Gastly (Japanese: ゴース Ghos) is a dual-type Ghost/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves into Haunter starting at level 25, which evolves into Gengar when traded.
Biology
Gastly has no true form, due to its body being 95% poisonous gas. However, it consistently appears as a black, spherical Pokémon surrounded by a purple haze. It has a wide, pink mouth with two visible fangs. Though its eyes seem to extend past its round body, visible eyelids surround them. The toxic gas surrounding the main body can induce fainting and suffocation, and is capable of enshrouding an Indian elephant within two seconds. Because it is mostly gas, Gastly will dwindle away when exposed to strong winds.
The anime suggests that Gastly has a playful personality, often frightening and playing pranks on people for fun. However, it has shown a willingness to preserve or pass on the memories of departed humans. It has further been shown changing form and creating illusions, and it is capable of phasing through solid objects and forming tangible hands out of its gasses. The anime has shown Gastly living in old, dilapidated buildings, but it can also be found in caves.
In the anime
Major appearances
Gastly first appeared in The Ghost of Maiden's Peak. This Gastly had the ability to talk and shape-shift. He kept posing himself as the spirit of the woman which legend said turned to stone after 2,000 years of waiting for her love to return to her. As the ghost of the maiden, Gastly kept on toying with the minds of young men.
The first time a regular Gastly appeared was in The Tower of Terror. Ash and his friends went to Lavender Town in search of a Ghost-type Pokémon to aid Ash in defeating Sabrina. It reappeared in a flashback in the following episode.
An Officer Jenny owned a Gastly in Pikachu Re-volts. This Gastly appeared to be the only Pokémon not affected by the psychic wave caused by Butch & Cassidy's Drowzee.
A Gastly appeared in A Shipful Of Shivers guarding the Orange league trophy of its deceased Trainer along with a Haunter.
Morty used a Gastly to battle Ash in From Ghost to Ghost. In the same episode, multiple Gastly hypnotized Team Rocket.
A pair of Gastly were among a group of Ghost Pokémon living in an abandoned mine in Fear Factor Phony. The Ghost Pokémon couldn't stand the partying Psychic Pokémon that lived in the nearby town, so they created a Haunter-like illusion to scare everyone away.
A Gastly appeared in PK15.
Lon owns a Gastly that appeared in Scary Hospitality!. It is used by Lon, alongside its Haunter and Gengar, to scare visitors of the "Scary House".
Minor appearances
A Gastly appeared in For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!.
A Gastly made a brief cameo appearance in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.
A Gastly appeared in Ghoul Daze!.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Gastly first appears in That Awful Arbok! under the ownership of Koga, possessing the corpses of dead Pokémon in Pokémon Tower. Red's Bulbasaur manages to defeat it by sucking up the surrounding air with its bulb, along with Gastly's gaseous form, and expelling it in a SolarBeam. In the process, the two also freed Red's rival Blue, who was under its ghostly possession.
Gastly also forms as part of the Ghost-type army Agatha sends out to attack the Gym Leaders in As Gastly as Before. She also has a Gastly as a member of her main team.
The Masked Man also used a Gastly which it first appeared inYou Ain't Nothin' but a Houndour, in his team to capture Celebi, due to its type advantage. It was purposed to possess intruders that entered the Ilex Forest. Later, during the fight at the Indigo Stadium, it impaired Suicune using its Curse technique, locking it and Misty inside Suicune's crystal wall. It was later defeated by Eusine's Haunter.
Morty also has a Gastly which was used along with Misdreavus to battle Suicune in Misdreavus Misgivings .
In The Last Battle XIII a Gastly was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in Ilex Forest.
Many Gastly also appear in the Robust Rotom when Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum spend the night in the Old Chateau.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
In Get Rid of The Ghost Pokémon!!, while Red, Clefairy and Pikachu were in Blue's mansion, they stumble across a Gastly that Clefairy ends up battling. However, since Blue didn't officially control it, it is unknown if it belongs to him.
A Gastly appeared in Which One is the Real Clefairy!? while Red had a confrontation with Giovanni and his twin brother. This Gastly was out of its gas form.
A Gastly took part in a baseball match in Fierce Competition at the Pokémon Baseball Tournament!.
A Gastly was with Green when he was having a soccer competition with Red.
Giovanni was revealed to have a Gastly when it was battling a Squirtle of his.
In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga
Black owns a Haunter which evolved from a Gastly.
In the TCG
- Main article: Gastly (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
Gastly appears in the 3DS version as an enemy in Smash Run mode, as well as a trophy. It is immune to melee attacks.
Trophy information
NA: This Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon is made up of several toxic gases—touching it would be really unpleasant. Instead, try to take it out with projectiles. It's not the fastest enemy in Smash Run, but occasionally it may try to chase down a fighter, so be careful around this gaseous foe.
PAL: In Smash Run, these Ghost- and Poison-type Pokémon tend to move slowly, and then, without warning, chase after you at high speed. You'll get hurt if they so much as come into contact with you, so be on your guard. As ghosts, they're immune to direct attacks. The only way to defeat them is to hit them with projectiles or items.
Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Pinball: Three Gastly appear in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player knocks them out, they must then proceed to defeat the subsequent pair of Haunter and the Gengar that appears.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Gastly's prototype name was "Spirit".
- No other Pokémon have the same type combination as Gastly and its evolutions.
- Due to its unique type combination, Gastly and its evolutionary relatives are the only Poison-type Pokémon that are weak against Dark-type moves.
- At 0.2 lbs (0.1 kg), Gastly is tied with Haunter, Flabébé, Cosmog, and Kartana as the lightest Pokémon.
- Despite all of them being Poison-type, Gastly together with its evolutionary family are not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up.
- Gastly is tied with Venipede for the lowest HP of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- Gastly and its evolution Haunter are the lightest of all Poison-type Pokémon and Ghost-type Pokémon.
Origin
Gastly seems to be based on general cartoonish ghosts and spirits, or maybe a will-o'-the-wisp. It may also have been based on the Japanese yōkai sōgen bi, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. Its Poison type is most likely a reference to poisonous or polluted gases.
Name origin
Gastly may be a combination of gas and ghastly (dreadfully frightening or horrible).
Ghos is a shortened form of ghost and may also incorporate gas into its name.
