Overview
Gastly is a Ghost/Poison-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Gas Pokemon (Dex #093). Despite being a ghostly gaseous entity, Gastly stands at 4'3" tall while weighing just 0.2 lbs. It carries both the Gather and Trade specialties, giving it a useful dual role as both an item collector and a shopkeeper.
The Pokedex describes Gastly: "Said to appear in decrepit, deserted buildings. It has no real shape, as it appears to be made of a gas." Gastly is the first stage of the Ghost evolutionary line that includes Haunter and Gengar. In Pokopia, since evolution is not a mechanic, all three must be befriended separately through their respective habitats.
Habitat
Gastly appears in the Spooky Study habitat (#089). The habitat description reads: "Light the candle to read by firelight. This place feels spooky when night falls."
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Bookcase | 1 | Crafted at a workbench |
Chic Sofa | 1 | Crafted at a workbench |
Plain Table | 1 | Crafted at a workbench |
Slender Candle | 1 | Crafted at a workbench |
Two Pokemon share the Spooky Study habitat: Gastly at Common rarity and Haunter at Rare rarity. The habitat requires four furniture items, making it a moderately complex build. The candle and bookcase give it a cozy yet eerie atmosphere that fits the Ghost-type theme.
Specialties
Gather
Gastly has the Gather specialty. Pokemon with Gather will pick up items on the ground and put them inside a community box. This is extremely helpful for keeping your island clean and organized. Scattered items from trees, mining, or Litter Pokemon are automatically collected by Gastly and deposited in the nearest community box.
Trade
Gastly also has the Trade specialty. Pokemon with Trade can exchange items with you at a Cash Register. Set up a powered Cash Register on a table and Gastly will begin stocking items for trade. Trades use a value-based barter system where you offer items whose combined value matches the price of what you want to buy.

Tips
Gastly's Gather specialty makes it an excellent cleanup crew member. Place a community box near areas where resources frequently drop and Gastly will keep the area tidy.
Gastly shares the Spooky Study habitat with Haunter. If you build this habitat, you have a good chance of befriending both Ghost-types, though Haunter is a Rare spawn.
All three members of the Gastly line (Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar) share the Gather and Trade specialties and prefer Dark environments. They work well together as a ghost-themed workforce.
Decorate Gastly's area with spooky items, strange objects, garbage, and containers to boost its Comfort Level.
