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. | 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.

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 ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' 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 is also shown in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'' 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}}, | It produces a faint, sweet smell.
