What is a good competitive moveset for Gastly? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Gold/Silver Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Gold/Silver generation metagame.
Gastly is an outstanding Ghost and Poison-typed Pokemon. Gastly is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield. This Pokemon deserves to see more play in the meta. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Gastly is weak to Dark, Ghost, Ground, and Psychic-typed attacks.
Gastly is an outstanding Special Sweeper. It's goal is to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Years before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Thunderbolt is a special 95-base power Electric-type move (10% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Psychic is a special 90-base power Psychic-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage). ♦ Giga Drain is a special 60-base power Grass-type move (Gastly recovers 50% of the damage dealt). ♦ Mega Drain is a special 40-base power Grass-type move (Gastly recovers 50% of the damage dealt). ♦ Thief is a special 40-base power Dark-type move (if your Gastly has no item, it steals the target's).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
