Musharna (Japanese: ムシャーナ Musharna) is a Psychic-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Munna when exposed to a Moon Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Musharna is a rounded, pig- or tapir-like Pokémon, with a pink head that is separated from its purple body by a petal-like pattern distinction. Its eyes are oval with red irises and three discernible eyelashes. It has an oval pink marking on its forehead and each cheek. The tips of its four stubby limbs are also colored pink, as is the smoke-like Dream Mist from its forehead.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Musharna can make the dreams they've eaten materialize in the form of a pink mist. When this mist is looked at, the contents of the dreams can be seen.

Behavior

Its artwork and sprites show it in a curled position with closed eyes, conveying the impression that it can be commonly seen half-asleep, as both of its species names imply.

Trivia

  • Musharna is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 487.

Origin

Musharna appears to be based on traditional Japanese incense burners called koro. These are used in traditional tea ceremonies, but many styles of koro have been developed to be used with insect repellent incense. These insect repellent koro are popularly shaped like a pig. Musharna, like Drowzee, also seems to share some inspiration from the myth of the Baku, tapir-like creatures that eat dreams. Its curled up appearance is similar to that of a fetus.

Name origin

Musharna may be a combination of ムシャムシャ mushamusha (onomatopoeia for eating, as it eats dreams), 夢想 musō (dream), and luna (Latin for moon).
