GastlyXy Promos #XY132 Pokémon Card

Gastly is a Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, hailing from the Kanto region. It is the first stage in a three-part evolution line, evolving into Haunter and then into Gengar when traded. Known for its gaseous form, Gastly is often found in dark, abandoned places like old mansions, towers, and caves, where it can blend seamlessly into the shadows. Its diet consists primarily of the life force of living beings, which it siphons away using its ethereal body. Gastly is playful but mischievous, often delighting in scaring people and Pokémon alike, though its pranks are rarely malicious. In the anime, Gastly has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its ability to shapeshift and possess objects, further cementing its reputation as a spooky but endearing character. Its unique typing gives it resistances to Poison, Bug, and Grass, while being weak to Psychic, Ground, and Ghost-type attacks. Gastly holds a special place in the hearts of many original Pokémon fans, representing the spooky side of the Kanto region.
