Pokemon GO Spotlight: What You Need To Know About Gastly

Sure, you've probably heard about those popular creatures in Pokemon GO. You might have even known everything about them. For instance, Eevee and its evolution. Or perhaps, the Easter Eggs or stuff required to acquire the aforesaid Pokemon's other types. But for now, let's veer away from that and talk about a less standard specie. Well, it's no other than Gastly. Besides, it's perfect enough for the Halloween. I know it's done, but can we just move forward? Good!

Pokemon GO Pokedex Entry Of Gastly

In Pokemon GO as well as in the other games or anime, Gastly is deemed as a gas type Pokemon. That's because it's primarily composed of gaseous matter (thank you, Science). It's also the reason why this creature's body tends to quickly dwindle away whenever there's a strong wind. In fact, as you can see in the anime, they go on a group and stay in houses or buildings just to escape the terror that the wind brings to them.

Pokemon GO Stats Of Gastly

I must say, in Pokemon GO, Gastly isn't really a go-to specie for gym battles. However, that doesn't mean it can't project a good offense or defense. It's just there are a good number of other Pokemon better than it. Anyway, its Max CP is recorded at around 804 while it's Base Attack and Defense are at 136 and 82 respectively. As for the creature's stamina, it sits at 60. If you're hoping to acquire it from an egg, go for the 5 km ones. Or, if you need a few exercise, better do a Buddy Walk Distance of 3 km.

What Gastly's Pokemon GO Stats Really Say

Moving away from Pokemon GO, Gastly has a lethal or special attack -- one that can be seen in the original anime. But as for its speed, it falls under an average. And unfortunately, Niantic didn't really give the creature a bump in the game. It still possesses a very low HP and Defense (which can be seen above), with an attack rate at a moderate percentage.

However, considering the fact that Gastly is a first form Pokemon GO specie, those attack and CP stats fairly sit well. It only suffers in the game thanks to the studio's newly implemented Stat formula. Nevertheless, it's a very acceptable companion in every gym battle. So, if I may suggest, keep it still. You'll really never know when it'll come very handy.

Pokemon GO Evolutions Of Gastly

Now, this is where Gastly becomes a little bit more interesting in Pokemon GO. Note why I said to keep it in the game? Well, that's because its evolutions are a must have! If you have around 25 Gastly candies, you can obtain Haunter. Or if you have more candies (around 100), then you'll possibly get Gengar. And believe it or not, either of these Pokemon can be a hard foe at gym battles. This is most especially if you're lucky enough to acquire an even better stat set.
