It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Haunter}} starting at [[level]] 25, which evolves into {{p|Gengar}} when [[trade]]d.

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. [[EP023|The anime]] has shown Gastly living in old, dilapidated buildings, but it can also be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

==In the anime==

A Gastly appeared in ''[[EP095|A Shipful Of Shivers]]'' guarding the Orange league trophy of its deceased Trainer along with a {{p|Haunter}}.

A pair of Gastly were among a group of Ghost Pokémon living in an abandoned mine in ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''. The Ghost Pokémon couldn't stand the partying {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon that lived in the nearby town, so they created a {{p|Haunter}}-like illusion to scare everyone away.

A Gastly appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]''.

The [[Masked Man]] also used a Gastly which it first appeared in''[[PS103|You Ain't Nothin' but a Houndour]]'', in his team to capture {{p|Celebi}}, due to its type advantage. It was purposed to possess intruders that entered the [[Ilex Forest]]. Later, during the fight at the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo Stadium]], it impaired {{p|Suicune}} using its {{m|Curse}} technique, locking it and [[Misty]] inside Suicune's crystal wall. It was later defeated by [[Eusine]]'s {{p|Haunter}}.

In ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' a Gastly was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

Many Gastly also appear in the ''[[PS345|Robust Rotom]]'' when {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} spend the night in the [[Old Chateau]].
