Unleash the eerie power of the Ghost and Poison types with the Gastly (050/102) from the Pokémon Base Set, a must-have for collectors and fans of vintage Pokémon TCG memorabilia. This classic card features the gaseous, mischievous Gastly, illustrated in its haunting, almost invisible form by artist Keiji Kinebuchi. As one of the earliest Pokémon cards ever released in 1999, this Base Set edition captures the nostalgic charm of the original trading card game that launched a global phenomenon. Whether you're completing a vintage collection or seeking a unique piece of Pokémon history, the Gastly 050/102 stands out with its iconic design and foundational role in the TCG universe.

Gastly is classified as a Psychic-type Basic Pokémon with 30 HP, making it a lightweight but strategically intriguing addition to any deck. It wields two memorable attacks: Sleeping Gas, which flips a coin to potentially put the defending Pokémon to sleep, and Destiny Bond, a dramatic last-resort move that can knock out the opposing Pokémon if Gastly is defeated on the next turn. These abilities reflect Gastly’s cunning and elusive nature, mirroring its Pokédex lore where it silently envelops foes in toxic gas. The card’s simple yet effective mechanics make it a favorite for both gameplay and display, especially among fans of early Pokémon strategy.

This raw, ungraded Gastly card comes from the Base Set, the very first expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, consisting of 102 cards that introduced legendary Pokémon like Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. While Gastly may not be a holographic rare, its status as a common card in such a historic set gives it enduring appeal. Available in various print runs—including Unlimited, Shadowless, and 1st Edition—this version offers a tangible connection to the game’s origins. Its near-mint to lightly played condition ensures it remains a valuable and authentic piece for enthusiasts.
