Mismagius (Japanese: ムウマージ Mumargi) is a Ghost-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Misdreavus when exposed to a Dusk Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Mismagius is a purple, ghost-like Pokémon that has the appearance of wearing a cloak. The three red spheres of Mismagius's "necklace" have a slightly elliptical shape to them, and its neck appears somewhat long and crooked. It has a round head and a large, elaborate, tufted feature atop it, the extremities of the tufts being a lighter color than most of the body. This feature resembles a witch's hat in shape. Mismagius has a thin, red mouth that resembles the letter "W." There are extensions on the sides of Mismagius's lower body, the foremost ones looking more ragged in appearance than the ones in the back, that give Mismagius the appearance of wearing some kind of cloak.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Mismagius has the same abilities as its predecessor, except Mismagius is more powerful and can use moves like Magical Leaf, Energy Ball, and Lucky Chant. Sometimes, powerful Mismagius can use more advanced incantations for various purposes, such as changing its environment and creating scapegoats. People that hear its cries will usually receive headaches and hallucinations.

Since Mismagius is a fully evolved Pokémon, it is capable of using Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.

Behavior

Mismagius tend to hum incantations that can cause headaches and hallucinations. However, sometimes it hums Lucky Chants instead. Whenever there is a flash of purple, it will be a Mismagius using its powers to put someone to sleep. That person will enter a strange dream world, not noticing that it's all a dream. If Mismagius falls asleep, or gets knocked out, the victim will wake up.

Trivia

  • In the anime, a Mismagius had the ability to cause nightmares. The only way that a Mismagius can have the move itself in Generation IV is by transferring a Misdreavus which has been tutored the move forward from Generation III.
  • Mismagius's base HP, Attack, and Defense are all the same as Misdreavus's, but its base Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed are higher.
  • Mismagius does not appear in Johto's Pokedex in HeartGold and SoulSilver, despite Misdreavus being available before the Elite 4 and the Dusk Stone being available as a Pokéathlon prize. This is also the case for Honchkrow.
    • Both evolve by using a Dusk Stone, while the Generation IV Pokémon that evolve by learning a move do appear in the Johto Pokedex.

Origin

Mismagius is based on the concept of mages, witches, magic, and hallucinations. It may also be based on banshees.

Name origin

Mismagius is a combination of mischief and magus or magic.

Mumargi is a combination of the words 夢魔 muma (nightmare) and magi or mage.
