Misdreavus (Japanese: ムウマ Muma) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Mismagius when exposed to a Dusk Stone.

It is said to be a relative of the Paradox Pokémon Flutter Mane^[1] or a version of it^[2] from a different timeline.

Biology

Misdreavus gathering energy

Misdreavus is a dark bluish-green, ghost-like Pokémon. While it has no visible arms or legs, its lower half has several small appendages and resembles a ruffled dress. It has five round red gems halfway around its neck, which are used to absorb fear and use it as nourishment. When defeated in the side series games, its body disappears, leaving only the gems around its neck behind. This implies that Misdreavus retreats into the gems when it has been severely weakened. It has long, flowing lilac-tipped "hair". Misdreavus's large, red eyes have yellow sclerae.

Misdreavus lives in caves. As a nocturnal Pokémon, it spends its days sleeping in darkness and its nights startling people with mischievous tricks. Since it loves watching frightened people, it is known to yank and bite at people's hair or sneak up on them and cry and shriek in a way a child would. In the anime, Misdreavus is shown to be able to use its "hair" to grasp objects and other Pokémon, as if it were hands. Flutter Mane shares a resemblance to Misdreavus. It was theorized to be a giant Misdreavus reborn as a pterosaur ghost.

Prior to Generation IV, Pain Split was its signature move. In Generation II, Psywave was also its signature move. Other Pokémon could still inherit both moves via breeding.

Trivia

Misdreavus's first two anime appearances both involved members of the Legendary beasts trio: Raikou and Entei, respectively.
Misdreavus can be seen as a parallel to Murkrow. Both are Generation II Pokémon that evolve when exposed to a Dusk Stone and have evolved forms that were introduced in Generation IV. Misdreavus is exclusive to Pokémon LeafGreen, Pearl, White, and Shining Pearl, while Murkrow is exclusive to FireRed, Diamond, Black, and Brilliant Diamond.
Misdreavus is listed after Murkrow in the National Pokédex, but its evolved form comes before Murkrow's evolved form.
Misdreavus was the first pure Ghost-type Pokémon to be introduced, as well as the only one in Generation II.
Misdreavus's base HP, Attack, and Defense stats are the same as Mismagius's, but its base Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed stats are lower.
In Pokémon Colosseum, Misdreavus is the only Ghost-type Pokémon that can be snagged.

Origin

Misdreavus' nocturnal habits of wailing to frighten people and its similarity in appearance to a disembodied head are shared by various mythological creatures. One of these is the nukekubi, which shares the similarities of nocturnal habits, flying about as a decapitated head, and wailing to increase its victims' fright. Another possible source of origin is the banshee, a female spirit from Irish mythology, known in modern media for its unearthly wailing and screaming. Its shape also resembles the Teru teru bōzu and the typical depiction of a ghost with a bedsheet. The red orbs look similar to a Japamala.

Its names in different languages referencing dreams also point to Mares as a possible inspiration.

Name origin

Misdreavus may be a combination of mischievous and dream. It may also involve mistress, miscreant, dread, and dreary.

Muma may be derived from 夢魔 muma (nightmare; demon in a dream).

 ==Biology==
-===Physiology===
+[[File:MisdreavusPaldeaEvolved87.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Misdreavus gathering energy]]
-Misdreavus is a dark bluish-green ghost-like Pokémon. It has a red "necklace" which is uses to absorb fear as nourishment and flowing hair which it can manipulate. Misdreavus's eyes are yellow with red irises.
+Misdreavus is a dark bluish-green, ghost-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. While it has no visible arms or legs, its lower half has several small appendages and resembles a ruffled dress. It has five round red gems halfway around its neck, which are used to absorb fear and use it as nourishment. When defeated in the {{DL|Pokémon games|side series}} games, its body disappears, leaving only the gems around its neck behind. This implies that Misdreavus retreats into the gems when it has been severely weakened. It has long, flowing lilac-tipped "hair". Misdreavus's large, red eyes have yellow sclerae.
-====Gender differences====
-None.
-====Special abilities====
+Misdreavus lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|caves}}. As a {{pkmn2|nocturnal}} Pokémon, it spends its days sleeping in darkness and its nights startling people with mischievous tricks. Since it loves watching frightened people, it is known to yank and bite at people's hair or sneak up on them and cry and shriek in a way a child would. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Misdreavus is shown to be able to use its "hair" to grasp objects and other Pokémon, as if it were hands. {{p|Flutter Mane}} shares a resemblance to Misdreavus. It was theorized to be a giant Misdreavus reborn as a pterosaur ghost.
-Misdreavus can use various {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Electric}}al attacks.
-Misdreavus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Pain Split}} by level-up.
+Prior to [[Generation IV]], {{m|Pain Split}} was its [[signature move]]. In [[Generation II]], {{m|Psywave}} was also its signature move. Other Pokémon could still inherit both moves via {{pkmn|breeding}}.
-===Behavior===
+===Evolution===
-As {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Misdreavus have a habit of being pranksters. Misdreavus tend to yank at people's hair or scream at them from behind.
+Misdreavus evolves into {{p|Mismagius}}.
-===Habitat===
+(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
-[[Image:Cave.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
+<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
-Misdreavus live in caves, dark forests and run-down buildings.

 ==Trivia==
-* Misdreavus's name can be said two ways. When [[4Kids]] was dubbing, it was said mis-dre-vis. When [[PUSA]] began dubbing, it is said mis-dree-vus.
+* Misdreavus's [[The Legend of Thunder!|first]] [[EP259|two]] {{pkmn|anime}} appearances both involved members of the [[Legendary beasts]] trio: {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, respectively.
-* Misdreavus was the first pure {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon to be introduced. It's also the only {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon to be introduced in [[Generation II]].
+* Misdreavus can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Murkrow}}. Both are {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} that evolve when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]] and have evolved forms that were introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Misdreavus is exclusive to {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pearl|s}}, {{game3|Black and White|White|s}}, and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Shining Pearl}}, while {{p|Murkrow}} is exclusive to FireRed, Diamond, Black, and Brilliant Diamond.
-* Misdreavus's first two {{pkmn|anime}} appearances both involved [[legendary beasts]] ({{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}).
+* Misdreavus is listed after Murkrow in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]], but its evolved form comes before Murkrow's evolved form.
-* Despite it being the Screech Pokémon, it can only learn {{m|Screech}} as an egg move.
+* Misdreavus was the first pure {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to be introduced, as well as the only one in [[Generation II]].
-* In terms of Pokédex info, both {{p|Shuppet}} and Misdreavus are similar in that they feed off of human feelings, respectively envy and fear.
+* Misdreavus's base {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats are the same as {{p|Mismagius}}'s, but its base {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} stats are lower.
+* In {{g|Colosseum}}, Misdreavus is the only {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon that can be snagged.
 ===Origin===
-It is likely that Misdreavus was based on a {{wp|banshee}}, a female spirit from Gaelic folklore who was known for its unearthly wailing and screaming.
+Misdreavus' nocturnal habits of wailing to frighten people and its similarity in appearance to a disembodied head are shared by various mythological creatures. One of these is the {{wp|Rokurokubi#Rokurokubi whose heads come off (nukekubi)|nukekubi}}, which shares the similarities of nocturnal habits, flying about as a decapitated head, and wailing to increase its victims' fright. Another possible source of origin is the {{wp|banshee}}, a female spirit from {{wp|Irish mythology}}, known in modern media for its unearthly wailing and screaming. Its shape also resembles the {{wp|Teru teru bōzu}} and the typical depiction of a ghost with a bedsheet. The red orbs look similar to a {{wp|Japamala}}.
-It is also possible that Misdreavus is based on {{wp|langsuir}}, a type of vampire in Malaysian mythology known to appear as a flying decapitated female head.
+Its names in different languages referencing dreams also point to {{wp|Mare (folklore)|Mares}} as a possible inspiration.
 ====Name origin====
-Misdreavus's name is a misspelling of ''mischievous''. It is also possible that ''reave'', or rob, was incorporated into the name, while another possibility is the addition of ''dread'' was incorporated into the name, or the word "dreary". It's name can relate to "miscreant", due to the way it always scares people. Its Japanese name, ''Muma'', is probably a corruption of of 夢魔 ''muma'', nightmare, or a demon in a dream.
+Misdreavus may be a combination of ''mischievous'' and ''dream''. It may also involve ''mistress'', ''miscreant'', ''dread'', and ''dreary''.
+Muma may be derived from 夢魔 ''muma'' (nightmare; demon in a dream).
