Gengar
Plan this partner in PokéBonk
This analysis describes the Gastly League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.
Gastly combines extra evasion with 20% reduced damage taken before developing a focused Ghost kit. Curse and control in its evolving Ultimate add offensive setup to an already resilient baseline.
Trade-off: Evasion is probabilistic; the defensive package still needs active movement.
Passive: Ghost
Ultimate progression: Cursed Cloud / Shadowy Hands / Gengar's Shadow
Curated kit: Lick (Lv. 1) · Night Shade (Lv. 2) · Shadow Ball (Lv. 4) · Hex (Lv. 7)
Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.
How to unlock: Trigger 600 elemental reactions in a single run.
Complete the applicable challenges, then finish the capture step; a reference entry does not unlock a partner.
League analysis and kit: v0.8.25, checked October 23, 2026. Individual unlock checklists and linked builds carry their own source dates.
