Sometimes you spend so much time looking at a Pokémon in a certain way that you never really stop to consider what it might actually look like in a different context. Mega Gengar, the superpowered transformation of the original Ghost-type Pokémon, is usually portrayed as if it’s peeking out from the ground, ready to drag any unsuspecting foe into the abyss with it. As such, its lower half is usually obscured from view. Pokémon Champions changes this in one very specific instance, and has revealed that Gengar’s Mega Evolution has an almost frog-like body with tiny, stubby little feet. I don’t know how to process this.
Champions reveals this if you use the one-hit-knockout move Fissure, which opens up the ground below an enemy, causing them to fall down into a chasm. As such, the part of Mega Gengar’s body that is usually underground is briefly shown, and my guy has feet.

This shouldn’t really be surprising, as Gengar has feet in its standard form, and you would assume that, even if its Mega form has the appearance of rising up from the ground, its entire ghost body is still intact when it transforms. It’s just funny to see it because The Pokémon Company goes out of its way to cover up Mega Gengar’s feet, even in official merchandise like plushes. Images of Mega Gengar’s full body have existed since the form’s debut in Pokémon X and Y, but it’s such a rare sight that most people haven’t seen it, or even really thought about it.
Enjoy this cursed knowledge, I suppose. I’m now really curious how Pokémon Champions is going to handle Dugtrio, another Pokémon notorious for us not knowing what it looks like underground, when it’s hit by Fissure. It could legitimately solve a decades-old mystery of what the mole monster looks like, or Champions may just choose to not animate anything beyond what is already visible.
