Gengar&#8217;s ability is known as Cursed Body, which disables the opponent&#8217;s move that damages the user. However, Gengar can&#8217;t be caught out in the Paldea region. So, if you\u2019re wondering <strong>how to obtain Gengar in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet<\/strong>, then your search ends here. Without any further delay, then, let\u2019s dive deep into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-obtain-gengar-in-pokemon-scarlet-violet\">How to Obtain Gengar in Pokemon Scarlet &amp; Violet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the easiest ways to obtain Gengar in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is by trading your Haunter for Gengar, which evolves from Gastly at level 25. Gastly is commonly found in the following areas of the game:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Asado Desert<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>East Province (Area One)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>East Province (Area Three)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>East Province (Area Two)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Province (Area Five)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Province (Area Four)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Province (Area One)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Province (Area Three)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Province (Area Two)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>West Province (Area One)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have Gastly, gain enough EXP by engaging in battles to evolve Gastly into Haunter quickly. Then finally, trade Haunter to get Gengar in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assets.gamepur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/18134739\/pokemon-scarlet-violet-haunter.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How to evolve Haunter into Gengar in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image source: The Pokemon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to obtain Gengar is by heading over to Levincia City&#8217;s center. There, you will find an NPC with an orange bubble above her head who wants to trade her Haunter for your Pincurchin. Surprisingly, this is the only Haunter in the game that automatically evolves into a Gengar after the trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-get-gengar-pokemon-scarlet-1-1160x653-1.jpg?resize=640%2C361\" alt=\"How to Obtain Gengar in Pokemon Scarlet &amp; Violet\" class=\"wp-image-869592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-get-gengar-pokemon-scarlet-1-1160x653-1.jpg?resize=640%2C361?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-get-gengar-pokemon-scarlet-1-1160x653-1.jpg?resize=640%2C361?w=600 600w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-get-gengar-pokemon-scarlet-1-1160x653-1.jpg?resize=640%2C361?w=80 80w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-get-gengar-pokemon-scarlet-1-1160x653-1.jpg?resize=640%2C361?w=160 160w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-get-gengar-pokemon-scarlet-1-1160x653-1.jpg?resize=640%2C361?w=621 621w, https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-get-gengar-pokemon-scarlet-1-1160x653-1.jpg?resize=640%2C361?w=150 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image source: The Pokemon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to battle with Gengar in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, then you must note that this Pokemon is weak to ground, psychic, ghost, and dark-type Pokemon.
