History DarthWiki / PokemonSpiritAndShadow

The Grass-type starter in Azuchaen, Sawmite is what's called a sawbug, with mandibles akin to saw blades and sharp leaves covering its body. By using its mandibles, it can chew its way through and even fell tall trees. It becomes Insecaw, where it gains saw-like arms, and ultimately Stagalade, a giant Grass/Bug stag beetle whose entire body is razor sharp.

The Fire-type starter in Azuchaen, Bearang is an orange-color bear with flaming fur. Said fur happens to be explosive and if its body temperature gets too high, its fur will ignite and cause an explosion akin to a bomb! It eventually becomes Blasbear, where its fists create explosions akin to dynamite, and finally Dynaursa, where it gains the Normal-type and is capable of creating an explosion equal to several kilotons!

The Water-type starter in Azuchaen, Jewhelk is a shell-less whelk with a gem planted onto its back that's found in tropical waters. The gem becomes part of it and if it loses its gem, its health will start to deteriorate. It becomes Whelgem, where the gem transforms into a crystal shell it resides in, and them Gemquoise, a large Water/Crystal cephalopod with a huge emerald shell.

A Delta Species of Morelull that has appeared in Azuchaen, Delta Morelull is a Normal/Psychic-type Pokémon that has a trio of small tracking dishes above its head that measures the frequency of electromagnetic waves, eventually becoming Delta Shiinotic, who bears a satellite dish on its head that can track objects going through the sky and in orbit. Delta Shiinotic goes on to become a new Pokémon called Satelloom, a Steel/Psychic-type satellite that hovers in the air and discharges various kinds of waves.

* AssimilationPlot: Team Aurora's plans involve merging all worlds into one while [[TheGreatFlood also flooding it]].

The Water-type starter in Azuchaen, Jewhelk is a shell-less whelk with a gem planted onto its back that's found in tropical waters. The gem becomes part of it and if it loses its gem, its health will start to deteriorate.

A villainous team found in Azuchaen, Team Starfire is a group with an [[IdolSinger idol motif]] to them. With its higher-ups consisting of actual idols, people don't take Team Starfire seriously as villains, but this is only a façade of theirs. It turns out that the idols of Nebula form the inner circle of the organization and use their fame and influence to sway the public away from their more arcane operations. [[spoiler: It turns out Team Starfire's grand scheme is to capture Spiradies and Shadoctis and combine their power with mind-linking technology they've developed in order to replace the minds of every living thing with that of their leader!]] Team Starfire is more prominent in Pokémon Spirit and the PLUS Expansions.

A second villainous team found in Azuchaen, Team Helix is an organization that believes that Delta Pokémon are superior to normal Pokémon. They're known to experiment on various Pokémon and might have brought forth the more recent Delta Pokémon. With their higher-ups being found in such positions, they have connections to institutions such as Delta Academy, Atori Inc., [[spoiler: and even Haven Academy]]. [[spoiler: It turns out Team Helix's ultimate plan is to capture Spiradies and Shadoctis and use their power to destroy all Pokémon that aren't Delta Pokémon in order for a new world of only Delta Pokémon to begin!]] Team Helix is more prominent in Pokémon Shadow.

* SchrodingersCanon: Whether ''Pokémon Spirit and Shadow'' follows the events of ''DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame'' or ''[[UpdatedRerelease Pokémon BlazeFrost and ChillFlame]]'' is meant to be ambiguous, although things such as Pokémon, characters, and mechanics introduced in the latter are present in Spirit and Shadow.

* {{Wutai}}: Pokémon Spirit and Shadow takes place in Azuchaen, a region based off of mainly southeast China and its surrounding nations.

* TurtleIsland: Gemquoise's Spirit Pokédex entry states that there's a local legend that says the island of Wakanatai resides on a colossal Gemquoise.

* ShoutOut: Nekoment's coloring is based off of Chocola from ''VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}}'', with her shiny coloring based off Vanilla from the same game. In addition, Nekoment's Spirit Pokédex entry says that they're commonly seen in maid cafés, another nod to ''Nekopara''.

* SuperStrength: Onioctag's Shadow Pokédex entry says that it is capable of lifting stones weighing over 50 tons and then throwing them as far as several miles over the horizon.

* SuperStrength: Kniragon's Shadow Pokédex entry states that by repeatedly ramming using its heavy armor body, it can eventually topple mountains.
* SuperToughness: Kniragon's Spirit Pokédex entry says that the armor making up its body is [[MadeOfIndestructium considered to be indestructible]]. This is reflected in its ability of Steel Armor, which reduces super-effective damage done to it.

* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler: Late into the game, Spiradies (Spirit) or Shadoctis (Shadow) gets captured by Team Helix, later taken by Team Starfire (and back to Team Helix in Shadow). The Legendary is then put into a satellite whose function is to overwrite the minds of everyone in the world (Team Starfire, Spirit) or wipe out anything that isn't a Delta Pokémon (Team Helix, Shadow).]]
** [[spoiler: In ''Spirit and Shadow PLUS'', while either Spiradies (Spirit PLUS) or Shadoctis (Shadow PLUS) gets captured for use in Team Starfire's plans, Reflatera then gets captured by Team Helix in order to be used in their own plans.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: In ''Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS'', during the climax of Team Helix's plans, when Reflatera changes form, Dynamaxes, and merges the Realm of Day and Realm of Night, either Mystiflos (Spirit PLUS) or Mystiavem (Shadow PLUS) comes out of its Pokéballl (or simply arrives) to diminish Reflatera's power, allowing you to fight it.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Depending on the game, Spiradies uses its energy to create a Spirit Burst that destroys Team Starfire's mind-linking machine (Spirit) or Shadoctis flies up to Team Helix's falling satellite and destroys it with a Shadow Strike (Shadow). However, doing this causes Spiradies or Shadoctis to disintegrate. Fortunately, it leaves a Mystiflos or Mystiavem in its place, which under your care can become another Spiradies or Shadoctis.]]
** [[spoiler: In ''Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS'', Spiradies (Spirit PLUS) or Shadoctis (Shadow PLUS) does the above in order to destroy Team Starfire's machine while Reflatera later uses a Mirror Pulse to destroy Team Helix's satellite, but the end result causes it to regress into Mirrlaena.]]

** [[spoiler: In ''Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS'', during the endgame, Reflatera enters either its [=DayRealm=] (Spirit PLUS) or [=NightRealm=] (Shadow PLUS) form before appearing to Dynamax. During this fight, all of its stats are raised by half a stage in addition to the above, but you get help from Sayaka, Riku, and Blake with fighting it.]]

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite Delta Gyarados's Shadow Pokédex entry stating it's likely actually a regional variant instead of a Delta Pokémon, it and Delta Magikarp are still treated as Delta Pokémon in-game and are also in the Delta Egg Group.

* MythologyGag: In ''VideoGame/PokemonInsurgence'', Delta Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon are Ground/Poison-type, unlike in the SFA-Verse. Reflecting this, Delta Deino's Shadow Pokédex entry states that sightings of it outside Azuchaen have it be Ground-type.

'''NOTE: ∆ Dewpider and ∆ Araquanid are introduced in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS.'''\\

'''NOTE: ∆ Morelull, ∆ Shiinotic, and Satelloom are introduced in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS.'''\\

** [[spoiler: In ''Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS'', he brings out Reflatera, which he then uses the Mirror Cube to force it into its [=DayRealm=] (Spirit PLUS) or [=NightRealm=] (Shadow PLUS) Form before having it Dynamax, leading to a Max Raid Battle. In this battle, all of its stats are increased by half a stage.]]

* PutOnABusToHell: [[spoiler: After being defeated at the Atori Building (Spirit) or Shiléng Center (Shadow), Mr. Atori is arrested by Looker and the International Police, effectively removing him from the story.]]

!Tropes that apply to the Fusion Teams as a whole:

A mysterious group that shows up in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, Remnant is an organization that operates behind the scenes, with the public not even knowing of their existence. Very little is known about them, with their origin and goals a total mystery, although others will ally with them.

[[folder: As a Whole *Spoilers*]]

A collection of past villainous teams that appear in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS' Northern Expedition, the "fusion villain teams" as they're called are groups that have somehow appeared in Azuchaen, each one being a fusion of two villain teams from both the official games and the SFA-Verse. Each fusion team has a base located somewhere throughout Southwest, Southeast, Northwest, and Northeast Azuchaen that you must infiltrate to put a stop to their plans. However, there is something unknown that has brought them together. There are two different sets of fusion teams depending on which game you're playing.\\

!The fusion villain teams are as follows:\\
\\

'''Team Solar''' ([[Characters/PokemonVillainTeamAquaMagma Team Magma]] and [[DarthWiki/PokemonSeasonsAndAges Team Flora]])

Almost a year later, ideas for DLC follow-ups to ''Pokémon Spirit and Shadow'' called ''Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS'' would begin. This consists of two expansions known as the Southern Expedition and Northern Expedition, which add in a number of new areas in addition to new Pokémon, new Delta variants, and new characters. They also bring in 8th Generation Pokemon

Like other entries in the SFA-Verse, ''Pokémon Spirit and Shadow'' introduces a bunch of new Pokémon that add on to the already existing ones, which also has the various other things to expect in a Pokédex. Clocking in at 7[[spoiler:5]], this set is considerably smaller than the last, but the appearance of just as many [[VideoGame/PokemonInsurgence Delta Pokémon]] more than make up for it.

[[folder: Quartell and Quartoise]]
