this says that Gengar has Cursed Body

this, too
But everyone who's actually played the game knows it's actually Levitate

Gengar only has Levitate from generations III-VI. From generation VII onward it has Cursed Body. Your information is incorrect, and while you might not care about generation VII you do seem to care at least about generations III-VI.

That said, I'm not aware of anything that handles changes in abilities through generations. So this will have to be added to correct this inaccurate data.

But so long as you do care about the most recent generations ability being correct, then the information provided by PokeAPI is correct.
