#75 Gastly - Base Set 2 (base4)
Gastly is a Psychic-type Pokémon from the Base Set 2, featuring a holographic artwork by artist Keiji Kinebuchi. It has 30 HP and a retreat cost of zero, making it a straightforward play in gameplay. The card includes two attacks: "Sleeping Gas," which costs one Psychic Energy and uses a coin flip to put the defending Pokémon to sleep, and "Destiny Bond," requiring two Energy to discard a Psychic Energy card and trigger a KO effect if Gastly is knocked out during the opponent's next turn. Gastly resists Fighting-type attacks by 30, balancing its vulnerability to other types. Its flavor text describes it as a gaseous Pokémon that cloaks targets and induces sleep without warning, emphasizing its stealthy nature. The card was released in the Base Set 2 on February 24, 2000, and is numbered 75 in the series. It is classified as a Common rarity card, reflecting its accessibility in collections.
