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. As bandits, they usually steal valuable items or Pokémon. Prior to becoming bandits, they were members of the Galaxy Team, while prior to that, Clover and Coin were members of the Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan, respectively.

Members of this team have the Trainer class Bandit.

In the core series games

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

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. For example, Coin sometimes[citation needed] appears on or near the trail between Deertrack Path and Deertrack Heights in the Obsidian Fieldlands (in any weather or time of day). 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 persevere during the winter season: pine, bamboo, and plum. In the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions, each of the three members are named after the respective plants.
  • Each bandit wears a piece of clothing originating from the group that they left:
