Illumise is a firefly-like, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a blue face and large, slanted blue eyes with purple markings at the corners. Surrounding its head are purple curls that frame its face. Its antennae are small and yellow. Its body is black with a blue belly and a yellow bid marking. Its arms and legs are black and are connected to the body by purple borders. It has small wings used for flying with others, and a pattern of three oblong yellow spots on its rear. This is a female only species; {{p|Volbeat}} is its male counterpart.
Illumise resembles a firefly with feminine traits. Her body is black and blue, with two vertical stripes going down the front. Her arms and legs are black as well, and are connected to the body by purple borders. On her front is what resembles a yellow bow or shawl. She has large, slanted eyes with blue irises, and appears to be smiling, unlike her male counterpart, {{p|Volbeat}}. Surrounding her head is a purple appendage with curls at the end that frame its face. Her antennae are also smaller than Volbeat's, and are yellow in color. Illumise has small wings used for flying with others of the species. Illumise has a pattern of three oblong yellow spots on its rear.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Like Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂, an {{pkmn|egg}} laid by an Illumise has a chance of containing a {{p|Volbeat}}.
* Illumise shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its male counterpart {{p|Volbeat}}. They are both known as the Firefly Pokémon.
* Illumise shares the same [[species]] name with its male counterpart {{p|Volbeat}}. They are both known as Firefly Pokémon.
* Illumise and its counterpart are the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.
** Despite being the Firefly Pokémon, it can be found all day in {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, unlike real fireflies who are nocturnal.
** No other Pokémon have the same dual [[Egg Group]] as Illumise and {{p|Volbeat|its counterpart}}. They are in both the {{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Human-Like}} groups.
*Despite Illumise being {{type2|Bug}}, in [[Generation III]], it cannot learn any Bug-type move via level-up, and even via breeding, only {{m|Silver Wind}} can be taught to it.
 
* Illumise, along with Volbeat, was thought to have been the first {{T|Bug}}/{{T|Electric}} type Pokémon, according to a [[Nintendo Power]] issue released before {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. However, this was later proved false.
* Although Illumise clearly flies, can learn several {{type2|Flying}} moves and and its Pokédex entries state that it can fly, it is not part {{t|Flying}}-type, nor can it have the ability {{a|Levitate}}. It shares this trait with its male counterpart {{p|Volbeat}}, as well as {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Dustox}}, and {{p|Ulgamoth}}.
*Illumise is the only non-{{type2|Grass}} that can learn {{m|Growth}}, other than {{p|Smeargle}}, who can use it by using {{m|Sketch}}.
*Illumise is the only Pokémon in Generation III whose name starts with the letter I.
*Before [[Generation V]], Illumise was the only non-Poison Pokémon to learn {{m|Flatter}} by leveling up.
*Every one of Illumise's Pokédex entries mention Volbeat.
*As of [[Generation V]], no other Pokémon have same dual [[egg group]] as Illumise and {{p|Volbeat|her counterpart}}. In this case, both in {{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Humanshape}} are unique.
===Origin===
===Origin===
Illumise appears to be based on {{wp|Lampyridae}}s (also known as fireflies) like its counterpart, {{p|Volbeat}}. It does not seem to share its coloring with any particular species. Illumise may be based on {{wp|Flapper|flappers}}, a 1920's women's style. They usually had {{wp|Bob cut|bobbed hair}}, like Illumise's purple "hair", and wore taboo dresses and outfits. Illumise seems to be wearing a black jacket, coat, or dress, similar to Volbeat's, with purple arm and leg cuffs. The yellow bow-like shape under its neck is reminiscent to that of a yellow {{wp|Collar (clothing)#Collar_styles|peter pan collar}} and the stripes on its abdomen resemble a {{wp|girdle}}.

Illumise (Japanese: イルミーゼ Illumise) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it is related to Volbeat and can produce Eggs that contain either Illumise or Volbeat.

Biology

Illumise is a firefly-like, bipedal Pokémon. It has a blue face and large, slanted blue eyes with purple markings at the corners. Surrounding its head are purple curls that frame its face. Its antennae are small and yellow. Its body is black with a blue belly and a yellow bid marking. Its arms and legs are black and are connected to the body by purple borders. It has small wings used for flying with others, and a pattern of three oblong yellow spots on its rear. This is a female only species; Volbeat is its male counterpart.

Illumise uses its sweet aromas to lure in Volbeat and have them draw geometric patterns in the sky. It is said to earn respect from others by composing designs that are more complex. Over 200 different patterns have been discovered. It is a nocturnal Pokémon that lives in forests.

Trivia

Origin

Illumise appears to be based on a lampyridae (also known as a glowworm, firefly, or lightningbug) like its counterpart, Volbeat. It does not seem to share its coloring with any particular species. Illumise may also be based on flappers, a 1920s women's style. They usually had bobbed hair, like Illumise's purple "hair", and wore taboo dresses and outfits. Illumise seems to be wearing a leotard, black jacket, coat, or dress, similar to Volbeat's, with purple arm and leg cuffs. The yellow bow-like shape under its neck is reminiscent to that of a yellow Peter Pan collar and the stripes on its abdomen resemble a girdle.

Name origin

Illumise may be a combination of illuminate and luciferase (class of enzymes that produces bioluminescence).
