Gastly's egg groups: Amorphous

The egg moves for Gastly are listed below, alongside compatible parent Pokémon it can breed with.

You will need to breed a female Gastly with a compatible male Pokémon, with the male (for Gen 2-5) knowing the egg move in question. Alternatively, if you already have a Gastly with the egg move it can breed with Ditto.
