Drew's Masquerain

Masquerain first appeared in A Fan with a Plan. Drew was seen practicing with it for the upcoming Rustboro City Contest, which was in the following episode.

In Destiny Deoxys, a Masquerain was owned by Audrey. The Eyeball Pokémon helped to rotate the fan blades of the windmills in order for LaRousse City's power to come back on.

Generation III Ruby Masquerain intimidates enemies with the eyelike patterns on its antennas. This Pokémon flaps its four wings to freely fly in any direction - even sideways and backwards - as if it were a helicopter. Sapphire Masquerain's antennas have eyelike patterns that usually give it an angry look. If the "eyes" are droopy and appear sad, it is said to be a sign that a heavy rainfall is on its way. Emerald It intimidates foes with the large eyelike patterns on its antennae. Because it can't fly if its wings get wet, it shelters itself from rain under large trees and eaves. FireRed The antennae have distinctive patterns that look like eyes. When it rains, they grow heavy, making flight impossible. LeafGreen The antennae have distinctive patterns that look like eyes. When it rains, they grow heavy, making flight impossible.
