You can find Pinchurchin at several locations around the map. The easiest way to do this trade is to go to the beach right next to Levincia and catch a Pinchrchin for the trade.. To increase your chances of finding one, head to Every Wich Way and order an Avocado Sandwich to increase the spawn rate of electric-type Pokemon.

Gengar’s Stats¶

Pokemon Typing: Ghost/Poison

You will receive a level 25 male Haunter that will immediately evolve into a Gengar, regardless of what level the Pincurchin you traded was. The Gengar will have a brave nature, a ghost Tera Type, and the following moves.

• Spite
• Curse
• Payback
• Hex

Can You Catch Gengar in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet?¶

No, you won’t be able to obtain Gengar in the wild. You can however trade with another player to evolve as many Haunters as you want into Gengar’s. Gengar was a Pokemon designed to originally work with Link Cables for the Gameboy, and this feature has been kept throughout the entirety of the series.

If you don’t have access to online play, then this is the perfect way to get a Gengar, especially if you are looking to obtain a strong ghost-type Pokemon early on in the game.
