Gastly has no true form, due to 95% of its body being poisonous gas. However, it consistently appears as a black, spherical Pokémon surrounded by a purple haze. It has a wide, pink mouth with two visible fangs. Though its eyes seem to extend past its round body, visible eyelids surround them.

However, it consistently appears as a black, spherical Pokémon surrounded by a purple haze. It 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. Its gaseous form makes it one of the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] tying with {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Cosmog}}, and {{p|Kartana}}. | ||
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. | The [[EP023|anime]] suggests that Gastly has a playful personality, often frightening and playing pranks on people for fun.

Gastly can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}, but [[EP023|the anime]] has shown it living in old, dilapidated buildings, as well. It will dwindle away when exposed to strong winds, so groups cluster under house eaves to escape the wind. It may also cause flickering lights in abandoned houses. | ||
