We resume the investigation of the ground-state pseudoscalar glueball, $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$, by computing its two- and three-body decays into vector and axial-vector quark-antiquark meson fields additional to scalar and pseudoscalar mesons through the construction of an interaction chiral Lagrangian that produces these decays. We evaluate the branching ratio, via a parameter-free calculation, by setting the mass of the pseudoscalar glueball to $2.6$ GeV as predicted by lattice QCD simulations. We duplicate the computation for the branching ratios for a pseudoscalar glueball mass $2.37$ GeV which matches to the measured mass of the resonance $X(2370)$ in the BESIII experiment. The present channels and states are potentially reached and are interesting for the running BESIII and Belle-II experiments and the planned PANDA experiment at FAIR/GSI which will be able to detect the pseudoscalar glueball within the accessible energy range.
