Gastly appears to be nothing more that a black ball of ghostly matter that is surrounded by a purple glow of smog. Gastly has big, white eyes, and a mouth with a pair of fangs in it. Gastly's face is similar to Cloyster's, but the two Pokémon aren't related.
Due to having a body made of gas, Gastly can slip into any place it wants. However, Gastly's body will dwindle away when exposed to a strong wind (but it can probably regenerate itself later). A Gastly is capable of toppling an Indian Elephant within two seconds by enveloping it in poisonous gas.Despite Gastly's evolutionary level, it is quite powerful at using special attacks such as Thunderbolt. Gastly can learn quite a few moves with all sorts of disruptive effects such as Confuse Ray.There have been claims that on rare occasions, a Gastly can gain the ability to speak like a human, and transform itself, but these rumors have yet to be proven true. However, it apparently can communicate with telepathy.
As a Ghost-type Pokémon, Gastly tend to be pranksters that go scaring people just for the fun of it.
Gastly live in old, dilapidated buildings, and can also be found at cemeteries.
(Unconfirmed!)
It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish ghosts, or maybe a will o' the wisp.
Gastly's name origin may be a combination of "gas", and "ghastly," dreadfully frightening or horrible.
