Read more ↓Gastly is a mysterious and mischievous Ghost/Poison type Pokémon, first introduced in Generation I of the Pokémon franchise. It is the initial stage in a three-stage evolution line, evolving into Haunter and then Gengar. Gastly is known for its ethereal, gaseous form, making it difficult to physically interact with. Its body is composed almost entirely of gas, with a pair of glowing white eyes and a visible mouth with fangs. Gastly primarily inhabits old, dilapidated buildings, caves, and dark places, often lurking in graveyards or abandoned towers. Its diet consists of life energy, which it siphons from living beings, often startling them with its spectral appearance and disorienting gas. In the games, Gastly is a common early-game encounter in areas like Pokémon Tower in Kanto, providing players with access to powerful Ghost-type moves. In the anime, Gastly is often depicted as a playful trickster, enjoying pranks and scaring people, though it can also be genuinely malicious. Culturally, Gastly, along with its evolutions, embodies the classic imagery of ghosts and specters, making it a memorable and iconic Pokémon from the very beginning of the series. Its unique typing and ghostly abilities have always made it a fan favorite, representing the more supernatural and mysterious aspects of the Pokémon world.
