Flutter Mane (Japanese: ハバタクカミ Habatakukami) is a dual-type Ghost/Fairy Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

While not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it is said to be a relative of Misdreavus from the ancient past or a version of it from a different timeline.

Biology

Flutter Mane is a dark bluish-green, ghost-like Pokémon. While it has no visible arms or legs, its lower half has several small appendages that resemble a ruffled dress, and its hair resembles a set of arms with feathers. It has several round red gems around its neck and red spikes growing from the top of its head. Its large eyes are yellow with red sclerae.

In an article from a May issue of Occulture magazine, it is stated that Flutter Mane's name was taken from a strange creature with a matching description appearing in the Scarlet Book. It is said to float around the sky at night with its long hair writhing about it. According to the magazine, eyewitness accounts initially described it as resembling a giant Misdreavus, albeit a highly fierce and aggressive one, and that some believe it to be a ghost of a pterosaur from a long-gone era.

According to AI Sada, Flutter Mane is an ancient Pokémon related to Misdreavus. However, according to a Sada brought to the Crystal Pool by Terapagos, Flutter Mane is a counterpart of Misdreavus from another timeline. Its true origin is unknown. Flutter Mane were brought to the depths of Area Zero by a time machine built by Professor Sada ten years ago.

Trivia

• Flutter Mane has the highest base Special Defense stat of all Paradox Pokémon.
• Flutter Mane has the lowest base HP, Attack, and Defense stats of all Paradox Pokémon.
• Flutter Mane was designed by Hitoshi Ariga.
  • Its apparent relative, Misdreavus, is Ariga's favorite Pokémon.

Origin

Flutter Mane is based on Misdreavus. It may also be based on banshees and the bruxa, a vampire witch from Iberian folklore. Because of the wing-like hair, it may also be inspired by Flying Heads, which often are described with long hair and sometimes bat-like or bird-like wings.

Name origin

Flutter Mane is literally flutter mane.

Habatakukami can be taken literally as 羽ばたく髪 habataku kami (fluttering hair).
