Gastly is a fictional creature from the Pokémon games. It appears in Smash Run in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as an enemy. It is immune to all attacks but projectiles.

Trophy Description

This Ghost/Poison-type Pokémon is made up of several toxic gases—touching it would be really unpleasant. Instead, try to take it out with projectiles. It's not the fastest enemy in Smash Run, but occcasionally it may try to chase down a fighter, so be careful around this gaseous foe.

Origin

Gastly is a Ghost/Poison dual-type Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue. It evolves into Haunter at level 25, which can then evolve into Gengar when traded with another player; these were the only Ghost-type Pokémon in the first generation games. Gastly and its evolutionary relatives can be found in various games in the wild in haunted areas, caves, and at night.

Gastly's immunity to melee attacks in Smash seems to reference the Ghost type immunity to Normal- and Fighting-type moves in the Pokémon games.
