Mismagius (Japanese: ムウマージ Mumargi) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Misdreavus when exposed to a Dusk Stone.

Biology

Mismagius is a purple, ghost-like Pokémon. It has a round head with elaborate tufts resembling a witch's hat atop it. The tips of the tufts are paler than most of the body. It has a thin, red mouth that resembles the letter "W." Below its head, Mismagius has a short, thorax-like lump from which its body connects. Three elliptical red spheres surround the upper portion of Mismagius's body. There are extensions on the sides of its lower body with the foremost ones tattered compared to rear ones. This gives Mismagius the appearance of wearing some kind of cloak.

Mismagius usually shows up without warning to cause havoc on unsuspecting humans or Pokémon. If it is powerful, Mismagius can use advanced incantations for various purposes, such as causing misery or happiness. Due to this, people often seek to capture Mismagius as if their life depends on it, solely to make someone fall in love with them. There is a custom on inviting Mismagius to one's home, usually to ward off misfortune with its spells. However, this can also lead to disaster should Mismagius ever be provoked. People that hear its cries will usually receive headaches and hallucinations. As shown in the anime, Mismagius can put its victims to sleep, and cause them to enter a strange dream world without their noticing. If Mismagius falls asleep or is knocked out, the victim will wake up. It can sometimes be found roaming around lakes and mountainsides at night.

Evolution

Mismagius evolves from Misdreavus.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

In Playing The Leveling Field!, Fantina used a Mismagius in a Contest Battle against Zoey and her Glameow. In Barry's Busting Out All Over! and A Shield with a Twist, it was used in the Gym battle against Ash. Mismagius battled Chimchar and was defeated by Ash's Counter Shield strategy.

In Coming Full-Festival Circle!, Zoey's Misdreavus was revealed to have evolved into a Mismagius. It was used in the semifinals of the Sinnoh Grand Festival alongside Zoey's Leafeon to battle Nando's Kricketune and Lopunny. Mismagius and Leafeon managed to win against Nando based on points.

In Zoroark: Master of Illusions, Grings Kodai has owned a Mismagius since it was a Misdreavus. It served Kodai faithfully and helped him by using its Psychic to prevent Ash from stopping Kodai from taking the energy from the Time Ripple and renewing his ability to see the future. Mismagius was later defeated by Pikachu's Volt Tackle.

Two Mismagius appeared in Mystery on a Deserted Island!, where at least one of them was part of the Pirate's Pokémon crew. Multiple Mismagius later appeared on the Deserted Island with the treasure. They were the first Pokémon to attack the group as well as Team Rocket.

Trivia

Origin

Mismagius seems to be based on the concept of mages and witches. Mismagius's coloration might be a reference to the Nasu-babā, a witch-like yōkai with a distinct purple skin. Its shape also resembles the Teru teru bōzu. Its Pokédex descriptions of its cries sounding like incantations and tormenting people are reminiscent of curses. 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 names in different languages referencing dreams also points to Mares as a possible inspiration.

Name origin

Mismagius may be a combination of mischievous or Misdreavus and magus or magic.

Mumargi may be a combination of 夢魔 muma (nightmare; demon in a dream) and 蠱 maji (to bewitch), mage, or magic.
