Biology

Fezandipiti releasing its pheromones

Fezandipiti is an avian Pokémon with a small head, a short beak with a magenta tip, and a long neck and legs. Its plumage is primarily black, with white on its head and neck, and bronze accents on its face, collar, and wing tips. It stands atop a pair of long slender bronze-colored legs having three-toed feet with sharp claws, and its tail consists of a long train of bronze-colored feathers ending in forked tips that gently curl outwards. A single white stripe accents each of its legs and tail. A crest of black feathers resembling a cap sits atop Fezandipiti's head, with golden feathers sticking out resembling a royal crown. A pair of magenta plumes also sits just above each of Fezandipiti's eyes like eyebrows and extend like long streamers with forked ends. Hanging from Fezandipiti's chest is a pair of magenta Toxic Chains, protruding from a shawl-like feature that wraps its body. Fezandipiti is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

In myth, it is said that Fezandipiti was once a Pokémon with short, dull feathers, but a wish to be beautiful led it meet the Mythical Pokémon Pecharunt, in need of retainers in its journey to Kitakami, used its Binding Mochi and Toxic Chain to tame and transform Fezandipiti. This resulted in the Toxic Chain being wrapped around its waist, chaining Fezandipiti to Pecharunt's will.^[1] Fezandipiti transformed, enhancing its capabilities and giving it beautiful looks and a lovely voice. It possesses powerful pheromones, capable of captivating both humans and Pokémon with a beat of its glossy wings to scatter them through the air. It traveled from a distant land with Munkidori, Okidogi, and Pecharunt to steal the masks of Ogerpon and its partner and gift them to Pecharunt's caretakers, Okidogi and Fezandipiti were sent to sneak into Ogerpon's cave while the two were away, managing to steal three of them, but Ogerpon's partner return in time to see what was happening and fend them off, managing to protect one of the masks, though left heavily injured. After finding out, Ogerpon encounters the four close to Mossui Town, and attacks them, Fezandipiti losing its life in the fight along with the other retainers. Pecharunt managed to survive, being knocked out and sent rolling away inside its shell. To the villagers of Mossui Town, it looked like the trio had fallen protecting the village from the enraged ogre, nicknaming them the Loyal Three and giving them a proper burial while Ogerpon retreated to Oni Mountain.

Fezandipiti, together with Okidogi and Munkidori, are known as the Loyal Three, the heroes of Kitakami. The three are beloved by the people of Kitakami as heroes that once protected the land from the "evil ogre",^[2] and stone statues bearing their likenesses were made by the people as an expression of their gratitude right where the three had been buried.^[3] According to locals, worshiping Fezandipiti leads to both good luck and serendipitous things happening. Even with its greedy and arrogant personality, Fezandipiti has great relationships with its teammates, talking to each other in private and acting together to defeat their opponents. By consuming the Kitakami Mochis, Fezandipiti can become a Titanic Pokémon.

Trivia

Origin

Fezandipiti may be based on the copper pheasant (山鳥 yamadori in Japanese), a pheasant endemic to Japan and chosen as the prefectural bird of Akita. Both the male and the female of the copper pheasant have a similar brown color, but the male has a brighter hue with coppery luster. Its crest and plumage also bears resemblance to the hoatzin, whose consumption of toxic plants and emission of malodor may in turn inspired its Poison-type.

Fezandipiti, together with Okidogi, Munkidori, and Ogerpon, may reference the Japanese folktale of Momotarō. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of oni (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). The purple chain could be based on a shimenawa.

Its plumage resembles a kimono, and the chain on its waist resembles an obi belt, such as a knotted maruobi. Its crest also resembles a collection of kanzashi, while the white face is reminiscent of oshiroi. These things, its beautiful looks, and its lovely voice could also point to geisha—female Japanese performance artists—as a possible inspiration. Given that Fezandipiti is male-only, its design may also hint at male kabuki performers who assumed the role of female characters (particularly oiran) on stage and also used oshiroi.

Name origin

Fezandipiti may be a combination of pheasant and serendipity (an unexpected but auspicious happening).

Kichikigisu may be a combination of 吉 kichi (fortune) and 雉子 kigisu (archaic reading of pheasant).
