⚔️ Raids

Gastly is basically an orb of gas, and with its terrible bulk, it'll get blown away in no time. 🌬️

Although Gastly has a higher ATK than most Pokémon who begin a multistage evolution line, it still isn't enough for use in raids. Its bulk is even lower, so it is not a good idea to put it in Gyms too.

🛡️ Gyms

Despite being a Ghost-type, Gastly is apparently scared of Gyms. 😨 Its awful bulk makes it a terrible Gym defender.

🧸 Little Cup

Ghost might be a scary offensive type but Gastly's pathetic bulk betrays its chances in the Little Cup. It is easy prey to the many Dark Pokémon that dominate these battles, so better to give Gastly the day off when participating in the Little Cup.
