The Miss Fortunes (Japanese: ショウチクバイ Shō-Chiku-Bai), also known as the Miss Fortune sisters, are a trio of bandits from the Hisui region and act as the villainous team for the region. As bandits, they usually steal valuable items or Pokémon.
Members of this team have the Trainer class The Bandit (Japanese: やとう Bandit).
In the games
The Miss Fortune sisters are first encountered at Crimson Mirelands when the player recovers the stolen Wall Fragment from them. Their next encounter with them is at Cobalt Coastlands after the player has befriended the rideable Basculegion, stealing one of Palina's Growlithe and taking it to Firespit Island so they can evolve it. The player follows them and defeats each of the sisters, after which Palina's other Growlithe appears and evolves into Arcanine, forcing the sisters to depart. They're encountered for the third time in Primeval Grotto, wanting to steal the Origin Ore since they think it's valuable, but are driven away.
Outside of scripted encounters, each sister also has one semi-fixed spawn per map area. Each of them drops a stack of valuable items every time the player wins a battle against them during these encounters.
Trivia
- The Japanese name of the group alludes to the Three Friends of Winter, an art motif popular in East Asian culture that features the three plants that perseveres during the winter season: pine, bamboo, and plum. In the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese version, each of the three members are named after the respective plants.
