FAQ

How do you unlock Gastly in Pokémon Survivors?

By hatching a Rare Egg. Bosses, locked chests and rifts sometimes drop eggs, which hatch in the incubator with the steps you walk in runs; once Gastly hatches, it's yours to play for good.

How does Gastly evolve?

Mid-run, as it levels up: into Haunter at Lv 12 and into Gengar at Lv 28.

What is Gastly's starting move?

Gastly starts every run with Dream Eater, the family's signature move. The other moves come from level-ups as the line evolves.

Can Gastly Mega Evolve?

Yes: at its final stage, into Mega Gengar. The Mega Stone drops from the first rift legendary you beat in the run, and the Mega Evolution lasts 20 seconds.

Is Gastly good in Pokémon Survivors?

On the tier list, built from players’ runs, Gastly is B tier: it beat Mewtwo in 66% of its 110 runs on Normal over the last 30 days.
