Masquerain is a light blue {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two pairs of rhombus-shaped wings on each side of its body. Its head is shaped like an elongated teardrop with a pink face and round, black eyes. On either side of its head is a large antenna that resembles 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. These eyespots are used to intimidate enemies.

Masquerain is a light blue {{wp|insect}}oid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two pairs of rhombus-shaped wings on each side of its body. Its head is shaped like an elongated teardrop with a pink face and round, black eyes. On either side of its head is a large antenna that resembles an angry eye.

These eyespots are used to intimidate enemies.


Masquerain's four wings allow it to fly in any direction and hover, but it cannot fly when its wings are wet. Additionally, rainy weather causes its antennae to become heavy and droop. In order to protect its wings and antennae, this Pokémon will shelter under trees or the eaves of houses. Masquerain lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge.}}

Additionally, rainy weather causes its antennae to become heavy and droop. In order to protect its wings and antennae, this Pokémon will shelter under trees or the eaves of houses.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Masquerain seems to be based on a variety of {{wp|insect}}s. Although rarely shown, it apparently has the ability to walk on the surface of water using its wings as if they were legs, so it may be based on a {{wp|water strider}}. Its Japanese name suggests inspiration from {{wp|moth}}s, many of which use {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} to frighten would-be predators. Its habitat, translucent wings, and hovering flight pattern are reminiscent of {{wp|dragonflies}} and {{wp|damselflies}}. Its raindrop-shaped head resembles some {{wp|Fulgoridae|lanternflies}}. Its {{wp|mimicry}} of an angry face is similar to a {{wp|mask}} or cat face.

Masquerain (Japanese: アメモース Amemoth) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Surskit starting at level 22.

Biology

Masquerain's translucent wings

Masquerain is a light blue insectoid Pokémon with two pairs of rhombus-shaped wings on each side of its body. Its head is shaped like an elongated teardrop with a pink face and round, black eyes. On either side of its head is a large antenna that resembles 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. These eyespots are used to intimidate enemies.

Masquerain's four wings allow it to fly in any direction and hover, but it cannot fly when its wings are wet. As shown in its official artwork and the TCG, the wings are translucent. Additionally, rainy weather causes its antennae to become heavy and droop. In order to protect its wings and antennae, this Pokémon will shelter under trees or the eaves of houses. Masquerain lives on water's edge.

Evolution

Masquerain evolves from Surskit.

Ruby Masquerain intimidates enemies with the eyelike patterns on its antennas. This Pokémon flaps its four wings to freely fly in any direction - even sideways and backwards - as if it were a helicopter.
Sapphire Masquerain's antennas have eyelike patterns that usually give it an angry look. If the “eyes” are droopy and appear sad, it is said to be a sign that a heavy rainfall is on its way.
Emerald It intimidates foes with the large eyelike patterns on its antennae. Because it can't fly if its wings get wet, it shelters itself from rain under large trees and eaves.
FireRed The antennae have distinctive patterns that look like eyes. When it rains, they grow heavy, making flight impossible.

Trivia

  • Masquerain can be seen as a counterpart to Araquanid. Both share the Bug type and the same base stat totals, and both can be found at Malie Garden in Pokémon Sun and Moon, taking the place of the other depending on the time, with Masquerain being found during the night and Araquanid in the day. Furthermore, both are the evolved forms of Pokémon based partially on water striders.
  • Of all changes to base stat totals, Masquerain received the largest increase at 40 in Generation VII.

Origin

Masquerain seems to be based on a variety of insects. Although rarely shown, it apparently has the ability to walk on the surface of water using its wings as if they were legs, so it may be based on a water strider. Its Japanese name suggests inspiration from moths, many of which use eyespots to frighten would-be predators. Masquerain's eyespots, in particular, form a pattern similar to a mask or a cat face. Masquerain's habitat, translucent wings, hovering flight pattern, and its transformation from the Water-type Surskit to a Flying-type are reminiscent of dragonflies and damselflies. Its raindrop-shaped head resembles some lanternflies.

Name origin

Masquerain may be a combination of masquerade (a disguise) and rain.

Amemoth may be a combination of 雨 ame (rain) or 水黽 amenbo (water strider) and moth.
