Collector Insights

Gastly is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 30 HP. It features a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30. The card’s artwork is by artist Keiji Kinebuchi. Gastly has two attacks: "Sleeping Gas" and "Destiny Bond." "Sleeping Gas" costs one Psychic Energy and forces the defending Pokémon to sleep if a coin flip lands on heads. "Destiny Bond" requires two Energy costs—Psychic and Colorless—and allows the player to discard a Psychic Energy card attached to Gastly. If Gastly is knocked out during the opponent’s next turn, that Pokémon is immediately Knocked Out. The card’s flavor text describes Gastly as a nearly invisible, gaseous Pokémon that cloaks its target and induces sleep without warning. It belongs to the Base set, released in 1999, and is part of the Base series.

Almost invisible, this gaseous Pokémon cloaks the target and puts it to sleep without notice.
