A short write-up on Gastly, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
Almost invisible, this gaseous POKéMON cloaks the target and puts it to sleep without notice.
Said to appear in decrepit, deserted buildings. It has no real shape as it appears to be made of a gas.
Collectors still read Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar fastest left-to-right; matching illustration eras across those stages matters more than cramming every rarity onto one page.
A second dex beat (Y) frames Gastly as born from gases, anyone would faint if engulfed by its gaseous body, which contains poison. Rotating that line on a sticky note beside the page keeps the spread feeling lived-in.
In the games, Gastly → Haunter → Gengar make up this evolution family — a natural arc to echo when you curate cards or binder spreads.
