Desukaan has the highest Defense of all Ghost-type Pokémon. | |||
===Origin=== | ===Origin=== | ||
Desukaan's design is based off a {{wp|sarcophagus}}. It was also most likely based on {{wp|Curse of the pharaohs|supposedly cursed egyptian tombs}}. Any trespassers in the tombs are said to fall under a "curse" from its owner, which is said to cause illness, serious injury, or death. The hype of cursed tombs was made popular when many people in a team of explorers in 1922, who had recently opened and entered {{wp|Tutankhamun|King Tutankhamun's tomb}}, began dying after the exploration. {{a|Mummy|Desukaan's ability}} to passively turn other Pokémon into mummies that in turn transform other Pokémon into mummies is very similar to the popular culture depiction of the spread of a "zombie virus" in horror films. | Desukaan's design is based off a {{wp|sarcophagus}}.
