Mismagius (Japanese: ムウマージ Mumargi) is a Template:Type2 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.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry DP043 Mismagius Dawn's Pokédex Mismagius, the Magical Pokémon. Mismagius chants incantations, and while some cause misery, some give happiness as well.

In the manga

In Pokémon Adventures

Platinum battled a Mismagius in her Gym battle against Fantina in Round 372 and 373. It was very powerful and shrewdly manipulative using its illusion attacks, and using Trick Room to use Empoleon's speed against it, defeated both it and her Ponyta before Diamond's Munchlax finally took it down at the last minute.

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, but its base Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed are higher.

Origin

Mismagius is based on the concept of mages, witches, magic, and hallucinations.

Name origin

Mismagius's name is derived from mischief and magus, or maybe magic. Mumargi is a portmanteau of the words 夢魔 muma, nightmare, and mage.

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin German Traunmagil From Traum and Magie. French Magireve From magie and rêve. Korean 무우마직 Muumajik Chinese (Taiwan) 夢妖魔 Mèng Yāo Mó "Dream monster/sorceress". Possibly a combination of Misdreavus's Chinese name 夢妖 Mèng Yāo and 夢魔 Mèng Mó.
