I chalk that one to just first installment weirdness with the first season as it did alot of weird things in the show.The Ghost of Maiden Peak was pretty weird with the talking Gastly which was never fully explained why that one could talk normally like Meowth. Slowking in the second movie could be easily explained that it gained enough intelligence to speak like a human thanks to the Shellder on its head, Meowth had to teach himself to talk, Chatot is a parrot so it can mimic human speech naturally, and Manaphy was most likely imitating May since it imprinted her as its mother and was learning things from her. But this Gastly was just random in every way and also had really strange powers of illusion that no other Pokémon has ever done again.
