'''Scovillain''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スコヴィラン''' ''Scovillain'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Capsakid}} when exposed to a [[Fire Stone]].

==Biology==
Scovillain is a monstrous, bipedal Pokémon which resembles a pepper plant. It has a dark-green body and a leafy growth surrounding its neck which resembles a collar. Two leafy arms grow out of this growth. It has a short tail and its feet end in a clawed toe at each side. Its two pepper-like heads are attached to its body by stems. The red head on the right has an angry expression, while the light green head on the left appears more mischievous. Both heads have black eyes, stick their tongues out, and possess sharp fangs, the bottom pairs of which protrude below their lower jaws.

Scovillain is described as a ferocious Pokémon whose rampage is unstoppable. The spicy chemicals in its brain stimulate both heads, turning the green head vicious while providing a source for the red head to convert into spicy, fiery energy, which it blasts its surroundings with. Scovillain is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Spicy Extract}}.

===Evolution===
Scovillain evolves from {{p|Capsakid}}.

===Discover Pokémon Together===
A Scovillain appears in ''{{DL|Discover Pokémon Together|The Mysterious Mismagius}}''. It attacked a {{p|Maushold}} before being stopped by a {{p|Mismagius}}.

==In the manga==
==In the TCG==
{{main|Scovillain (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Scovillain is the only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Grass}}.
* Scovillain is the only Pokémon with {{a|Chlorophyll}} that is not weak to {{type|Fire}} attacks, which have increased power under [[harsh sunlight]].
* Excluding [[Legendary Pokémon]], whose names are often the same in all localizations of Pokémon games, Scovillain is the only [[Generation IX]] Pokémon whose English and Japanese names are the same.
* Of all Pokémon (or Pokémon evolutionary lines) who {{DL|List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|List of Pokémon with formerly unique type combinations|formerly had unique type combinations}}, Scovillain held its unique typing for the shortest period of time. When {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} launched on November 18, 2022, Scovillain's Grass/Fire type was unique, but it lost this distinction with the release of [[The Teal Mask]] and {{form|Ogerpon|Hearthflame Mask}} {{p|Ogerpon}} on September 13, 2023 — 299 days later.

===Origin===
Scovillain seems to be based on a {{wp|chili pepper}} plant. The red head seems to be based on a ripe, mature chili, while the green head seems to represent an immature chili that is not as pungent. The shape of the heads seems to be based on the {{wp|habanero}} (as alluded to by its Japanese {{pkmn|category}}) or the {{wp|Carolina Reaper}} (the spiciest chili in the world at the time of debut).

Scovillain's red head being the only one to produce spicy and fire energy may allude to the {{wp|Padrón pepper}}, a variety of pepper cultivated in Galicia, Spain. The flavor of these peppers can vary from mild to very spicy, which has given way to the Galician saying ''"Os pementos de Padrón, uns pican e outros non"'' ("Padrón peppers, some are hot, some are not").

Scovillain's appearance and behavior also suggest inspiration from {{wp|kaiju}} or the {{wp|Lernaean Hydra|hydra}}. Its draconic and plant-like features may also be inspired by the {{wp|Antirrhinum majus|snapdragon}}.

Its polarized expressions may be based on the {{wp|sock and buskin}} theater masks, with the green and red heads representing {{wp|Thalia (Muse)|Thalia}} (muse of comedy) and {{wp|Melpomene}} (muse of tragedy) respectively. 

====Name origin====
Scovillain may be a combination of ''Scoville'' (as in the {{wp|Scoville scale}}, the measurement scale for chili pepper pungency) and ''villain''.
