In the anime, Gastly has been featured in several memorable episodes, often depicted as a playful but sometimes frightening entity, capable of shapeshifting and creating illusions. Its iconic design, featuring a spherical body of gas with prominent eyes and a wide, toothy grin, has made it a beloved and recognizable figure in the Pokémon franchise, representing the spooky and enigmatic side of the Pokémon world.
