Gastly has no true form, due to 95% of its body being poisonous gas, with the other 5% believed to be made up of the souls of those who died from the gas. However, it consistently appears as a black, spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} surrounded by a purple haze. Gastly has a wide, pink mouth with two visible fangs. Though its eyes seem to extend past its round body, visible eyelids surround them.

It produces a faint, sweet smell. The toxic gas surrounding the main body can induce fainting and suffocation, and it is capable of enshrouding an enemy of any size. Gastly's gaseous form makes it one of the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence. The [[EP023|anime]] suggests that Gastly has a playful personality, often frightening and playing pranks on people for fun. However, it [[EP095|has shown]] a willingness to preserve or pass on the memories of departed humans. It has further [[EP020|been shown]] changing form and creating illusions, and it is capable of phasing through solid objects and forming tangible hands out of its gasses. Gastly can be found within {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and old, dilapidated buildings, but may also be seen outdoors during nighttime. Its gaseous body will dwindle away when exposed to strong winds, so they huddle together in decent-sized groups under house eaves to avoid the wind. It may also cause flickering lights in abandoned houses. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Ghastly is known to sleep while floating.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>A sleeping Ghastly is said givena sudden surprise should someone approach it.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon is made up of several toxic gases—touching it would be really unpleasant. Instead, try to take it out with projectiles. It's not the fastest enemy in Smash Run, but occasionally it may try to chase down a fighter, so be careful around this gaseous foe.''
 
'''PAL''': ''In Smash Run, these Ghost- and Poison-type Pokémon tend to move slowly, and then, without warning, chase after you at high speed. You'll get hurt if they so much as come into contact with you, so be on your guard. As ghosts, they're immune to direct attacks. The only way to defeat them is to hit them with projectiles or items.''

Gastly also appears as a trophy in the 3DS version of the game.
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon is made up of several toxic gases—touching it would be really unpleasant. Instead, try to take it out with projectiles. It's not the fastest enemy in Smash Run, but occasionally it may try to chase down a fighter, so be careful around this gaseous foe.''
'''PAL''': ''In Smash Run, these Ghost- and Poison-type Pokémon tend to move slowly, and then, without warning, chase after you at high speed. You'll get hurt if they so much as come into contact with you, so be on your guard. As ghosts, they're immune to direct attacks. The only way to defeat them is to hit them with projectiles or items.''

===Origin===
===Origin===
Gastly seems to be based on general {{wp|ghost}}s and spirits as depicted by cartoons, or even a {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}. It may also have been based on the Japanese ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' {{wp|Onibi|sōgen bi}}, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. Its {{t|Poison}} type is most likely a reference to poisonous or polluted gases.
Gastly may be based on a {{wp|hitodama}} or an {{wp|onibi}}, Japanese spirits similar to a {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}, and poisonous gases.
 
Some of Gastly's traits, such as its {{t|Poison}} type and extremely light weight, seem to be based on {{jwp|浮遊霊|Fuyūrei}}, floating spirits said to be able to spread diseases.
