SilverTo steal the life of its target, it slips into the prey's shadow and silently waits for an opportunity.
CrystalHiding in people's shadows at night, it absorbs their heat. The chill it causes makes the victims shake.
Ruby / SapphireSometimes, on a dark night, your shadow thrown by a streetlight will suddenly and startlingly overtake you. It is actually a GENGAR running past you, pretending to be your shadow.

FireRedIt is said to emerge from darkness to steal the lives of those who become lost in mountains.

DiamondIt hides in shadows. It is said that if GENGAR is hiding, it cools the area by nearly 10 degrees F.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
