Masquerain

Masquerain (Japanese: アメモース, HepburnAmemoosu) (mas-ker-RAIN[1]) is a Bug/Flying-Type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Masquerain is a light-blue Pokémon that has no legs. Instead it has two pairs of rombus-shaped wings on its body. Its head has the shape of a teardrop. Its face is pink, it has big black eyes and small eyebrows. On each side of its head, there is an antenna, which is meant to look like an angry eye. The antennae are white with pink along the lower rim. White lines along the rim resemble eyelashes, while a large, dark pink dot in the middle represents the pupil or iris.

Characteristics[]

Due to its sensitivity, Masquerain is a weak Pokémon, but it has two antennae on its head to scare its enemies away.

Behavior[]

Masquerain is a really sensitive Pokémon and it has difficulty flying in the rain, because its wings and its antennae get wet. So, when it rains it usually stays under big trees to protect itself.

Evolution[]

Masquerain evolves from Surskit at level 22.

Trivia[]

  • Masquerain is one of the seven missing Pokémon in the Emerald Version.

Origin[]

Masquerain appears to be based on different kinds of insects. Its body shape and ability to still walk on water with its wings are based around a water strider (the insect its pre-evolution is based on). Its antennae are similar to the wings of moths, some of which have patterns appearing similar to eyes which are used to scare predators. Its antennae also resemble a masquerade. Its head also resembles a raindrop.

Etymology[]

Masquerain comes from masquerade (a type of mask) and rain.

Its Japanese name, Amemoth, is a combination of ame (雨, the Japanese word for rain), and moth.
