GastlyTemporal Forces #102 Pokémon Card

Gastly is a Ghost/Poison type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, known for its gaseous form and mischievous nature. As a creature composed almost entirely of gas, Gastly is often found in old, dilapidated buildings, cemeteries, and other dark places, preferring environments where it can easily hide and ambush unsuspecting victims. Its diet consists primarily of the life force of living beings, which it siphons away, though usually without fatal consequences, instead inducing dizziness and fainting. Gastly evolves into Haunter, and then into Gengar, forming a formidable evolutionary line that has become iconic in the Pokémon world. In the games, Gastly is a staple for Ghost-type teams, offering unique strategies with its immunity to Normal and Fighting type moves. In the anime, Gastly often appears as a playful yet sometimes frightening entity, known for its pranks and ability to float through solid objects. Its cultural significance extends beyond the games and anime, appearing in various merchandise and even inspiring fan art and theories about its origins and abilities. Gastly embodies the spooky yet charming side of the Pokémon universe, making it a beloved character for many fans.
