Gastly has no true form, due to 95% of its body being poisonous gas. However, it consistently appears as a black, spherical Pokémon surrounded by a purple haze. The toxic gas surrounding the main body can induce fainting and suffocation. The anime suggests that Gastly has a playful personality, often frightening and playing pranks on people for fun. However, it has shown a willingness to preserve or pass on the memories of departed humans. It has further been shown changing form and creating illusions, and it is capable of phasing through solid objects. Gastly is based on the Japanese yōkai sōgen bi, the decapitated head of a monk whose head is doomed to wander the Earth, consumed by fire. Its Poison type is most likely a reference to poisonous or polluted gases.
Gastly represents ongoing battles, fatigue, drained of energy, courage, persistence, perseverance, learning from past failure, gathering your strength, being guarded, expecting trouble, holding out, setbacks, strength of will, mischief, prankster mentality.
Staryu, the star shape Pokémon
Type: water
Abilities: illuminate-natural cure-analytic
Staryu is a golden brown starfish shaped Pokémon with a star ruby core in the center. It can regrow most of its body as long as the core remains intact. When the sun goes down, the core glows its brightest. Many Staryu will float from the seafloor to the surface and align themselves with stars of the night sky as their core flickers, displaying a connection with the celestial bodies of space, where it is rumored to have originally come from.
Staryu represents hope, connectivity, higher powers, ancient knowledge, self healing
Hope and connectivity are there if you seek it. If you feel like you are above such things, it’s a silly notion. Don’t be such an edgelord that you refuse to embrace beautiful things. Go out and have some fun today. Do something subversive. Hail yourself.
