Trivia
- Misdreavus's name can be said two ways. In Diamond & Pearl, it is said mis-dr-vis. In Battle Frontier, it is said mis-dre-vus.
Origin
It is likely that Misdreavus was based on a banshee, a female spirit from Gaelic folklore who was known for its unearthly wailing and screaming.
Misdreavus was the first pure ghost-type Pokemon to be introduced.
Name origin
Misdreavus's name is a misspelling of mischievous. It is also possible that reave, or rob, was incorporated into the name, while another possibility is the addition of dread was incorporated into the name, or the word "dreary". Its Japanese name, Muma, is probably a corruption of of 夢魔 muma, nightmare, or a demon in a dream.
