Power Progression

Recorded Stats

• Xia Chi estimates that she is a rare 2V Pokémon, with perfect individual values in Special Attack and Speed. This is his inference from her stats, not a displayed system rating 38.

Background / History

Misdreavus grew up in the wild on Mingchong Mountain. She frightened the local Oddish at night to feed on their fear, preventing them from resting properly under the moonlight 34 36.

Her first encounter with Xia Chi followed one of his horror stories. She collided with Pachirisu, mistook it for a ghost, and sought shelter beside Xia Chi. After Sprigatito restrained her with vines, she escaped using Confusion—but was too frightened to remain in the bushes. Xia Chi coaxed her back with mushroom soup and a warning about Banette 36.

Xia Chi offered her more horror stories, good food, and training if she joined him. When she dismissed Sprigatito's strength, he proposed a capture battle. Sprigatito overwhelmed her with Bite, Quick Attack, and Protean's type changes. Misdreavus continued fighting out of pride until she could no longer battle, then willingly touched Xia Chi's Poké Ball and became his second Pokémon 36 37.

Appearance

• Body: Light, ghostlike, and dark grayish-purple 36.
• Mane: Purple, floating like ghostly flames, with faintly reddish tips. Its texture is a moldable, gel-like fluid rather than gas 36 38.
• Necklace: Glowing red spirit beads that store fear 36.
• Eyes: Described as large and yellow or yellow-orange, though some passages call them crimson 36 37 39.
• Other features: Two small fangs and a pink tongue 36 38.

Personality

Misdreavus loves frightening others but is herself terrified of ghosts. She enjoys horror stories despite becoming badly scared by them; her fear does not extend to people or ordinary social encounters 36 42.

She is proud and competitive in battle. Even after accepting the prospect of joining Xia Chi, she refuses to surrender to Sprigatito because she does not want to enter their household as the inferior partner 37.

Her curiosity and trusting nature make her easy to persuade. Fascinated by the city lights outside Xia Chi's dorm, she accepts Sprigatito's claim that nighttime restrictions do not apply to her. Even after Sprigatito admits the deception, she does not understand what she was lied to about 39 40.

She responds warmly to praise and to being needed. Xia Chi wins her agreement to cook their daily meals by emphasizing how her food will help him and Sprigatito stay healthy. She also takes mischievous satisfaction in impressing Sprigatito with her cooking 38 45.

Abilities & Skills

Lord of the Underworld

Her exclusive bond rewards prolonged participation in battle with Underworld Mark stacks 37.

• Gains one stack per minute on the battlefield, up to 20 stacks.
• Each stack grants 5% adaptive Attack/Special Attack, 5% Speed, and 5% life drain.
• The adaptive bonus applies to whichever offensive stat is higher.
• Full stacks require twenty minutes on the battlefield. Xia Chi identifies protecting her during this buildup as the central tactical problem and considers a hybrid tank/damage-dealer role 37.

Speedy Attacker

Misdreavus shares this bond with Sprigatito, activating its two-member tier upon joining the team 37.

• The bond also improves Sprigatito's move execution during the Shanghai Pokémon Cup, though it is still insufficient to act before Hitmonlee's opening Fake Out 43.

Ghost-Type Bond

Listed as inactive in her capture profile 37.

• Base effect: 10% chance to perfectly evade an incoming attack, followed by a guaranteed critical hit on the next move.
• Six-Ghost tier: evasion chance rises to 25%, and each perfect evasion increases critical-hit damage by 10%.
• Xia Chi regards the low-tier chance as too unreliable to make central to his tactics 37.

Moves and Combat Style

• She favors ranged attacks and struggles when Sprigatito closes into melee range 37.
• Her special offense complements Sprigatito against opponents with high physical Defense and low Special Defense, such as Aggron 39.
• Her registered Ability is Levitate 37.

Fear Feeding

• Converts the fear of other beings into energy and stores it in her red spirit beads 36.
• Can help earn the team's system Fear through battle despite lacking a Dark-type bond herself 40.
• Her frightening presence does not physically alter the surroundings; the apparent change in atmosphere comes from others' state of mind 36.

Cooking

• Uses her elongated mane to hold utensils and Confusion to manipulate ingredients 38.
• Improves instant mushroom soup with Beedrill honey and Oran Berry juice, balancing its sweetness and richness 38.
• Accepts responsibility for all three daily meals for herself, Xia Chi, and Sprigatito 38.
• Later prepares roasted beef short ribs and salad; even the usually meat-averse Sprigatito enthusiastically eats the ribs 45.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Poké Ball — Voluntarily enters it after losing her capture battle 37.
• Pokémon tracker — Purchased by Xia Chi; its linked app lets him monitor her location and allows her and Sprigatito to locate each other 49.
• System equipment — None at capture. Xia Chi still has not supplied her with a system item by Chapter 49 and hopes to obtain a completed item through the tournament's Prismatic Orb reward 37 49.

Relationships

• Xia Chi — Trainer and caretaker. He recruits her, treats her injuries, entrusts her with cooking, and grants her nighttime freedom subject to safety rules 36 37 38 40.
• Sprigatito — Initially a hostile rival who defeats her and later manipulates her into a nighttime outing. After an apology and repeated joint patrols, they become close partners who still bicker and roughhouse 37 39 40.
• Iono — Indirect training benefactor. Having raised a Misdreavus herself, she gives Xia Chi her training notes without requesting payment or a favor 40.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Campus Night Patrols

• On her first night in the dorm, Sprigatito persuades her to go outside and prank nearby aggressive Pokémon, then follows her to obtain extra training 39.
• Together they defeat the Primeape Rampage Gang. The battle log records their victory over a level 28 Primeape, although Xia Chi's subsequent reprimand describes it as level 29 39 40.
• Xia Chi abandons his blanket nighttime restriction but forbids provoking opponents far stronger than them. Their subsequent campus patrols bring them closer and help raise the team's Fear from 43 to 62 over ten days 40.

Shanghai Pokémon Cup

• Xia Chi leaves her home for the main tournament after other trainers repeatedly complain that she has frightened their Pokémon 42.
• Her cooking provides the feast awaiting Xia Chi and Sprigatito after their tournament matches 44 45.
• She accompanies Xia Chi to the final on December 22, League Calendar year 224. Excited by the crowd's potential fear, she agrees to remain in the lounge and behave after Xia Chi threatens to return her to her Poké Ball 50.
