Stantler (Japanese: オドシシ Odoshishi) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Stantler are antlered Pokémon that are similar to real-life reindeer or caribou. These Pokémon are quadrupedal, with each leg ending in a black hoof. The pelt of a Stantler is a tan color with a cream-colored belly and a few cream-colored spots on the back. They have large, brown noses and a pair of pale cream-colored antlers, each with a black orb in the center. There is confusion whether the tail of a Stantler is cream or brown, since the artwork has differed this way between generations. However, the official artwork from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver depicts Stantler with a brown tail, the same brown as its pelt.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Stantler can distort reality and create illusions with its antlers by subtly changing the flow of air around them. Staring into them creates an odd sensation, as if one is being sucked through them, and one may become so dizzy it makes them impossible to stand. Its strange antlers are very valuable artifacts that Pokémon hunters poach Stantler for. The species was nearly driven to extinction for this. The round balls found on the fallen antlers can be ground into a powder that aids in sleeping.

Behavior

It can be presumed that Stantler shed their horns at some point, as a Pokédex entry references its fallen antlers. If a baby Stantler is separated from its herd and frightened, it will instinctively produce an illusion of a big, stampeding herd to scare away the perceived threats.

Habitat

Forest Pokémon

Stantler live in herds in forests or mountainous terrain.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Stantler are herbivores.

Major appearances

In The Little Big Horn, Brock helped a Stantler fawn reunite with its herd. A little while before that, Stantler created an illusion of a stampeding herd of Stantler in self defense, but it was later seen through by Brock.

In Different Strokes for Different Blokes, Ash got lost in a forest that contained many Stantler with his Turtwig. Some of the Stantler used Hypnosis on the two, giving them various hallucinations. Paul captured one of the Stantler but released it after deciding that it wasn't worthy for his team.

Santa Claus has a group of Stantler to pull his sleigh as shown in Stantler's Little Helpers, officially replacing his Ponyta.

Trivia

Origin

It appears to be based on a reindeer, since both the males and females have antlers. The center of its antlers also have some resemblance to a jingle bell.

Name origin

Stantler may be a combination of stag and antler.

Odoshishi may be derived from 鹿威し shishiodoshi, a Japanese device traditionally used to scare deer and birds away from gardens.
