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 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence. | 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.

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 (Pokémon Legends: Arceus).
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 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. 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. In Generation I, Night Shade was its signature move.

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.
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 evolved forms.
- Despite all of them being Poison-type Pokémon, Gastly and its evolutionary family were not able to learn Poison-type moves by leveling up prior to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
- Gastly is tied with:
- Venipede for the lowest HP stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- Weedle for the lowest Defense stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- Dreepy for the lowest base Defense stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
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, ghost, and ghastly (frightful).
Ghos may be derived from ghost and gas.
