I LOVE IT. IT'S SO PERFECT.
And I love Gengars, like I said :'D
I put in a lot of effort into making it.. It took me three days, but it was worth it I'm really glad that I redid the pattern, brcause the first attempt looked much like a Clefable I still have that, so I'll upload that if I have the time/if I care

Gengar is about 30-40cm big, and making a pattern was quite difficult, because I didn't know which gen I should make o.o I decided to stick with the older ones, because I prefer the oval shape over the spherical one. But the spikes are from the newer gen, because I thought they would look better than those single spikes
(If you want to see my references, here's the first one: sprites choose "alle Generationen" to see the sprites of all gens and the second one: plush )

He's so awesome and perfect, and I'm so glad that I made him~

Pattern: IMPORTANT: the size of the pattern is DIN A4!

Instructions:
1. start with sewing on the arms, legs and ears (one half of each part to each part of the body - so if you're done, you should have a flat, gengar looking front and two half backs, which look like a half gengar). If you take a look at the leg, there's a ._._._._. line (same goes for the ears and the sole). It makes it look like the leg needs to be cut in half - but it doesn't! It shows which part of the leg should be sewn onto the body. the two points where the line meets the outer line of the leg should be aligned with the ends of the half-circle on the body..(hope that's understandable.. somehow ^^"). Aligning everything might be a bit fiddly, but it works

2. close up the darts in the front body (the ones in the top middle and bottom middle) and sew the two back parts together, so it looks similar to the front - but leave an opening near the end! The lowest part should be sewn together though. So if you start at the top, close the back until...the half or sth like that, then leave an opening (about 8-10 cm), then close up the rest of the back to the bottom. This hole will be used later for turning the plush inside out.

3. start with sewing the legs together. Again, the ._._._. helps with aligning everything correctly. stop sewing as soon as you reach the toe-line. now you should have a leg which is closed up at the left and the right, is connected to one front and one back part at the top and open on the bottom. Take the sole, align it with the leg and sew it on. Again, this might be a bit fiddly, but if it doesn't look good, you can always redo the seam - repeat with the other leg

4. close up the gap between the legs and sew around the remaining gengar (so arms, ears, ...). Now the only thing left is to turn the plush inside out. If you've done everything correctly, everything should be closed up and looking sth like a gengar. Stuff it (it needs a lot of stuffing, seriously - otherwise it looks weird) and close the opening on the back with a ladder stitch.

5. Place the tail where you want it to be, pin it onto the plush and stuff it (if you pin it first, it's a bit easier to stuff it - at least for me) and sew it on. Of course you can't use the machine for that Anyways, make sure that you hide the ugly edge of the fabric. to do so, just fold it (difficult to explain, but it's like with the ruff from the eevee plush.. in the tutorial you can the a sketch of what I mean.. maybe that helps )

6. Pin the middle spike in place and start sewing it on. Sew on one side, then stuff one single spike, sew it on, stuff the next spike, sew it on.. it takes quite a while, but that's definitely the easiest way and the stufffing will stay in place... do the same with the outer spikes. I'd recommend that you sew them onto the body on the side which is next to the middle spike, because afterwards you won't be able to reach that side properly. Again, stuff one spike, sew it on,.... like the tail, make sure you fold the edge of the fabric, so that it looks neat

7. if you haven't already done so before, sew on the face. Since I don't have a embroidering machinge, I always do that last..
