In Kanto how do I get a Ghastly with Hypnosis?

[Castingello]

Should I just keep searching in lavender Town? From what I understand the only way to have a Gangar with hypnosis is to have it relearn it or catch a Gastly with hypnosis

I think they are too high level in the wild for you to get it.

In the originals I know you could find them in the viridian Forest? Are they available there in MMO as well?

No you couldn't. In the original FR/LG, the only spawns in Virdian Forest were Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, and Pikachu. Source

 

If you have already captured a Gastly you can check the Pokedex for the level-up moves for it. From what I can see, the /only/ way to get a Gastly with Hypnosis is to breed it.

 

Edit:

Eterna Forest does have Gastly spawns as well. I wouldn't totally rule out a wild Gastly having it if you can find it in an early game area in Sinnoh, but as far as Kanto is concerned, they are most likely too high level for the move.

After you get to Isle 2 you could exchange 1 Big Mushroom or 2 Small Mushrooms to "Re-Learn" Hypnosis, alternatively.
