Meditite (Japanese: アサナン Asanan) is a dual-type Fighting/Psychic Pokémon.

It evolves into Medicham starting at level 37.

Biology

Physiology

Meditite, in reference to its name, resembles a person meditating, sitting with knees bent and feet together with its hands resting on its knees. It also resembles a certain yoga position. Its lower body is blue, with white on the wrists, feet, and what seems to be pants, or possibly a diaper. Its head is also white, with an onion-like shape and large ears. Its eyes are large and seem to be focused.

Gender differences

A male's ears are higher up than a female's.

Special abilities

Its meditation gives it inner strength and spiritual power. It also is able to endure long periods without eating.

Behavior

They are very focused in their practices of meditation and yoga, and seem to be very spiritual Pokémon as well.

Trivia

• In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Meditite is obtainable via the Sinnoh Sound even though it originates from the Hoenn region.
  • However, it appears in the Sinnoh Pokédex.
• Despite its Emerald Pokédex entry stating that it can fly, it cannot learn the move.
  • However, it may be talking about meditation, an act which normally shows people floating.
    • Even if it were referring to levitation by meditation, it can not have the ability Levitate or learn Magnet Rise.

Origin

It resembles a primate of some sort. It appears to have been based on a practitioner of yoga and is meditating in almost all of the media it appears in. Its yoga position in its artwork and sprites is the Lotus, where one crosses his/her legs and places their feet on the opposing thighs. This position supposedly holds the mind completely steady for long periods of time and calms it, heightening the user's senses. Its hat somewhat resembles a turban and may also be the caps worn by many depictions of Hindu deities, such as Shiva, who are commonly seen meditating.

Name origin

Meditite's name is a corruption of meditate and possibly a corruption of tyke, while Asanan is most likely a corruption of asana, which in yoga refers to a pose or posture.

In other languages

• German: Meditie
• French: Meditikka
• Korean: 요가랑 Yogarang
• Chinese (Taiwan): 瑪沙那 Mǎ Shā Nà - Transliteration of its Japanese name.
