Read more ↓Gastly is a Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, known for its gaseous form and mischievous nature. It evolves into Haunter starting at level 25, which then evolves into Gengar when traded. Gastly is often found in old, dilapidated buildings, cemeteries, and dark places, preferring to dwell in environments where it can easily hide and ambush unsuspecting victims. Its diet consists of life energy, which it absorbs from living beings, often by startling them or inducing fear. In the games, Gastly is a common early-game Ghost-type Pokémon, valuable for its immunity to Normal and Fighting-type attacks. In the anime, it's often depicted as a prankster, sometimes causing trouble but rarely with true malice. Gastly and its evolutionary line have become iconic symbols of the spooky and mysterious side of the Pokémon world, frequently appearing in Halloween-themed merchandise and episodes. Its unique typing gives it resistances to Poison and Bug, and an immunity to Normal and Fighting, but makes it vulnerable to Psychic, Ground, and Ghost attacks.
