Evolution of Gastly into a Powerful Pokémon
Pokémon is a popular series of role playing games, resulting in various spin offs and merchandise. A beloved aspect of the games and other media are the playful creatures known as “Pokémon”. Gastly is one of the many adorable ghosts available to a player and an interesting story exists surrounding its development. This article will tell that story and examine exactly at what level does Gastly evolve.
What is Gastly?
Gastly is a ghost-like Pokémon originally made available in the first Pokémon game, Red and Blue. In subsequent games and media, Gastly has become a fan-favorite as it’s particularly cute yet creepy design has charmed even the most jaded of players. It has a light purple body with a skull-like head, two large black eyes, and a small white cloud-like tail. Gastly is a “Gas Pokémon” and is one of the natural predators of the Kanto region.
How does Gastly Evolve?
Gastly evolves at Level 25 to Haunter, which is a semi-close resemblance to Gastly with its more menacing facial expression and elongated appendage hands. Haunter then evolves at Level 38 to Gengar, whom is a large, purple-colored creature due to being able to absorb energy from its environment. Gengar is notably darker and more threatening than its two pre-evolutions, with a large grin, long claws, and red eyes.
What Level Does Gastly Evolve?
As previously mentioned, Gastly evolves into Haunter at Level 25 and Gengar at Level 37. It takes some time for Gastly to reach this level, but with the help of EV training, leveling up quickly is possible. EV (Effort Values) are the hidden stats of a Pokemon that can increase the stats of an individual Pokemon. EVs were first introduced in Generation III and are necessary when training a Pokémon in order to make it a powerful fighter.
Conclusion
Gastly is a tremendously popular Gas Pokémon that is one of the first creatures encountered by players during their game play. It’s lovable yet frightening design has seen Gastly become beloved by players, particularly those familiar with the Pokémon franchise. While it takes some time and dedication to reach Level 25, the reward of a powerful Haunter or the intimidating Gengar prove that the effort is well worth it.
