Gastly [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Gastly is one of the earliest English Ghost-line cards ever printed, arriving in the January 9, 1999 Base Set that introduced the Pokémon TCG to the U.S. through Wizards of the Coast.
Artist
The artwork is by Keiji Kinebuchi, and Bulbapedia notes a fun collector detail in the background graffiti that appears to read "Tokiwa City Smuggle," referencing Viridian City’s Japanese name.
In-Game
This card’s Pokédex flavor text is taken from Pokémon Red and Blue, tying the card directly to Gastly’s eerie first-generation identity as an almost invisible sleep-inducing gas Pokémon.
Card History
Its Destiny Bond attack is a clever time capsule, because Bulbapedia identifies it as a move introduced in the Generation II games even though this card itself debuted in the original Base Set era.
Card History
Gastly became unforgettable in the anime’s "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak," where it used bizarre illusions and shapeshifting to create one of the Indigo League’s strangest ghost stories.
