Stantler (Japanese: オドシシ Odoshishi) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Stantler are antlered Pokémon that are similar to real-life reindeer or caribou. These Pokémon are quadrupeds, with each leg ending in a black hoof. The pelt of a Stantler is a tan colour with a creamy belly and a few spots. They also have large, brown noses and a pair of pale cream antlers, each with a ball of black in the centre. There is confusion whether the tail of a Stantler is cream or brown, since the art has differed this way between generations, however, the art from Pokémon HeartGold and Soulsilver depict Stantler with round tails, the same brown as their pelt.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Stantler can distort reality and create illusions with its antlers. Staring into them creates an odd sensation, as if one is being sucked through them, and one may become so dizzy it makes them impossible to stand.

Its strange antlers are very valuable artefacts that Pokémon hunters poach Stantler for. The species was nearly driven to the extinction for this.

In the anime

A Stantler in the anime.

In The Little Big Horn, Brock helped a baby Stantler reunite with its herd. A little while before that, Stantler created an illusion of a stampeding herd of Stantler in self defense, but it was later seen through by Brock.

In Different Strokes for Different Blokes, Ash got lost in a forest that contained many Stantler with his Turtwig. Some of the Stantler used Hypnosis on the two, giving them various hallucinations. Paul captured one of the Stantler but released it after deciding that it wasn't worthy for his team.

It was also seen as part of Lila's famous "tiger lily smile" in Battling the Generation Gap!.

Many Stantler appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Santa Claus has a group of Stantler to pull his sleigh, officially replacing his Ponyta.

Pokémon Special

Stantler first appeared in Template:PSV under the ownership of Professor Oak, who used it often for transport during its appearances.

Trivia

• In the older Sugimori artwork of Stantler, it is depicted with a white tail. However, only its third generation and Crystal sprites have it with a white tail.
  • In the newer artwork, however, it has a brown tail.
• Stantler's Template:Shiny2 form has a red nose, which some compare to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Origin

It appears to be based on a reindeer, since both the males and females have antlers.

Name origin

Stantler's name may be combination of stag and antler. Its Japanese name probably comes from 鹿威し shishiodoshi, which is a Japanese device traditionally used to scare deer and birds away from gardens.

In other languages

• German: Damhirplex - From Damhirsch (fallow deer) and perplex (astonished).
• French: Cerfrousse - From cerf (deer) and frousse (fright).
• Korean: 노라키 Noraki
• Chinese: 驚角鹿
