Gastly has no true form, due to 95% of its body being 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.

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. 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. Its gaseous form makes it one of the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] tying with {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Kartana}}. | ||
The [[EP023|anime]] suggests that Gastly has a playful personality, often frightening and playing pranks on people for fun. However, it [[EP095|has shown]] a willingness to preserve or pass on the memories of departed humans. It has further [[EP020|been shown]] changing form and creating illusions, and it is capable of phasing through solid objects and forming tangible hands out of its gasses.

However, it [[EP095|has shown]] a willingness to preserve or pass on the memories of departed humans. It has further [[EP020|been shown]] 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 in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}, but [[EP023|the anime]] has shown it living in old, dilapidated buildings, as well. It will dwindle away when exposed to strong winds, so groups cluster under house eaves to escape the wind. It may also cause flickering lights in abandoned houses. In the past, {{m|Night Shade}} was its [[signature move]]. | ||

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.
Biology
Gastly has no true form, due to 95% of its body being 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. 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. Its gaseous form makes it one of the lightest Pokémon tying with Haunter, Flabébé, Cosmog, and Kartana.
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. Gastly can be found in caves, but the anime has shown it living in old, dilapidated buildings, as well. It will dwindle away when exposed to strong winds, so groups cluster under house eaves to escape the wind. It may also cause flickering lights in abandoned houses. In the past, Night Shade was its signature move.

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.

Origin
Gastly seems to be based on general ghosts and spirits as depicted by cartoons, or even 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 (like a ghost; dreadfully frightening).
Ghos is a shortened form of ghost and may also incorporate gas into its name.
