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 long neck with a round lump midway down. 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.

If it is powerful, Mismagius can use advanced incantations for various purposes, such as causing misery or happiness. 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.

Major appearances

Mismagius made its debut appearance in Malice In Wonderland!.

A Mismagius made an appearance in Arriving in Style! competing in the Hearthome Collection under the ownership of Pokémon Stylist Cocoa.

Fantina has a Mismagius that she used in a Contest Battle against Zoey and her Glameow in Playing The Leveling Field!. It reappeared in Barry's Busting Out All Over! and again in A Shield with a Twist, where it was used in the Gym battle against Ash. It battled against Ash's Chimchar but was defeated.

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

A Mismagius is owned by the antagonist of Zoroark: Master of Illusions, Grings Kodai which he has owned since it was a Misdreavus. Years ago, when Kodai first discovered the Time Ripple, Misdreavus was present at the scene. After evolving, Mismagius still served Kodai faithfully and helped him by using its Psychic attack to prevent Ash from stopping Kodai from taking the energy from the 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 and multiple later appeared on the island with the treasure. They were the first Pokémon to attack the group as well as Team Rocket.
