Mismagius usually shows up without warning to cause havoc on unsuspecting humans or Pokémon. If it is powerful, Mismagius can use advanced incantations for various purposes, such as causing misery or happiness. Due to this, people often seek to [[Caught Pokémon|capture]] Mismagius as if their life depends on it, solely to make someone fall in love with them. There is a custom on inviting Mismagius to one's home, usually to ward off misfortune with its spells. However, this can also lead to disaster should Mismagius ever be provoked. People that hear its cries will usually receive headaches and hallucinations. As shown in [[DP043|the anime]], Mismagius can put its victims to sleep, and cause them to enter a strange dream world without their noticing. If Mismagius falls asleep or is knocked out, the victim will wake up.

==In the anime==

===Main series===

[[File:Mismagius BW135.png|thumb|left|250px|Mismagius in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

Mismagius debuted in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', where it was casting multiple illusions that caused {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to see the things they desired the most.

In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', [[Cocoa]]'s Mismagius competed in the [[Hearthome Collection]] but lost.

 

In ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', [[Fantina]] used a Mismagius in a [[Contest Battle]] against [[Zoey]] and her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}}. In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'' and ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'', it was used in the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. Mismagius battled {{AP|Chimchar}} and was defeated by Ash's [[Counter Shield]] strategy.

 

In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', Zoey's Misdreavus was revealed to have evolved into a Mismagius. It was used in the semifinals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] alongside Zoey's {{p|Leafeon}} to battle [[Nando's Kricketune]] and {{p|Lopunny}}. Mismagius and Leafeon managed to win against Nando based on points.

 

In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', [[Grings Kodai]] has owned a Mismagius since it was a Misdreavus. It served Kodai faithfully and helped him by using its {{m|Psychic}} to prevent Ash from stopping Kodai from taking the energy from the Time Ripple and renewing his ability to see the future. Mismagius was later defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

 

Two Mismagius appeared in ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', where at least one of them was part of the {{OBP|Pirate|BW135}}'s Pokémon crew. Multiple Mismagius later appeared on the {{OBP|Deserted Island|BW135}} with the treasure. They were the first Pokémon to attack the group as well as {{TRT}}.

 

{{an|Lusamine}}'s Mismagius appeared in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' and ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]''. When {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}} possessed Lusamine, it was forced to attack Ash and {{ashcl}} before Nihilego was defeated.

 

A Mismagius appeared in ''[[SM094|A Haunted House for Everyone!]]'', where it played with [[Harper and Sarah]] at the [[Pokémon School]] and in the dream filled with several other {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, which it created.

 

====Minor appearances====

Mismagius seems to be based on the concept of {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|mages}} and {{wp|witch}}es. It also shares similarities with {{wp|banshee}}s. Mismagius's coloration might be a reference to the ''Nasu-babā'', a witch-like ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' with a distinct purple skin. Its shape also resembles the {{wp|Teru teru bōzu}}.
