic Whenever the player receives one from an Item Box, they may use it to have the commentator provide a joke or "gag", temporarily freezing the other racers. Super MIC Whenever the player acquires one from an Item Box, they may use it whenever they wish to have the announcer comment exclusively and only on their moves for a short time, approximately ten seconds, before disappearing. Pretty useless. Off-Key Speaker Upon hitting a racer, the Off-Key Speaker will cause them to lose speed and then proceed to hover around the racer while blasting obnoxious music and producing colorful waves and musical notes. While this does not cause any directly harmful effects, it can obscure the screen and distract the racer from driving properly. Pie Kart Basically works as a re-skin,dosen't do much. Pesky Billboard If a racer touches it, they will spin out. Pesky Frame After the opponent gets hit by the item, multiple, moving frames of the character that has thrown it obscure the opponent's view, similar to the Blooper Pesky Sticker the player may have their driver toss the stickers behind them at any time. If another driver is hit, their vision is momentarily obstructed, or interrupted, similarly to the effects of both the frame and billboard. Lucky 7 it spawns Seven items that rotate around the player's vehicle,being a Green Shell,Red Shell,Banana Peel,Mushroom,Blooper,Star,Bob-omb. It can also serve as a shield to Items like Shells though it might be risky due to the Bob-omb Crazy Eight No,it's not the Breaking Bad character,it spawns eight items that rotate around the player's vehicle,being a Banana, Green Shell, Red Shell, Blooper, Mushroom, Star, and a Bob-omb, as well as the addition of a Coin. It can also serve as a shield to Items like Shells though it might be risky due to the Bob-omb Mini-Boos Makes a Baseball Invisible,not exactly combat applicable. POW Balls If this ball hits the ground it causes an earthquake that stuns for four seconds. Pills HOW DID HE GET A DEGREE??? well,it dosen't matter,Because it works i know the joke is played out but Dr.Mario characters can basically cure cancer by shoving enough pills in someone,his Special Ability is to eliminate 5 Random viruses including those that would normally take multiple hits. If he dosen't steal your body,the Medical bill will steal your soul. Powers and Abilities Gengar Moveset Probably one of the most iconic Parts of Pokemon is the esay to learn Combat System,Starting with 4,as the Pokemon Levels up it learns more and more skills,and we only be counting Naturally learned moves (oh and also Ash's Gengar's moveset,that too) btw so no TMs and HMs,you know the funny thing is back when i didn't know english i just spammed the same basic attack over and over and i kinda got a bit far. Lick: Lick inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target. Lick cannot paralyze Ghost-type Pokémon. Confuse Ray: Confuse Ray causes the target to become confused. Night Shade: Night Shade inflicts damage equal to the user's level. Hypnosis: Hypnosis puts the target to sleep. Hypnosis's has a accuracy of 60% and 40% chance to fail. Dream Eater: Dream Eater only works if the target is asleep; otherwise, it does nothing. Dream Eater inflicts damage, and 50% of the damage dealt to the target is restored to the user as HP. Spite: Spite decreases the PP of the last move the target used. Spite fails if that move has no PP remaining. Mean Look: Mean Look prevents the target from switching out or fleeing (including via Teleport). It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit Curse: The user will lose half of its maximum HP and puts a curse on the target. If this causes the user's HP to drop to 0, the move will execute fully but cause the user to faint. A cursed Pokémon will lose ¼ of its maximum HP at the end of each turn. The curse will remain until the Pokémon switches out or the battle ends. Destiny Bond: When Destiny Bond is used, until the user moves again, if the user faints as the direct result of an attack the attacking Pokémon also faints. Shadow Punch: Shadow Punch inflicts damage and bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. Shadow Ball: Shadow Ball deals damage and has a 20% chance of lowering the target's Special Defense by one stage. Nightmare: If the target is asleep, Nightmare afflicts the target with a status that causes it to take damage equal to one quarter of its maximum HP each turn. Sucker Punch: Sucker Punch has a power of 80. It has a priority of +1, so it is used before all moves that do not have increased priority. Payback: Payback inflicts damage. Its power doubles to 100 if the user moves after the target or if the opponent uses an item. Dark Pulse: Dark Pulse inflicts damage and has a 20% chance of causing the target to flinch. Hex: Hex's base power is 65 and will double to 130 when the target is affected by a non-volatile status condition. Perish Song: All Pokémon on the field when Perish Song is used gain a perish count,Starting at 4 on the turn Perish Song is used, the perish count decreases by 1 at the end of each turn When a Pokémon's perish count reaches 0, it faints. Perish Song bypasses accuracy checks to always hit. If a Pokémon is switched out, its perish count is removed. Reflect Type: Reflect Type changes the user's type to match the type or types of the target. Sludge Bomb: Sludge Bomb inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of poisoning the target. Astonish: Astonish inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of causing the target to flinch. Ice Punch: Ice Punch does damage and has a 10% chance of freezing the target. Dazzling Gleam: Dazzling Gleam inflicts damage to all adjacent opponents. Will-O-Wisp: Will-O-Wisp inflicts a burn on the target. Heat Absorption Gengar's body acts as a heat sink. Its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10 °F (5 °C), because it absorbs the warmth. It also absorbs the heat of it's victims. Stealth Mastery As i said before,Gengars are Experts in sneaking up and messing with people,often disappearing into shadows for sneak attacks,quite literally sometimes as he's able to hide in YOUR shadow,It can turn itself Invisible,It can even sneak up behind its opponents without making a sound. Cursed Body    When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damaging move, there is a 30% chance that the Cursed Body will disable that move of the attacking Pokémon for 4 turns (including the turn Cursed Body activates). Struggle cannot be disabled. Cursed Body can activate even if the attacker is behind a substitute or if the Pokémon with Cursed Body is knocked out, but will not activate if the attack hits the substitute of the Pokémon with Cursed Body. Telekinesis While not shown much in the games,Gengar does have Telekinesis,being able to slam Pokemons to walls as shown above,Lift and throws large rocks,Deflect several thrown Pokeballs and even use it against Lost Spirits. Levitation  He usually dosen't use it much in Combat but it's the perfect little trick to better his Stealth or even walk around dangerous places without being hurt. It does come pretty in handy. Pokemons with this Ability also renders The Pokémon immune to damaging Ground-type moves. Phasing Gengar has shown the ability to phase trough Solid Matter,this is most likely due to the Biology of his Body,which...isn't really a body,it's more like a which is made of Poison Gas and Souls. Invisibility Gengar can turn his entire body invisible allowing him to stalk and mess with his prey unoticed,as i said before,he really likes to mess with his victims and this is the perfect way of doing so. Not to mention he's not harmless while in this state and still can and will use his Abilities. Luck Manipulation  Gengar seems to be able to curse someone with Bad Luck,with it Gradually getting worse and worse overtime until it's their time to strike,he has done this with his previous trainer after he abandoned him. Dimensional Travel Gengar's can pass through other dimensions as stated by the Pokedex,this is also supported by the fact that it's Pre-Evolution Hunter has also been stated to be form another Dimension. Intangibility Gengar can make his body Completly Intangible to avoid attacks,this is,once again most likely due to his Poison Gas Biology,which...makes sense,i mean,you can't exactly punch gas...i think. Illusion Creation  Gengar and his entire evolution line are able to create Illusions,a group of wild Haunter and Gengar once created several illusions including putting faces on trees,orbs of fire,a Dragonite,several copies of Ash,several bug types,and a beach Duplication Gengar can Create (Almost) Perfect clones of himself i say almost because they can be taken out in a single hit,atough they share the same Powers and abilities of the original. Thief inflicts damage and has a 99.6% chance to steal the target's held item if it has one,the reason i put this move as a seperate section is due to its seemingly ability to stop someone in place. Possession Gengar has shown the ability to possess someone by flying into their mouth,not only that but they can also use pretty much the mouth of it's victim,it can also copy and perform their powers and Abilities  Hammerspace Gengar is Seemingly able to store items in his Body,up to the Hundreds,he can even store people in his body and even pokemon,tough they can force their way out pretty easily . Non-Physical Interaction Gengar can pick up and Interact with lost souls,which...sounds about right,i mean he's a ghost type after all but not only that but he can also grab Acerola's Mimkyu which is explicitely a ghost. Telepathy (?) I'm actully not sure about this but like,do you have a better explanation? He's asked to gather the Ghost Pokemon and they immediately know where he is and what to do. Yeah,that's what i thought. Shapeshifting Gengar has the ability to Shapeshift into anything he likes,while,yes he has only Shapeshifted into this...weird little girl on a single Obscure manga,But his pre-evolutions have shown this ability multiple times so he should be capable of performing it too,here's a example . TCG Exclusive Moves Yup,we are including those,this is a Gengar Composite after all,and there's a lot of them so Let's start as soon as possible because This Blog Is already getting gigantic and we aren't even Half Done.

King Boo Sealing Probably King Boo's most iconic ability,he's able to trap someone in a frame and turn them into a painting,people used to be able to move inside due to it being a seperate dimension but that was seemingly retconned and now it transforms people into actual paintings. Portal Creation Ghosts can freely transfer between the Ghost dimension and the Mushroom Kingdom by creating portals,larger portals can be created by more powerful ghosts. King Boo almost caused the Dimension to collapse upon itself by creating one of these but we will get into this later. Size Manipulation King Boo has shown quite the variety of sizes over the years,sometimes he's massive,sometimes he has a similar size to luigi,that's most likely due to the fact he can grow things with his crown,he only ever uses it on paintings but he can very likely use it on himself. Hacking  King Boo was able to tap into and Hack Professor E. Gadd's Pixelator,allowing him to transport Luigi straight to the Ghost Dimension,its never really explained how but still impressive. Illusion Creation King Boo can create Illusions to mess with his opponents fears,including a entire Arena who he considers to be the Ultimate Illusion.  Telekinesis King Boo can pick up objects with his crown,wait a second...does that count as Telekinesis? Oh,well i'm gonna count it anyways. Fire Manipulation King Boo can create fire which homes in on his target,Summon Fireballs form his crown,aswell as spit blue flames from his mouth. Lightning Manipulation King Boo can summon Lightning strikes with his crown be it a single one or multiple at the same time,they are potent either way. Invisibility He's a ghost...of course he can turn invisible. It IS pretty useful,atough Mirrors can reveal him. Levitation I dont think i need to explain why a ghost can levitate. Immortality as a Ghost he,of course dosen't age,making him immune to Natural Deaths,not only that but you can't really kill what's already dead by conventinal Means due to their Regeneration. Even after being "killed" his consciousness remains. Duplication King Boo can make up to 5 (Almost) Perfect clones of himself,i say almost because they can be taken out in a single hit,atough they share the same Powers and abilities of the original. (Wait a second...) Shapeshifting Much like Gengar,King Boo has only done this once in Paper Jam,he used this to trick Mario and Luigi into thinking he's his Paper Counterpart. Creation King Boo was directly Responsible for the Creation of the LM1 Mansion,which is rather big,containing full-on universes inside it,tough i wont write everything here,we will talk about this later. He Can also create giant Holes to transport people to other places and make stones appear out of thin air but that's uh...slightly less impressive. Life Granting King Boo can breath life into Inanimate objects,pretty self-explainatory. Gloom One of the main "Vibes" of Super Princess Peach,it causes the User to Uncontrollably cry,King Boo uses this in his bossfight to extinguish candles and move quicker. Makeover Mojo King Boo can use this...ability? To completly randomize the Board,Making all your Progress in Mario Party depend on luck...nice. Teleportation King Boo can teleport in Short Distances to avoid attacks,atough the range of said teleport is currently unknow. Forcefield Every Ghost in the Luigi's Mansion Arcade game has a Forcefield and King Boo is no different,atough like most Ghosts on the game,it will eventually run out allowing the player the perfect chance to strike. Vehicular Mastery As i said before,he has been in quite a few Mario Kart games,including the one with 100+ items that i had To add to the blog...fuck. Transformations Gengar Mega Gengar The State Gengar reaches upon using Gengarite,gaining a more spiky look with some tones of red. The Gengar is also more agressive in this form,its third eye growth enables Mega Gengar to freely observe beings and events across space-time boundaries and see into alternate dimensions/universes more cleary,can produce enough smoke to cover a valley,he can also immobilize an enemy's movement by making contact with its shadow. it also gives Gengar new moves such as Acid Downpour,Never-Ending Nightmare,Shattered Psyche,Subzero Slammer,Black Hole Eclipse and Twinkle Tackle Gigantamax Gengar Oh God,that's a VERY big boy. And he has a massive Mouth too,which is not even a mouth,it infact is a Portal to the afterlife,if you Stand in front of its Mouth,you can even hear the Voices of loved ones. it also attempts to steal the lives of those it captures,so,that's fun. This form greatly enhances the user's health and abilities, replacing the Pokemon's current moveset with the fitting Max Moves. Including,G-Max Terror ,Max Starfall,Max Hailstorm and Max Ooze King Boo Gold King Boo King Boo...but gold. Feats Gengar Overall Is the first Pokemon you see after starting Red and Blue Traumatized me as a kid Joined Ash's team and was a Crucial part of Him Winning the World championship Got revenge on his Trainer by cursing him redeemed himself in Mystery Dungeon and freed Gardevoir Is just a Reliable lil' guy in general Can read Attack Potency sends Arbok and Weezing flying by ramming into them Throws electrode into a wall hard enough to dent a metal wall Hurts a Gigantimax Coalossal in Base Slams Arbok and Weezing hard enough to create a Crater with Shadow Ball Capable of blowing up a Dream World Dreams are outright stated to be Universes (See Before Verdict) one shots Raihan's Goodra with Max Starfall Speed dodges Buizel's sonicboom attack moves like a blur Completely outspeeds Pikachu Dodges Raichu's thunderbolt Intercepts a divebombing Drakloak Drakloak can fly at 200 km/hr Catches up to a train Durability takes an iron tail from AG Pikachu that slams it into the ceiling. takes a thunderbolt from Pikachu takes a super effective shadow ball to the back from Mimikyu takes a thunderbolt and electro ball from XYZ Pikachu as Mega Gengar King Boo Overall Tricked and captured Mario a total of 3 times Fought on par with the Mario Brothers in several ocasions Finds little Boo's cute Has a fine taste in Art Put Infinite on Fraudwatch Is besties with Bowser apparently Attack Potency Slams the ground hard enough to create a wave was going to cause our dimension to physically collapse due to an abundance of paranormal activity (see Before Verdict) Created the LM1 Mansion which contains a grand total of five completely separate universes  Speed Can keep up with Luigi in a Hallway Wait,That's it?! Durability Able to resist the pull of the Poltergust Has a large spiky ball fall on his head Can withstand being slammed around by Luigi A bomb explodes in his mouth Gets smashed on a hotel roof so hard it cracks Scaling Gengar Other Pokemons Ah....the world of Pokemon,such a majestic and beautiful place,filled with with the most Breathtaking and yet Powerful Creatures,Gengar is of course no different,Many Gengars have picked fights with some quite powerful Pokemons. So he should logically scale to most of them.  Snorlax can Stop a Train Pupitar can topple a mountain (187.1 Kilotons of TNT) Machamp can punch with the force of 1 Megaton of TNT a Electivire can Power a City (43.88 megatons of TNT) Dragonair can destroy a city (45.88 Megatons of TNT) Abomasnow Makes a Snowstorm that covers all of Dendemille Town (28.07 Gigatons of TNT) Gigantamax Rillaboom is able to shake all of Galar (1.5229 Megatons of TNT) Rhyhorn can Shatter Mountains (1.45 Megatons of TNT) Tyranitar can crumble mountains just by walking (3.181 gigatons of TNT) Charizard can melt Mountains (790.31 Megatons of TNT) Slowking can telekinetically lift up an island Ludicolo can evaporate clouds with Sunny Day (1.58 Exatons of TNT) (Calc found here) Seismic Toss can flip the world upside down. (515 Ronnatons of TNT)  Gardevoir can form mini black holes  Garchomp can fly at the speed of sound (Transonic) Zeraora can move as fast as lightning (Massively Hypersonic+) Other Pokemons can Dodge rays of light (0.24c) (Relativistic) Golem can dodge Solar Beam (1.17c) (FTL) Roserade fired a projectile to the sun (219.54c) (MFTL) (Calc found here) Magikarp can withstand a Galactic Bomb (12.99 kilotons of TNT) Ash Ketchum The Pokemon Anime is a big part of why Pokemon is so loved,and Gengar was one of Ash's most important Pokemon even tho he was captuted a tiny bit late,like,final Series late,he was even there when Ash....FINALLY Won a league,jeez,sure took ya' long enough. Oh well,Gengar should scale to Ash's Pokemons and Ash himself. a feather of Ho-oh creates a great storm that covers an entire mountainous region and Pikachu releases a great Thunderbolt that dissipates most of the clouds Pikachu Deflected an attack from Marshadow  fought and Captured Ultra Beasts defeated Tapu Koko, who could match Base Necrozma (Debatable) Necrozma Absorbed all the light out of Ultra Space, a universe which is likely infinite in size due to it containing all the Wormholes in The Infinite Pokemon Multiverse (Universal+ and Infinite Speed) Fought and defeated Cynthia in the Masters Tournament Semifinals, whose Garchomp could cancel out Palkia (Debatable) Legendary Pokemons Yeah...i know this may seem a bit...insane,to say the least,but the Scaling chain is way more simple than you would think,Ash has Fought legendarys before OR has fought people that COULD fight legendarys as you have read in the Scaling section,but not only that but the bosses of Mystery Dungeon ARE legendarys,with Gengar scaling to the Rescue Team,there's a extremely solid case for him scaling to legendarys. Entei’s barks can cause volcanic eruptions Eternatus throws the entire Galar region into chaos (22.59 Gigatons of TNT) Lugia Creates a 40-Day Storm (497.13 Gigatons of TNT) Regigigas pulled continents (2.65 Teratons of TNT) Miraidon Turned Paldea to Ash (4.84 Petatons of TNT) Reshiram has been stated to be able to scorch the world over (275.93 Petatons of TNT) Latios can fly faster than jet planes Raikou “embodies the speed of lightning” Weather Trio The Weather Trio,Powerful Pokemons involved with the creation of the seas, continents, and sky. now you might ask,how does a single Gengar scale to such beasts,well,they were bosses in Mystery Dungeon for one,and Gengar outright helped take Groudon down. Groudon can disperse storm clouds and caused volcanoes to erupt Groudon can Create a artificial sun (30.43 Megatons - 2.218 Gigatons of TNT / Mach 280) Groudon Is stated to be able to raise continents (216.31 Petatons of TNT) Kyogre is capable of flooding the entire planet. (20 Exatons of TNT) Mega Rayquaza can stop the Grand Meteor Delta’s Motion which was going to destroy the world (21.476 Yottatons of TNT) Rayquaza battled against Deoxys, who controlled the Grand Meteor Delta from the edge of the galaxy to Earth (986174.91c) Creation Trio (Debatable) Oh boy...this sure is a Headache to deal with and it sounds absolutly absurd but...there are a few arguments to be made,for one,Cynthia's Garchomp could cancel out Palkia which Gengar should obviously scale to,you could also argue Chain Scaling form the Weather Trio,as Gengar scales to them and in the Hoopa movie  Rayquaza can fight equally with the Creation Trio. Dialga can easily visibly rapture the 4th dimensional concept of time itself.  Dialga and Palkia are easily able to wipe out entire dimensions Another clash between the two threatened to reduce all of time, space, and reality to complete nothingness They were responsible for ½ - ⅓ of the creation of the Pokémon universe Dialga maintains time itself (found here) King Boo Mario & Luigi Mr.Videogame himself and his Brother,this should be obvious,King Boo is straight up Luigi's Bowser,not to mention all the times King Boo captured Mario even though by surprise,its no wonder he scales to the Mario Bros. Even though he normally picks fights he can't finish when it comes to actully beating them. Luigi could theoretically Freeze the sun with a Ice Flower (39.83 Ronnatons of TNT) Mario has Destroyed Bowser Jr's machines that use up enough energy from a Power Star to drain it completely,which contains enough power to create a galaxy  Power Stars are also able to form constellations (7.62 FOE) Bowser used these to create Paintings containing entire Worlds Luigi can Dodge Lasers (1.2c) Mario & Luigi can outswim and survive Black Holes Mario & Luigi can fight on par with Shroobs who can Pilot a UFO Going form the other side of the universe to the Mushroom Kingdom (1.861 Billion c) Mario & Luigi can make perfect landings after traveling across multiple galaxies (489 Quadrillion c) Bowser BEHOLD! THE KING OF THE KOOPAS! King Boo and Bowser have worked together in the past,Providing Boos for the King's quest to find Love,hell,he was even in his Wedding in the animated film,not to mention he has pictures of him and Bowser together,these two are besties,oh and King Boo scales to the Mario Brothers who scale to Bowser so... Giant Bowser can punch a castle around the world (125 Teratons of TNT) Blasted a Black Hole away with a fireball Tagged the Luma’s ship, which can cross galaxies Survived being launched flying into space Survived a Black Hole that was destroying the universe Misc Yeah...there are a Lot of characters King Boo scales and chain scales to. He scales to Mario & Luigi who scales to Peach,Wario,DK-oh well,you probably get it by now  Mario, Peach and Mallow part a cloud (24.49 gigatons of TNT) DK Punched the Moon down (1.19 Quettatons of TNT) (Calc found here) Yoshi launched Raphael Raven into the far reaches of space turning him into a constellation. (Star level) Rosalina Shielded the blast that threaten the fabric of the universe Count Bleck destroyed his home universe Rosalina’s Hyper Strike (65.9 C) Dribble and Spitz piloted their taxi to the edge of the universe while dodging lasers. (3.79 quadrillion c) (Calc found here) The Green Star Comet could fly across the entire Super Mario Galaxy 2 map in seconds (7.884 Trillion C - 6.884 Quintillion C) (Calc found here) Before the Verdict Is the Pokedex Written by Children? No. Not sure where this Theory came form but it has a simple answer,No it isn't. Sure the Pokédex entries have made some... extraordinary claims. To say the least but we have seen time and time again Pokemons can reach such Levels. But most important, it automatically registers the data of any Pokemon you've caught,sure there are a few Outliers here and there but nothing Big enough to outright claim it's made by 10 Year Olds. Unless the Pokédex entry explicitly contradicts the established lore (Such as Kadabra being a human boy),it's valid. Are Dreams actully Universes? In Pokkén Tournament Gengar is shown destroying a Dream World which is way more impressive than you might think at first, For some context,in Southern Island there's a sign that says: "All dreams are but another reality. Never forget…” now Normally,this wouldn't be enough to outright confirm Dreams being Universe sized,but the Extralink proves that it is legitimate,The entralink is a place where you can travel to another world/universe,one of these Worlds being the Dream World,there is also the InterDream Zone,located between the real world and the dream world which again supports that idea. So yeah,they are 100% Universes. But does Gengar scale to it or is it just a simple Outlier,well,it depends if you buy his High-Ends,speaking of which: Gengar Higher end Scaling All right,let's get into Creation Trio Scaling,oh and Necrozma,him too. Let's start with Necrozma since its more simple,Tapu could fight on par with it for a while sure,but it's not really enough to outright claim The Chain Scaling is legit,at least for me,atough it's important Mewtwo is a Boss in Mystery Dungeon who has fought Opponents who were on par with Necrozma such as 50% Zygarde,i wouldn't say i fully buy it but there's certainly Arguments to be made. The same goes for the Creation Trio,atough this one has a lot more evidence behind it,for starters Cynthia's Garchomp could cancel out Palkia which Gengar should obviously scale to,atough it's definitly a bit flimsy you could definitly argue for it,The same goes for most of the arguments regarding,most of them come back to the Weather Trio,such as them being fought after The Creation Trio which implies them to be stronger,atough the most Fascinating piece of Evidence is the Hoopa movie having Rayquaza fight Giratina,in Pokémon Masters EX, Team Rainbow Rocket Giovanni uses a Mewtwo on his team while Cyrus uses Dialga and Palkia, implying that it's stronger. And Mewtwo is a Boss in Mystery Dungeon so Gengar could scale to that,you get it by now,its very confusing,now do i buy this? EH...not really,its too inconsistent and massive leap form what Gengar has shown,but it is up for Debate so i will leave this one open just in case any of the other People working on this Blog do. King Boo’s Paranormal Overload Short answer? No. Long answer? Still no. Sure,he was directly Responsible for Opening the Portal that allowed such High Paranormal Overload,but besides that he didn't do anything. Firstly,it takes way too much Time for it to be actully useful in battle,and even if he could destroy It,Gengar could just Hop to a new Dimension,so even if it was real,it would be pratically useless. And second,he needed help,a LOT of it,as it was not his own power causing it by the sheer amount of Boo's in a single  place. So Yeah,The Bowser vs Eggman Blog already went in depth into this,so i won't drag this out. Check out this Cool Art (Art by: u/Exciting_Kiwi2924) (Art by: u/KJLOther) (Art by: u/202naFrevliS) (Art by: ME?!) Weakness Gengar Gengar is,of course Weak Against Ghost, Psychic and Dark type attacks,and one of his Strongest forms,The Gigantamax only lasts a couple of Turns,It also has slightly worse defense than special defense,so physical attacks will do more damage. But besides that,not many Weaknesses. King Boo Boo's are Naturally a very Shy species and even if King Boo is Bigger and Meaner, he still has to deal with such Problems,he's also (maybe) weak to Light atough that's very inconsistent,some people also say Removing his Crown would Remove his power but that has yet to be proven true,He's also Very egotistical which allows Foes to get the better of him. Advantages and Disadvantages Gengar "Should you feel yourself attacked by a sudden chill, it is evidence of an approaching Gengar. There is no escaping it. Give up." Advantages: Massively Outstats if Given High End Scaling Gigantamax and Mega Evolution gives a significant Power Boost Can heal himself with Dream Eater Has many ways to apply various Status Effects Perish song is OP Smarter Luck Manipulation could potentially Block King Boo form getting good items Disadvantages: Gets Massively outstatted if you don't Has no Resistance against King Boo's sealing Has almost nothing when it comes to Equipment Weak against Ghost types Gigantamax only lasts a few Turns Would have some trouble actully killing King Boo depending on how you interpret certain Statements King Boo "Eee hee hee...There are no exits. You may as well wander in here forever...Listen carefully. Can you hear me? If you find me, you're history." Advantages: Massively Outstats if you don't Buy Gengar's High ends Has a Comically bigger Arsenal Sealing is pratically a Insta-win Can Transmute Gengar with Paper Mushroom Has many ways of Bypassing Negative Status Overall Superior illusion creation possibly immortal??? Put Infinite on Fraud Watch Disadvantages: Gets Massively outstatted if you buy Gengar's High Ends Anxiety Getting the item he wants depends on luck Is weak to Light in certain cases Dumber His Ego can get the best of him But got put in his place 5 Seconds later Verdict _GhostOfHollownest_ Okay,this took a liiitle bit longer than usual but that's mostly because of my procastination to actully finish,atough this was definitly a lot of fun to do,but it's time to give my Verdict and honestly? I'm not sure,this was genuinely so confusing Scaling-wise,but oh well,guess i will give it a shot. Stats You know,Stats are normally Pretty esay to deal with...unless you're Pokemon,then you make my life very difficult since the scaling is all over the place,let's start with Attack Potency,let's use the lowest possible ends first then work our way form there just for you to see how insane it is,Gengar's feats by themselves aren't that insane,nothing really worth mentioning but King Boo by himself can create entire Universes putting him well above Gengar even with Scaling which dosen't add nothing new for King Boo,but Gengar can reach Planetary levels with it and possibly Universal+ if you buy him scaling to Necrozma and Low Complex Multiversal if you buy Creation Trio Scaling which sadly i don't,so King Boo takes it. For Speed,its basically the same story,and again,most of their High Ends come form scaling without gettin' into Creation Trio and Necrozma since i already explained why i don't buy it. Gengar at his very highest can get to 986174.91x FTL which,again Very,Very impressive but its not really close to King Boo which is 6.884 Quintillionx FTL,hell,even if you use his low ends (Relatively speaking) like the Shroobs,he still outscales even if by less,another point for the King. Now for Durability,yeah,i don't need to explain here like sure Gengar can,as i said scale to planetary Foes,even tank hits form them,but King Boo scales to Bowser who survived a Black Hole that was Destroying the entire universe,it's not exactly balanced when it comes to stats,at least for me,as you can see King Boo massively outscales but let's move on to the next Category,shall we? Arsenal Okay,this one is simple,What does Gengar have? Gengarite,Dynamax Den and a few Held items while King Boo has this entire sea of Items,including stuff like the Paper Mushroom that could transform Gengar into literal Paper for a short amount of time,or the Starman that could make him completely invincible,not to mention he can summon enemies,Create tornadoes,apply many Status effects to slow down Gengar,straight up gain doubles and triples of each item,get powerups and much much,more Abilities Okay,this is the most interassting part here,Both can turn Invisible,go Trough walls,Levitate,use Telekinesis,duplicate,Shapeshift and both have ways to make themselves bigger,so they do have some pretty similar Abilities overall but if i had to Highlight one,it would be Gengar's Perish Song,probably his biggest Wincon,bypassing Boo's insane Stats,atough he would need to actully be able to use it before getting Blitzed but again,this might change with High-Ends,King Boo's Immortality is dubious at best so it would most likely kill him given the chance,Gigantamax Gengar can Transport people to the Afterlife and that sounds like a wincon but King Boo could just...come back? So perish song really is his Wild Card,oh right,almost Forgot about the Paintings,yeah Gengar has no way to bypass it,so both have ways to end the Battle quickly but i'd say Boo's is way more useful and can be done pretty quickly compared to Gengar who needs to wait a couple of minutes. Conclusion Now...i know what you are thinking "but i thought you said this was confusing,dosen't King Boo Stomps?" And yes,the way i interpreted,King Boo does in fact,Stomps but Pokemon Scaling is all over the place and there's a legitimate and real Argument for Gengar winning,i just personally don't buy it,Gengar is Very Powerful it's just that Boo is on a whole other level,The Kings sheer might was more than enough to make the Shadow Pokemon look like a Shadow of his former self.  Duck King In a lot of ways Gengar and King Boo are pretty similarly matched with many similar powers (Illusions, Levitation, Clones, Shapeshifting) and while I personally don't buy the creation trio or Necrozma scaling the whole dream universe stuff does seem to put them both at around universal in attack potency. The main thing that decides this battle is King Boo having more reliable ways to end the fight immediately with his sealing, which given how Boo has more consistent arguments for hm being way faster than Gengar, he would likely be able to pull off before his opponent could pull off similar battle enders like Perish Song. Not to mention King Boo's way larger arsenal, a substantial portion of which apply debuffs which slow down Gengar, further widening the speed gap between the two. Additionally it's somewhat unclear if Boo could even be killed in the first place due to his whole vague immortality which Gengar doesn't really have an equivalent too. In conclusion I believe that King Boo is more likely to come out on top in this fight. DX Sadly, i personally don't think Gengar had an actual chance. While both seem in a very close level at first with both having a huge arsenal of items and a pack of similar powers, King Boo outclasses Gengar in every way to the point Gengar would need to scale to characters that are consistently portrayed in a whole different level of power so he could stand a chance against King Boo's low and mid ends, but would still be easily surpassed and couldn't at all match King Boo's high ends. King Boo's powers and abillities would also likely grant him the absolute control over the fight and dome of them could just end the battle instantly (like being able to warp the battlefield in his favor or sealing Gengar in a paint). So,even if we help Gengar and grant him jis high ends and limit King Boo's power, King Boo could still win. Sorry Gengar, you may be a ghost Pokémon, but you just entered the wrong Ghost House... Or mansion, whatever Final Tally Gengar (0) (damn...)
