Bring the eerie charm of the Kanto region into your Pokémon TCG collection with the Gastly (50/102) Base Set Shadowless card. This iconic Psychic-type Basic Pokémon, cloaked in a mysterious gaseous form, hails from the very first expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game—Base Set—originally released in 1999. As a Shadowless edition, this card features the classic design without the black borders that define later print runs, making it a highly sought-after piece for collectors aiming to complete a pristine Base Set run. With its haunting artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi and nostalgic connection to the early days of the TCG, this Gastly card captures the essence of Pokémon's enduring legacy.

Gastly may be low on Hit Points with just 30, but its abilities pack a strategic punch. Its Sleeping Gas attack allows you to flip a coin and, if successful, put the defending Pokémon to sleep—giving you a crucial advantage in battle. Follow up with Destiny Bond, a daring move that discards one Psychic Energy to ensure that if your Gastly is knocked out during your opponent’s next turn, the attacking Pokémon is knocked out as well. This high-risk, high-reward playstyle makes Gastly a memorable and thematic addition to any vintage or retro-themed deck. Its Psychic typing, lack of retreat cost, and resistance to Fighting-type attacks further enhance its utility in gameplay scenarios.

As a Common card from the Base Set, Gastly may not be the rarest pull, but the Shadowless version—especially in Near Mint condition—holds significant appeal for enthusiasts of early Pokémon TCG history. Whether you're completing a collection, building a retro deck, or simply cherishing a piece of gaming nostalgia, this Gastly (50/102) Shadowless card is a must-have. Its subtle design differences from the later "Shadow" prints make it a telltale sign of authenticity and era, prized by collectors who value originality and condition. Add this ghostly favorite to your arsenal and let its spooky presence haunt your opponents—on the battlefield and in your binder.
