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

It evolves from Surskit starting at level 22.

Biology

Masquerain is a light-blue Pokémon with two pairs of rhombus-shaped wings. These wings allow it to fly in any direction, but it cannot fly if its wings are wet. Its head is shaped like an elongated teardrop with a pink face and round, black eyes with white pupils. It has a pair of large, pink and white antennae resembling a pair of angry eyes. These eyespots are used to intimidate its enemies. Rainy weather causes its antennae to become heavy and the eye patterns to appear droopy. It will shelter itself under trees or the eaves of houses to protect its wings and antennae from the rain. It lives on water's edge.
