    Ghostlys were among the first types of mysterious Ghost element Pokégirls to appear. Occasionally, upon a Pokégirl’s death, their will to live is so strong that they do not pass on to the afterlife. These spirits wander over time, gathering enough energy to literally return themselves to some semblance of life. Upon attaining enough energy, they manifest themselves into the physical world once again. This process is extremely traumatic, and often causes the new Ghostly to have amnesia. Not even Pokégirls who in life had perfect recall or other memory enhancements are safe from this tragedy. More often than not, a newly formed Ghostly cannot remember much of their old life, save for a few scattered memories just before their first death. Their manifested bodies are mostly made up of ectoplasm, though this only allows them to be semisolid at best. This form is dependent on the memories a Ghostly retains, as the more she retains, the more humanoid this form looks. They cannot truly appear as they did in life, since this sense of self is dependent on memories. As the Ghostly becomes stronger or regains more memories (or a new sense of self) they are able to use their illusion powers to show themselves to the world. However, in their natural form, Ghostly is a glowing ball of light with a vague image of a face on it.
    Ghostly at first, are curious about everything. They tend to explore areas and observe the goings on of the living creatures around them. Most of the time, this involves following ferals around, though rarely, a Ghostly will find a tamer or other living human to follow. As Ghostlys gain knowledge, sometimes they will remember their old lives. This usually causes the Ghostly to go searching for their bodies or former tamers. Sometimes, if a Ghostly finds that their first death was the result of a murder (or that their tamers or harem sisters were murdered), the overwhelming rage causes them to evolve into a Banshee. If a Ghostly does get their memory back, they have much the same personality of their old selves, though usually tempered by their experience with death. If a Ghostly has not recaptured her memories, they tend to develop a whole new personality all their own. More often than not, this personality is pure curiosity personified, as Ghostly that have known to tag along with Tamers are also known to get into nearly everything.
    One good feature of the Ghostly, is that their taming requirements can be met through dreams, and coupled with their very low requirements and lack of any visible feral state leads Pokégirl Researchers to proclaim that a Ghostly is not a true Pokégirl per-se, but merely a transitional phase back into life as a Haunting. Other Researchers, including the famous Stantz family who have discovered the breed, postulate that the Ghostly breed is truly a Pokégirl, and there are subtle differences in the feral state that makes it hard to distinguish from the Ghostly's non-feral state. Ghostlys who do not regain their memories tend to become mischievous, prodding others into reacting just to get an emotional response so they can watch.
    Shortly before the Centennial Celebration, Landon Stantz, who fathered famous Ghost Pokégirl researcher Ray Stantz, was the first to discover the Ghostly. With his research in hand, Landon presented his findings during the celebration, and was able to get Ghost classified as a Pokégirl type. Landon went on to father the first and most famous ghost type Pokégirl Researcher Raymond Stantz, and with his fellow researcher Egon Spangler, these two made leaps and bounds into the field of ghost-type Pokégirl research. To this day, the 'Double S Pokégirl Research station and Ranch' is still run by the great grand children of these two pioneers into the ghost Pokégirl field.
    Because these Pokégirls are barely corporal, they have few attacks which can effect other Pokégirls. Most often, they use their weak telekinesis ability to move around objects and pelt other Pokégirls, though no Ghostly has been recorded lifting anything over twenty pounds. They are able to use hypnosis to put their opponents asleep and Lick them, though often, they merely use their Phase and Drain abilities to wear their opponent down. However, these barely corporal Pokégirls are considered weak combatants, as energetic attacks like Thundershock or any beam attack can dispatch them easily. If a Ghostly is damaged too much, they can loose their hold on the physical world and dissipate altogether. Should this happen, many Ghostlys pass on to the afterlife, though a rare few have enough personality to restart their journey back into the physical world. Through battling however, most Ghostlys gain enough experience to learn how to possess other Pokégirls, which if done at the right time can cause her evolution into a Haunting.
    Because of a Ghostly's low libido, they can usually find sleeping partners to tame in dreams. However, on the rare occasion that a Ghostly becomes feral, they tend to act very similar, following the living around in their glowing light form. They do this to keep a constant source of energy nearby to sustain them instead of curiosity. Studies have shown that they do not manifest themselves into a corporal body while feral, and only rarely choose to enter dreams to tame. The best way to entice a feral Ghostly into taming, is to have a physical taming session with another Pokégirl beforehand. However, it is impossible to capture a Ghostly since this Pokégirl does not have DNA for the Pokéball to lock onto due to her body being composed of ectoplasm.
    As the requirements to become a Ghostly include death, threshold directly into a Ghostly is impossible. There have, however, been threshold Pokégirls who have returned to life as Ghostlys and sought out their former masters or family. Ghostlys are also unable to bear children, as they are incorporeal. It is the other evolutions of a Ghostly that are able to pass on their ghost traits.
