>It has been revealed that Japan is to receive a special Gengar event. This event provides a shiny Gengar as part of their "White Gengar" promotion for Halloween. This Gengar is Level 25, comes in a Dusk Ball, and has the moves Shadow Ball, Sludge Wave (which it can't normally have), Confuse Ray and Astonish. It comes holding the Gengarite. This Gengar is being given at various, currently unconfirmed, stores across Japan from September 13th to October 14th.

Remember that whole thing where people say it's totally okay for Japan to get tons of exclusive events like the shiny tanabata Jirachi because it has to do with their culture? So with that in mind, how is it that an American holiday also translates into a Japan exclusive event?
