Munkidori (Japanese: マシマシラ Mashimashiru) is a Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
Biology
Munkidori together with Okidogi and Fezandipiti, known as The Heroes of Kitakami, are beloved by the people of the village as heroes that protected the land of Kitakami in the past, and stone statues were made in their likeness to express the people’s gratitude toward these three Pokémon.[1]
Trivia
Origin
Munkidori may be based on a monkey, particularly the Japanese macaque.
Munkidori, together with Ogerpon, Okidogi, and Fezandipiti, 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 ōni (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations).
Name origin
Munkidori may be derived from monkey and hunky dory (slang meaning that things are good).
Mashimashiru may involve 増し mashi (better, improving) and 猿 saru (monkey, ape).
