Crash (0.53.2) Game Crash when using Gastly against a Gastly

[BlitzenMako]

I attempted this several times to see if it was just that one specific attack or all the attacks and it infact was all attacks. I have a Gastly I caught that is named (Don't know its thats important or not) that I leveled up to level 7 and when I encountered another Gastly, and used any of the attacks I had (Spite, Hypnosis, and Lick) the game just crashed. Every time. Not sure if that happens with trainers who have Gastly, havn't run into one yet. I also havn't encountered it with any other pokemon.

What I expected to happen:
I expected the battle to go as usual, I use the attack, it does its damage and what not, and I move on.

What actually happened:
The game crashed on me.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Catch a Gastly
2. Find and battle another Gastly
3. Attempt to use any attack Gastly has on the other Gastly

The issue is with Hypnosis. This bug will be fixed in the next version.

the bug isn't guaranteed to happen as far as i've experience but if you think you will have to fight a ghastly (or any other pokemon that can force yours to sleep) make sure you save.
Also, on a side note, there are some battles that open up with a ghastly nearly every time and you cant get around them (like your battle with silver in Azalea town). Save before fighting him and then keep trying to knock out his ghastly as fast as possible. Since the bug isnt always going to crash your game, you can usually get around this issue through simple repetition.
