The Gengar 17/99 card from the Platinum: Arceus expansion is a non-holo Rare released in November 2009, distinct from the set's more famous Lv.X holos. Depicted as a Lv.46 Stage 2 Psychic-type Pokémon with 120 HP, it evolves from Haunter and features artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita. While often overshadowed by the holographic Lv.X Gengar (#97/99) in the same set, this regular rare is a staple for collectors completing the Arceus series and is frequently sought after in high-grade raw condition due to its utility in specific Unlimited format decks.

In gameplay, this Gengar offers precise disruption through its "Sharpshooting" attack, which deals 40 damage to any one of the opponent's Pokémon (Active or Benched) without applying Weakness or Resistance, allowing for strategic sniping of low-HP targets. Its second attack, "Poison Jab," costs two Psychic Energy to deal 60 damage while poisoning the Defending Pokémon. With a Darkness weakness, Colorless resistance, and a low retreat cost of one, it serves as a flexible attacker capable of controlling the board state by picking off weakened benched creatures or applying steady pressure with status conditions.

For collectors seeking raw copies, the card's value is moderate but condition-sensitive, with ungraded Near Mint specimens typically selling between $20 and $35 as of mid-2026. Prices can fluctuate based on centering and surface wear, with lightly played copies often found closer to the $15 mark. While not as expensive as its holographic counterparts, high-quality raw examples of this Arita-illustrated Gengar remain popular among players building budget-friendly Psychic decks and collectors focusing on the Platinum era.
