Provenance

Where it came from

The Gastly card from the Arceus expansion was released in 2009 as part of the Diamond & Pearl series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its thematic focus on the Mythical Pokémon Arceus and introduced mechanics that allowed players to incorporate multiple types of Arceus cards into a single deck, marking a significant mechanical shift for the game during the late stages of the fourth generation era.

The illustration for this card features artwork by Midori Haru, who has contributed numerous cards to the Pokémon TCG. The design leans into Gastly’s classic ethereal aesthetic, utilizing the psychic-type color palette to emphasize the ghostly, gaseous nature of the Pokémon. It was received by the player base as a standard uncommon utility card, valued primarily by collectors interested in the completion of the Arceus set.
