How to unlock Gastly
To add it to your League, complete its challenge — trigger 600 elemental reactions in a single run — then weaken and catch it when it appears in your next run.
- Trigger 600 elemental reactions in a single run.
Goal: 600 - Catch it in your next run.
After the challenge is complete, Gastly appears in a run. Weaken it and catch it — it only joins your League once it is caught.
"In a single run" goals must be met in one run; the others add up across all your runs. League-size goals count the partners you have caught.
