Biology

Physiology

Daikenki is a quadruped, blue sea lion-like Pokémon. Long, white whiskers extend from its snout and head, and on the back of its head is a large, rounded beige helmet-like shell with spikes and a spear-like, pointed protrusion in the front. Its underbelly is covered by a dull bluish gray seashell-like carapace, and its limbs are covered with beige, sectioned bracer-like coverings, looking as if comprised of seashells with the forelimbs’ bracers being the swords that it uses in battle. The lower two segments of these bracers are the scabbards for the two swords. The upper segment and spike make up the sword and its handle, respectively. Daikenki possess three navy digits on each limb, and a fin-like, splayed tail with the innermost section being beige like the seashell-like portions of its body.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Part of the armor on its forefeet is a sword; one swing of it can beat opponents. It can silence foes with its glare alone and can dominate foes simply by howling. When in battle, Daikenki can stand on its hind legs and use one of its blades as a sword to fight.

Behavior

It glares and howls at opponents to silence and dominate them.

Trivia

• Daikenki, Serperior and Emboar all share the same base stat total of 528.

Origin

Daikenki is based on a sea lion with characteristics of a samurai or shogun.^[1] Daikenki's tail may be based on a Japanese war fan. The "helmet" over its head is based on the Murex altispira shell.

Name origin

Daikenki's name seems to come from 大 dai, meaning large, and 剣 ken, meaning sword. Similarly 大剣 taiken also means large or long sword. The latter half of the name, kenki, may also come from 剣鬼 – a word used to refer to a very skilled swordsman, literally meaning sword-wielding demon. The 大 dai in Daikenki's name may imply a lineage within its final evolutionary line, with Daikenki being the eldest of the brothers.
