Gastly (Japanese: ゴース Ghos) is a dual-type Ghost/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Haunter starting at level 25, which evolves into Gengar when traded or when exposed to a Linking Cord.
(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)
Biology
Gastly has no true form, due to 95% of its body being poisonous gas, with the other 5% believed to be made up of the souls of those who died from the gas. However, it consistently appears as a black, spherical Pokémon surrounded by a purple haze. Gastly has a wide, pink mouth with two visible fangs. Though its eyes seem to extend past its round body, visible eyelids surround them.
It produces a faint, sweet smell. The toxic gas surrounding the main body can induce fainting and suffocation, and it is capable of enshrouding an enemy of any size. Gastly's gaseous form makes it one of the lightest Pokémon in existence. The Pokémon the Series episode The Tower of Terror 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 is also shown in The Ghost of Maiden's Peak changing form and creating illusions, and it is capable of phasing through solid objects and forming tangible hands out of its gasses. Gastly can be found within caves and old, dilapidated buildings, but may also be seen outdoors during nighttime. Its gaseous body will dwindle away when exposed to strong winds, so they huddle together in decent-sized groups under house eaves to avoid the wind. It may also cause flickering lights in abandoned houses. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Gastly is known to sleep while floating.[1]A sleeping Gastly is said give a sudden surprise should someone approach it.
In Generation I, Night Shade was its signature move.
Evolution
Gastly evolves into Haunter, which evolves into Gengar.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
Gastly appears in the 3DS version as an enemy in Smash Run mode. It is immune to melee attacks.
Gastly also appears as a trophy in the 3DS version of the game.
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.
Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Gastly's prototype name was "Spirit".
- Despite all of them being Poison-type Pokémon, Gastly and its evolutionary family cannot learn any Poison-type moves by leveling up outside of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
- Gastly is tied with:
- Venipede for the lowest base HP stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- Weedle for the lowest Defense stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- Haunter for the lightest Poison-type Pokémon.
- Haunter and Roaming Form Gimmighoul for the lightest Ghost-type Pokémon.
- Gastly is the only Pokémon that weighs exactly the same as its evolution.
Origin
Gastly may be based on a hitodama or an onibi, Japanese spirits similar to a will-o'-the-wisp, and poisonous gases.
Some of Gastly's traits, such as its Poison type and extremely light weight, seem to be based on Fuyūrei, floating spirits said to be able to spread diseases.
Name origin
Gastly may be a combination of gas, ghost, and ghastly (frightful).
Ghos may be derived from ghost and gas.
