Darth Wiki / Pokemon Spirit And Shadow

Pokémon Spirit and Shadow is a Pokémon game idea created by Sunflorazumarill that started in March 2019. It is the fourth entry in what is called the SFA-Verse, following Pokémon Flora and Azure, Pokémon Infinite and Zero, and Pokémon Frost and Flame. Just like its predecessors, it uses characters taken from various games, anime, manga, visual novels, and more and puts them in various roles such as important Trainers, Gym Leaders, Elite Four, villains, and more, and also introduces a slew of new Pokémon. In addition to this, it also brings in new takes on various older Pokémon in the form of Delta Pokémon (from Pokémon Insurgence).

The game takes place in Azuchaen, a region based off of Southeast China and surrounding areas such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Tibet. The region is considered to be one of the largest in the Pokémon world and is split up into four parts based on the cardinal directions. The typical formula of Pokémon games is in play here, where you play as a new Trainer from Chaitra Town starting their Pokémon journey. Along the way, you'll fight Gym Leaders, the Elite Four & Champion, and also cross paths with Team Starfire and Team Helix. You'll also learn about the two Legendary Pokémon said to reside over the Realm of Day and the Realm of Night.

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, moves, abilities, and items into Spirit and Shadow as well as Dynamax.

Pokémon Spirit and Shadow

Pokémon Spirit and Shadow provides examples of:

• Ambiguous Gender: In addition to the usual male and female choices for the player character, there's now also a gender neutral option that you may select.
• Artistic License – Geography: Himaletan, which is supposed to be the Azuchaen equivalent of Tibet, is located on the north end of the region, while Tibet and the Himalayas are located in the southwest corner of China. invoked Word of God is aware of this, but considers a cold, mountainous area better suited to be found in the northern part of the region.
• Boss in Mook's Clothing: After beating the Elite Four, you can go back to Route 601 where Youngster Qiaoyi ^note Whose lineup first consists of just a L3 Larvomb and Twift., the first Trainer you ever fought besides your rival, has trained up his Pokémon during the course of the game and wants to rematch you. This time around, he comes at you with an unexpectedly strong lineup ^note Which consists of Lumbird, Gunnernet, Astrotar, ∆ Volcarona, ∆ Dragonite, and Kniragon, all at Level 65 and packing powerful movesets. that can give the Champion's lineup a run for his money!
• Bubblegloop Swamp: The Realm of Night equivalent of Huisuan Desert is Huisuan Swamp, a large marsh with pools of green mud you can get stuck in.
• Cool Train: The Gondola Express, which travels in between West Azuchaen and South Azuchaen, is a unique train consisting of connected gondolas moving over the ground.
• Dark World: There is a place called the Realm of Night, which is accessed from what are called "gates". In the Realm of Night, the time of day is reversed, locations come in different colors, some locations are different, and strange plants and flowers are found throughout. You can only enter the Realm of Night while inside a "gate" when the time of day turns to night and when night ends, you get transported back to the Realm of Day. Going through the large mirror in the Mirror Temple allows you to enter the Realm of Night at any time and without getting warped back. Having Reflatera in your party allows you to switch between the Realm of Day and Realm of Night anytime, anywhere.
• Death Mountain: Himaletan in North Azuchaen is a mountain rage consisting of some of the tallest mountains in the Pokémon world, surpassed only by Mt. Germania in Halkeginia. There's also Huolong Mountain in East Azuchaen, a large volcano with the Pokémon League at its top.
• Developer's Foresight: When it comes to the PLUS Mode Story of the Southern Expedition, since it changes where and when Reflatera is obtained, if you download the expansion at any point after that but before catching Reflatera, it'll still appear (well, Mirrlaena will) in the center of the Mirror Temple for you to catch.
• Eternal Engine: There are two such locations in Azuchaen; the Tidal Dam Plant in East Azuchaen and the Azuchaen Chemical Complex in West Azuchaen. The magnetic power plant motif of the Hari Kang Gym is another example.
• Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Azuchaen has some areas based off of real-life locations in and around China:
  • Azuchaen mainland: Southeast China
  • Hari Kang: Hong Kong
  • Wakanatai: Taiwan
  • Himaletan: Tibet
• Floating Continent: There is a downplayed example with Lake Matsu in West Azuchaen, which has a number of floating islands over it that you can make your way across.
• Ghost Town: Somewhere in between East Azuchaen and North Azuchaen is the Abandoned Town, an aptly named town in the cooler northern climate of the region.
• Home Field Advantage: Five of the eight Gyms contain a Field Effect reflecting the specialty of the Gym:
  • The Hari Kang Gym has a Power Plant Field Effect that powers up Electric-type moves and special Steel-type moves.
  • The Depthine Gym has a Cavern Field Effect that powers up Rock-type moves, which while not the specialty of the Gym, are known by several of the Pokémon fought there.
  • The Wallside Gym has a Sand Field Effect that powers up Ground-type moves.
  • The Frozomet Gym has an Ice Field Effect that powers up Ice-type moves and halves the power of Fire-type moves.
  • The Lunihyou Gym has a Starlight Field Effect with a Lunar Field Effect that powers up Dark-type, Psychic-type, and Fairy-type moves and even further powers up Lunar Cannon and Moonblast.
  • The final battle with Maiyuri has Starlight and Lunar Field Effects that power up any Dark-type, Psychic-type, and Fairy-type moves and power up Moonblast and Lunar Cannon even further.
• Lethal Lava Land: Huolong Mountain is a volcano located past the Grand Gate. Going through the inside and up the mountain is Victory Road and the Pokémon League is on top of the volcano. The Champion's chamber happens to be located in the volcano's crater itself.
• Mega City: Jingang City, which serves as Azuchaen's capital and is based off of Beijing, is a humongous city with multiple fly locations, a giant stadium used for tournaments, a Game Corner, a set of towers containing things such as a shopping center, an aquarium, and an amusement park, a large and prestigious university, a massive idol agency where the Nebula idols began their careers, a sprawling park containing wild Pokémon, the Jade Palace, which is where Azuchaen's Empress resides, and two Gyms.
• Mirror Boss: Upon reaching the large mirror in the Mirror Temple, a shadowy image of yourself emerges and you must battle it, where it has the exact same Pokémon as you, levels, stats, moves, abilities, and all. In the post-game, in order to reach Reflatera, you need to battle two such shadow images in a 3-Way Battle.
• Missing Mom: In a departure from other Pokémon games, instead of a mother at their home, the player character has a father, with the mother stated to be deceased. This is the case with Sayaka's mother as well.
• Palmtree Panic: This is the main theme for most of East Azuchaen, with the island of Wakanatai being the biggest example.
• Restart the World:
  • In these particular games, it's revealed that humanity was once on equal footing with Pokémon and was watched over by two Pokémon called the Being of White Light and Being of Black Light. Many thousands of years ago, many civilizations had banded together and attempted to overthrow them. In the end, the Being of Black Light wiped out all of humanity and the two beings decided to leave the world, the Being of White Light making it so that humanity would be reborn one day, meaning in the SFA-Verse, this is actually humanity's second time around.
  • In the Spirit and Shadow saga of Pokémon: The Series (SFA-Verse), Mr. Atori's plan is to wipe out all life, Pokémon and human, so that a new world of only Delta Species will be born, bringing up this basically unknown legend.
• Ribcage Ridge: Skibison Ridge is an area in Himaletan said to be the skeleton of a gigantic Skibison that carried the nomadic civilization that once resided in Nostrum.
• Schrödinger's Canon: Whether Pokémon Spirit and Shadow follows the events of Pokémon Frost and Flame or Pokémon BlazeFrost and ChillFlame is meant to be ambiguous, although things such as Pokémon, characters, and mechanics introduced in the latter are present in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow.
• Shifting Sand Land: Azuchaen has three examples; Huisuan Desert located in West Azuchaen, Menagerie Desert, which makes up two-thirds of the Island of Menagerie, and the Wallside Gym, which contains a desert inside of it.
• Shout-Out
  • One of the scientists you battle in the Wallside Lab is obsessed with getting Szechuan sauce that was available for a limited time in Azuchaen restaurants.
  • Pandefu Town in North Azuchaen is inspired by the Kung Fu Panda franchise.
• Slippy-Slidey Ice World: The standout example in Azuchaen is the area of Himaletan, which goes a couple miles up. At lower altitudes, there's Iceline Forest, Iceline City, and Iceline Glacier. In the Realm of Night, there's also Menagerie Tundra.
• Space Elevator: The Battle Elevator is such a structure that serves as Azuchaen's battle facility. The more battles you win the higher you go, with the Boss Trainer located at the very top dome of the elevator.
• Temple of Doom: The Mirror Temple located in Himaletan is a large ancient structure filled with bizarre crystal mirrors. It also houses a mirror that allows permanent access to the Realm of Night, where the temple is strange and nightmarish, and in the post-game you can find Mirrlaena, which can become Reflatera.
• Wutai: Pokémon Spirit and Shadow takes place in Azuchaen, a region based off of mainly southeast China and its surrounding nations.
• Your Size May Vary: Similar to Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Pokémon you encounter may come in different sizes than normal, such as smaller or larger. This also applies to some Pokémon used by various important Trainers and given the weight differences between sizes, this affects moves such as Low Kick, Grass Knot, Heavy Slam, Heat Crash, and Sky Drop.

SFA-DEX-A FAMILIES

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 various other things to expect in a Pokédex. Clocking in at 75, this set is considerably smaller than the last, but the appearance of just as many Delta Pokémon more than make up for it.

Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS brings in 15 new Pokémon into the games, some of which are evolutions for new Delta Pokémon that also appear as well three new event exclusive Eeveelutions (which can be found here).

Sawmite, Insecaw, and Stagalade

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.

In Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise, Stagalade has gained a Z-Form where is gains more blades over its body and every single leaf that grows on its body is sharp to the point where they can easily cut through metal. Z-Stagalade launches circular leaves that are akin to saws that can slice targets to shreds.

---

Bearang, Blasbear, and Dynaursa

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!

In Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise, Dynaursa has gained a Z-Form where its fur is so explosive, a single spark can set off a massive explosion. Z-Dynaursa can create an explosion like that of a nuclear bomb with a radius of at least a mile, with places that it has exploded in being scorched clean and landmasses reduced to nothing.

  • The whole line has Fire Pledge while Dynaursa has Blast Burn.
  • Dynaursa gets a signature Z-Move in Dynamic Detonation, where it detonates the fur on its body into an enormous explosion. It's as powerful as Selfdestruct, but negates type effectiveness, barriers such as Reflect, effects such as Protect, and the Damp ability. It even lacks the self-K.O. Selfdestruct has!
• Starter Mon: The Azuchaen Fire-type starter Pokémon line.
• Super Mode: Dynaursa has a Z-Form as of Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise.
• Turns Red: They get the Blaze ability.

Jewhelk, Whelgem, and Gemquoise

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.

In Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise, Gemquoise has gained a Z-Form where more jewels grow in its limbs and even its skin becomes as hard as crystal. If its jewels crack or break, they'll repair themselves almost instantly. As it moves, Z-Gemquoise leaves a trail of slime that has a feel like crystal.

• Gemstone Assault: The line learns Power Gem and Diamond Burst and can know Crystal Bomb, Crystal Crush, and Crystal Wave via TM while Gemquoise also gets Crystal Power.

Twift, Bambird, and Lumbird

A Normal/Flying bird Pokémon based on the swift, Twift always carries a bamboo straw in its mouth as it flies at high speeds. Upon becoming Bambird, it starts crafting armor for itself out of bamboo and wood and begins carrying three bamboo stalks, one in its mouth, two in its talons.

• Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: The stalks that are basically welded to Lumbird's talons are sharpened like bamboo swords, which it uses in such a fashion to cut its opponents. It can fell several bamboo trees in a single swipe using them.

Larvomb, Grenasp, and Gunnernet

A weak Bug-type larva, the most that Larvomb can do is blow itself up if it senses danger or be used as ammo by Grenasp and Gunnernet. It becomes Grenasp, a combination of a wasp and grenade launcher that launches insect-esque bombs. In due time, it becomes Gunnernet, a Bug/Fire cross between a hornet and an attack helicopter!

---

• Abnormal Ammo: Grenasp and Gunnernet tend to use Larvomb as bombs to launch at their enemies.
• Achilles' Heel: Gunnernet is doubly weak to Rock-type attacks.
• Action Bomb: Larvomb is pretty much a bomb in the form of a bug. Reflecting this, it learns Selfdestruct.
• Bee-Bee Gun: Grenasp and Gunnernet get Hornet Chaser via Level Up.

• Lethal Joke Character: Larvomb is a pathetic Bug-type that has terrible stats, gets only three attacks on its own, and can't know any TM or SM moves, not unlike ones such as Caterpie, Wurmple, and Scatterbug. However, at Level 9, it learns Selfdestruct, which is not only hugely damaging, but with its Attack stat of 80 and Blast Force, it makes Larvomb a little bit of a force to be reckoned with in the early game.
• Light 'em Up: Gunnernet gets Dazzle Burst upon Grenasp becoming it, the move being a Fire-type one that Light-types also get STAB for. In addition, it can also get Flashbang via TM.
• Magikarp Power: Larvomb is a weak Pokémon with all of its stats (except for Attack) at only 20 or 30 and has access to very few moves. At Level 12, however, it becomes Grenasp, where it starts getting decent stats and moves. It gets even better, as at Level 42, it becomes Gunnernet, a Bug/Fire-type hornet with incredible Attack and a BST in the realm of late game Pokémon like Flygon and Aegislash!

• Squishy Wizard: Spirnang is this crossed with a little bit of Fragile Speedster with good Special Attack and great Special Defense and speed, but below average HP and Defense.
• Soul Power: They're Ghost-types.
• Takes One to Kill One: Sprinang being a Ghost/Psychic-type means that it's four times weak to one of its own types.

• Asian Fox Spirit: Miasafume is partially based off of the huli jing of Chinese folklore.

• Squishy Wizard: Miasafume has above average HP, great Special Attack, and even greater Special Defense, but poor Attack and Defense.
• Status-Buff Dispel: Miasafume learns Haze, which resets all stat changes for Pokémon on the field.

Both are pseudo-Legendary Pokémon.

---

• Action Initiative: The line learns Quick Attack and are the only Pokémon that learn Draco Jet, a Dragon-type variant of Quick Attack, by levelling.
• Armored Dragons: Dinomor, Wyvermor, and Kniragon are all this, with Wyvermor being a downplayed example due to shedding its armor, and Kniragon taking it to the next level as its armor resembles that of a knight's.

*Spoiler*, Spiradies, *Spoiler*, Shadoctis, *Spoiler*, and Reflatera

The two main Legendary Pokémon of Azuchaen, Spiradies is a Light/Grass otherworldly flower that is the guardian of the Realm of Day, drawing spiritual energy from the Realm of Day, while Shadoctis is a Dark/Fire otherworldly bird that is the guardian of the Realm of Night, able to draw shadow energy from the Realm of Night. They are joined by a third Legendary, Reflatera, a Psychic/Water space whale that is said to be the balance between the two realms.

Unknown to most people, Spiradies, Shadoctis, have lower stages in the form of Mystiflos and Mystiavem. When Spiradies or Shadoctis dies, it produces a child in Mystiflos and Mystiavem, which will eventually become the next Spiradies or Shadoctis. Reflatera has a lower form in Mirrlaena, which it took after it used its power to produce supernatural crystals that became the first Mystiflos and Mystiavem.

In Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, there are two new forms of Reflaterra where it embodies the power of either the Realm of Day or the Realm of Night. When holding an item called the Mirror Cube, if it's in the Realm of Day, it becomes the Grass/Water DayRealm Reflatera, where it gains massive fins and flower petal-like protrusions, while if it's in the Realm of Night, then it becomes the Fire/Water NightRealm Reflatera, where it gains four long tentacle-like tendrils.

• Badass in Distress: Late into the game, Spiradies (Pokémon Spirit) or Shadoctis (Pokémon Shadow) gets captured by Team Helix, later taken by Team Starfire (and back to Team Helix in Pokémon 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).
  • In Pokémon 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.
• Barrier Warrior: Spiradies gets Electro Wall, Shadoctis gets Shadow Fence, and Mirrlaena gets Water Shield. All of them can know Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, and Magic Shield via TM.

• Counter-Attack: Reflatera learns Mirror Coat. Also, Reflatera's signature move of Mirror Pulse not only does damage to the opponent but until the turn ends if Reflatera gets hit by an attack it does 1.5 times the damage to the attacker.
• Dangerous Forbidden Technique: In ancient times, Reflatera used its power to produce two supernatural crystals which transformed into Mystiflos and Mystiavem, and eventually Spiradies and Shadoctis, the two of which went on to guard the Realm of Day and Realm of Night. However, this drained Reflatera of its energy, causing it to regress into Mirrlaena, which it what it's been ever since.
• Death or Glory Attack: Shadoctis learns Brave Bird and Flare Blitz. NightRealm Reflatera also gets Flare Blitz.
• Defend Command: Spiradies and Shadoctis get Protect by level.

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.
  • 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.

When DayRealm and NightRealm Reflatera use certain moves such as Mirror Pulse, they face downward with their backs at the front, making them look like giant mirrors.
• Mutually Exclusive Party Members: Due to how Reflatera's two extra forms work, with it in DayRealm Form in the Realm of Day and NightRealm Form in the Realm of Night, it's impossible to have one of each in your party. However, as long as you have enough Mirror Cubes for them to hold, you can have as many DayRealm Reflatera or NightRealm Reflatera in your party as you wish.
• Non-Elemental: Mirrlaena is Normal-type.
• Olympus Mons: They're another group of Legendary Pokémon.

  • Like Reshiram & Zekrom, Xerneas & Yveltal, Solgaleo & Lunala, and Infiran & Zerion, Spiradies & Shadoctis are another Light vs Darkness pair.
  • Reflatera is in line with previous Legendaries such as Rayquaza, Giratina, and Atlaunis, being the one who looks after the other two in its trio.
  • The trio happens to be like Solgaleo and Lunala in that they are not single stage Pokémon, but have lower stages in the form of Mystiflos, Mystiavem, and Mirrlaena.
  • Like Variruin, Reflatera gets two additional forms with each one embodying aspects of one of the other two Legendaries in its trio.
• Scissors Cuts Rock: Mystiflos and Spiradies start off with Miasma Dispel, a Grass-type attack that is super-effective against Poison-type Pokémon.
• Secret A.I. Moves: When used by Maiyuri and Mr. Atori, Spiradies and Shadoctis get abilities called Light Dispersal + and Dark Dispersal +, powered-up versions of their usual abilities, with the former nullifying Dark moves/Dark Moon and Psychic moves/Psychic Terrain, the latter nullifying Light moves/Bright Sky and Fairy moves/Misty Terrain.
• Secret Art:
  • Spiradies gets Spirit Burst, a powerful special-based Light-type attack that calculates damage based on the opponent's Defense stat, and Light Dispersal, an ability that nullifies Dark-type moves and Dark Moon.
  • Shadoctis gets Shadow Strike, a powerful physical-based Dark-type attack that calculates damage based on the opponent's Special Defense stat, and Dark Dispersal, an ability that nullifies Light-type moves and Bright Sky.
  • Reflatera gets Mirror Pulse, a powerful Psychic-type attack that also sends damage done to it until the end of the turn back to the attacker at 1.5x power, and Mirror Nullifier, an ability that makes it unaffected by Dark and Light moves.
• Shock and Awe: In the Spirit and Shadow saga of Pokémon: The Series (SFA-Verse), during the climax of Team Helix's plot, Shadoctis is turned into a part-Electric Delta Species, and is shown to use Thunder Smash and an Electric-type Shadow Strike.
• Single Specimen Species: Subverted in the case of Spiradies and Shadoctis, who produce a Mystiflos and Mystiavem upon death, which eventually become another Spiradies and Shadoctis, meaning there's just never more than one of each at a time. Presumably played straight with Mirrlaena and Reflatera.
• SNK Boss: When Spiradies or Shadoctis is fought towards the end of the game, due to being powered up by Infinity Energy, it has each of its stats upped by one stage and gets a more powerful version of its ability that nullifies an additional attack type.
  • 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.
• Soul Power: Towards the end of the Spirit and Shadow saga of Pokémon: The Series (SFA-Verse), Shadoctis is turned into a part Ghost-type Delta Species by Mr. Atori and Team Helix and is able to use Phantom Force.
• Space Whale: Reflatera happens to be one.
• Sphere of Destruction: Spiradies' signature move Spirit Burst has it create a large sphere of spiritual energy that it fires and detonates above the opponent, enveloping them in a dome of energy.
• Truly Single Parent: Spiradies and Shadoctis seem to produce Mystiflos or Mystiavem like this, without the need of another. However, they can only do so on the verge of death.
• Underground Monkey: In the Spirit and Shadow saga of Pokémon: The Series (SFA-Verse), during the climax of Team Helix's plans, Spiradies and Shadoctis are turned into Fairy/Ice-type (Spiradies) and Ghost/Electric-type (Shadoctis) Delta Species in order to be the heralds of a new world where only Delta Pokémon exist.
• Walking Spoiler: The fact that Mystiflos, Mystiavem, and Mirrlaena even exist is a major spoiler. As of Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, Reflatera's DayRealm and NightRealm forms are also spoilers.
• When Dimensions Collide: In Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, during the climax of Team Helix's plans, after Reflatera enters its DayRealm or NightRealm form, it causes the Realm of Day and Realm of Night to merge, which threatens the world as a whole.

Draguardia

A guardian dragon with a body glowing in the colors of the rainbow, Draguardia is a Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon considered to be a protector for Azuchaen. Said to have been visited by Ho-oh, it was granted by Ho-oh the power to infuse the legendary beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune with each other's power. Draguardia is said to reside in a place called Dragon Rock, where it oversees the various Dragon Pokémon that live there.

---

• Achilles' Heel: Due to Magical Force having both physical and special attacks using Draguardia's Special Attack stat, moves that lower its Special Attack, most notably Draco Meteor, reduce its prowess with both kinds of attacks instead of just special attacks.
• Always Accurate Attack: Draguardia learns the increasing power move Trump Card, which also never misses.
• Badass in Distress: During Team Starfire's post-game event, Togami captures Draguardia with the intention of using it to seek out a dimension-traveling mythical Pokémon so that he can find and reunite with Maiyuri, which you and Lycoris quickly put an end to.
• Barrier Change Boss: Inverted. Draguardia is the only Pokémon to get Dragonify, a move that changes the opponent's type to Dragon, by levelling.
• Barrier Warrior: It learns Barrier early on, which can help with its awful Defense stat, and also Draco Shield, which reduces damage done to the user's side for two turns. It can also know Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, and Magic Shield via TM.
• Confusion Fu: It can know damaging moves of every type other than Poison and Chemical.
• Dragons Up the Yin Yang: It's a Dragon-type Pokémon resembling an oriental Chinese dragon.
• Fire, Ice, Lightning: Draguardia learns the move Tri Attack, which can burn, freeze, or paralyze the opponent. In addition, it can know several Fire-, Ice-, and Electric-type TM, SM, and Move Tutor moves.
• Flight: Although Draguardia isn't a Flying-type nor does it have Levitate, it does possess majestic wings that enable it to fly and also has the ability to know various Flying-type moves such as Fly, Sky Drop, and Sky Attack.
• Fusion Dance: A variation in two different ways. Draguardia was given by Ho-oh after encountering it the ability to link the power of two out of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, causing one of them to gain traits pertaining to the other, although the other doesn't actually merge with it.
• Heal Thyself: Draguardia learns Roost, although it isn't a Flying-type.
• Magic Knight: One of the most direct examples, Draguardia's ability of Magical Force makes it so that both physical and special attacks operate off of its Special Attack stat of 150, meaning that both kinds of attacks are incredibly powerful on it.
• Mighty Glacier: Overlapping with Squishy Wizard, Draguardia has great HP, incredible Attack and Special Attack thanks to its ability, and an immense Special Defense stat of 200, but its Defense and Speed stats are poor.
• No-Sell: Since both physical and special attacks utilize its far superior Special Attack stat due to Magical Force, effects that lower its Attack stat such as Intimidate won't reduce the effectiveness of Draguardia's physical attacks.
• Olympus Mons: Draguardia is a Legendary Pokémon considered to be a guardian of Azuchaen.
• Rainbow Motif: Draguardia's body glows like a rainbow. It's speculated that its body didn't glow like that until Ho-oh bestowed power onto it.
• Recurring Element: In a sense. It gets what is normally Paradistan's signature move, Ultra Force, a Dragon-type attack with a base power of 200, which goes very well with its massive Special Attack stat.
• Secret Art: Draguardia's is the only Pokémon that gets Fractal Beam, a special-based Dragon-type attack that utilizes whatever is the lower stat out of the opponent's Defense and Special Defense. It's also the only Pokémon with the ability Magical Force, which makes it so that both physical and special attacks use its Special Attack stat.
• Status Buff: Draguardia learns three such moves that boost its stats; Barrier, Calm Mind, and Tail Glow. Given how its Magical Force ability works, is basically means that Calm Mind boosts its Attack, Special Attack, and Special Defense, while Tail Glow basically boosts both of its offensive stats by three stages.

Auricanduit

An unusual Pokémon with artificial-looking features, Auricanduit is an Ice/Electric-type Legendary Pokémon with aspects of a superconductor. Rumored to be a project created by Atori Inc., its function is to harness the energy of auroras and use it to generate unlimited amounts of electricity, likely to power all of Atori Inc.'s various facilities and subsidiaries. Auricanduit is locked away in a building called the Atori Storage Area.

---

• Always Accurate Attack: Auricanduit learns the Steel-type variant Magnet Bomb.
• An Ice Person: An Ice-type Pokémon.
• Barrier Warrior: It learns Electro Wall, can know Light Screen, Reflect, and Aurora Veil via TM, and can know Ice Wall via Move Tutor.
• Confusion Fu: Auricanduit can know damaging moves of every type but Fire, Dragon, and Ground.
• Counter-Attack: Auricanduit gets Mirror Coat.
• Death or Glory Attack: Auricanduit learns Ice Burst. It can also know Wild Charge by TM to a lesser extent.
• Deity of Human Origin: Auricanduit is most likely an artificial Legendary created by Atori Inc.
• Geo Effects: It starts off with Electric Terrain and its signature move of Aurora Bomb brings in Frost Field as well as damage.
• Lightning Bruiser: Auricanduit has incredible Special Attack, very good defensive bulk, and awesome Speed in addition to below-average Attack.
• Living Battery: It's a superconductor in Pokémon form, with its purpose to generate electricity via auroras.
• Magnetism Manipulation: Given its role as a living superconducting magnet, it's shown to have cube-shaped magnets floating in the air around it, much like shown with the Meissner Effect.
• Olympus Mons: Yet another Legendary Pokémon.
• One-Hit Kill: Auricanduit learns the move Sheer Cold.
• Power Floats: It's shown levitating through superconductive electromagnetism. One of its moves, Magnet Rise, makes it immune to Ground-type moves for five turns.
• Power Glows: When Auricanduit is in battle, its body glows like an aurora.
• Powerful, but Inaccurate: Auricanduit learns Zap Cannon, which while strong and always causes paralysis, only has an accuracy of 50%.
• Secret Art:
  • Auricanduit has a signature move in Aurora Bomb, an Ice-type attack where it compresses an aurora into a glowing gem that it throws at the opponent. The move then creates the effect of Frost Field. Due to its ability of Superconductor (see below), the move actually becomes Electric-type.
  • Its signature ability of Superconductor swaps the types of its Electric and Ice moves and boosts their power by 20%, meaning moves such as Thunderbolt, Freezing Bolt and Laser Blast become Ice-type and moves such as Ice Beam, Ice Burst, and Sheer Cold become Electric-type. This also affects non-damaging moves, meaning Thunder Wave for example becomes Ice-type and can affect Ground-types.
• Shock and Awe: Electric-type.
• Single Specimen Species: Given Auricanduit's nature as an artificial Pokémon, it doesn't look like Atori Inc. will be making any more of it.

Xanatwili

A strange bird figure that is one-half black, one-half white, Xanatwili is a Dark- and Light-type Mythical Pokémon that is said to possess two souls, one in the Realm of Day, the other in the Realm of Night. Rumored to reside in a fantastical chamber under Libra Lapis Lazuli Private Academy, it's said to be the one responsible for bringing forth the Realm of Night and vice-versa when the time changes between day and night.

---

• Always Accurate Attack: It learns Faint Attack.
• Attack Reflector: Xanatwili learns Magic Coat, which sends non-damaging moves that inflict effects such as poison, burn, paralysis, sleep, Leech Seed, Taunt, and moves that lower stats back to the attacker.
• Casting a Shadow: Part Dark-type Pokémon.
• Confusion Fu: It can know damaging moves of every type other than Fighting, Dragon, and Chemical.
• Expy: From a storyline perspective, Xanatwili can be considered one of Kasumi Murakamo from A Clockwork Ley Line: Borderline of Dusk.
• Gemstone Assault: Xanatwili learns Crystal Shard, a multi-hit Light-type attack.
• Light 'em Up: Part Light-type Pokémon.
• Lightning Bruiser: Xanatwili has awesome Special Attack alongside great Special Defense and Speed while having good HP, Attack, and Defense.
• Lunacy: Xanatwili gets Lunar Cannon, a two-turn Dark-type attack that doesn't need charging at night, by levelling.
• Olympus Mons: It happens to be a Mythical Pokémon.
• Power of the Sun: It learns both Solar Bomb and Bright Blast, the latter of which can be used instantly during strong sunlight or Bright Sky.
• Recurring Element: Xanatwili is another Mythical Pokémon.
• Scissors Cuts Rock: It gets Mirror Aura as its ability, which makes its Light-type attacks super-effective against Psychic-types instead of not-very effective. The ability would also make it resistant to Psychic-type moves instead of weak to them if it weren't for the fact that it's Dark-typing already makes it immune to Psychic moves (although this aspect can still be useful if the opponent uses Miracle Eye on it).
• Secret Art: Xanatwili is the only Pokémon that gets the move Twilight Wave, an attack that changes types between Dark and Light each time it's used. What makes it more unique is that the move is permeant on it, being in its moveset from the start and unable to be deleted or overwritten by another move.
• Secret Character: It happens to be a Pokémon that can only be obtained through an event.
• Taking You with Me: Xanatwili gets Destiny Bond as its final learned move.
• Thin Dimensional Barrier: Xanatwili is basically this in Pokémon form, where every dusk and dawn, it uses its power to summon the Realm of Night and Realm of Day, which allows people to access the opposite realm when this happens.
• Two Beings, One Body: Xanatwili consists of two souls, one in the Realm of Day, and one in the Realm of Night.
• Yin-Yang Bomb: Xanatwili's types consist of the polar opposites of Dark and Light. Adding to this is that its two souls are separate with one in the Realm of Day and the other in the Realm of Night.
• Weather Manipulation: Of sorts. It starts off with both Bright Sky and Dark Moon.

∆ Bellsprout, ∆ Weepinbell, and ∆ Victreebel

A Delta Species discovered in Azuchaen, Delta Bellsprout is a Light/Poison-type Pokémon resembling a gaslight lamp. It has the ability to spit out flammable gas to confuse its foes as well as light the inside of its body. It eventually becomes Delta Weepinbell, who is able to ignite the gas inside its body, and by using a Shiny Stone, can then become Delta Victreebel, who is known to envelop its foes in a flood of ignited gas.

∆ Magikarp and ∆ Gyarados

A Delta Species discovered in Azuchaen, Delta Magikarp is a Dragon-type Pokémon that turns out to be even weaker than its normal counterpart, known to be apathetic and lazy. It eventually becomes Delta Gyarados, where it gains the Flying type and unlike its normal counterpart, is able to fly, causing havoc and destruction when it goes out of control. Delta Gyarados can then go on to become Mega Delta Gyarados.

---

• Achilles' Heel: Delta Gyarados has a double weakness to Ice.
• Blessed with Suck: As if having the same pathetic stats and movepool as its regular form wasn't bad enough, Delta Magikarp's only ability is Truant, which makes it only able to attack every other turn.
• Blow You Away: Delta Gyarados is Flying-type, and unlike its normal form, can actually know several Flying-type attacks.
• Confusion Fu: Delta Gyarados can know damaging moves of every type but Grass-, Bug-, Chemical-, or Fairy-type ones.
• Death or Glory Attack: Delta Gyarados learns Brave Bird.
• The Dreaded: Mega Delta Gyarados is said to be a harbinger of destruction and if it's seen in the sky, it means disaster will soon rain down upon the land.
• Fixed Damage Attack: Like its normal variant, Delta Gyarados learns Dragon Rage.
• Gameplay and Story Segregation: 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.
• Magikarp Power: Especially noticeable since it’s a variant of the Trope Namer, Delta Magikarp is very weak and even has an ability that hinders it, but once it reaches Level 20, it goes on to become a powerful Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon.
• Man Bites Man: Delta Gyarados learns Bite, Crunch, Fire Fang, and starts off with Poison Fang and Psychic Fangs. Adding to this, its ability is Strong Jaw, powering up such moves.
• Mighty Glacier: Delta Gyarados is somewhere between this and Lightning Bruiser, having awesome Attack, average or above average HP and defenses, and average Speed.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Like its normal form, Delta Gyarados is known to spread destruction wherever it goes. It can actually be considered even more dangerous since it has the ability to fly and thus isn't limited to the water.
• Our Dragons Are Different: Delta Magikarp is more of a dragonfish than a dragon.
• Power Nullifier: Inverted with Mega Delta Gyarados' ability of Dragon Edge, which allows its Dragon-type attacks to hit Fairy-type Pokémon.
• Razor Wind: Delta Gyarados learns Air Slash and can know Air Cutter by Move Tutor.

• Useless Useful Spell: Delta Magikarp can know Draco Meteor, which while powerful, won't do much given its already horrible Special Attack stat.

∆ Deino, ∆ Zweilous, and ∆ Hydreigon

A Delta Species that emerged in Azuchaen, Delta Deino is a Poison/Chemical-type Pokémon that is blind, but uses its tongue to sense objects around it and bite anything that moves. It eventually becomes Delta Zweilous, whose heads can get competitive if they both try to swallow prey whole and can spit venom over the length of an Olympic swimming pool. It ultimately becomes Delta Hydreigon, whose body produces a powerful super-acid that nothing currently can protect against.

In Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise, Delta Hydreigon has gained a Z-Form where it gains two more heads, bringing the number to five, and its heads can act either as one or independently. Its heads spit out not only large streams of extremely corrosive liquids, but also mist that instantly forms acid rain clouds, which rain down and melt everything as far as the eye can see.

• Multiple Head Case: Like their regular forms, Delta Zweilous and Hydreigon have two and three heads respectively. The latter's smaller heads are used to scout out areas before dominating all prey there. Delta Z-Hydreigon has five heads that are roughly the same size as one another.
• Mythology Gag: In Pokémon Insurgence, 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.
• Poisonous Person: Poison-type Pokémon.
• Secret Art:
  • Delta Hydreigon is the only Pokémon to get the ability Intoxicate, which increases the power of its Normal-type moves by 20%, then changes their type to Poison.
  • Starting in Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise, Delta Hydreigon has a signature Z-Move called Super Acid Storm, a powerful Chemical-type move that hits all adjacent Pokémon and creates the effects of Chemical Flush for five turns.
  • Delta Z-Hydreigon is the only Pokémon to get the Acidic Cloud ability, which activates Acid Rain when the Pokémon enters battle.
• Snakes Are Sinister: Delta Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon are based off of cobras and happen to be quite vicious, especially with Delta Hydreigon being called the Tyrant Cobra Pokémon. Although female Delta Hydreigon are shy, males need to be avoided at all costs.
• Status Buff: They learn Coil, which increases their Attack, Defense, and accuracy by one stage each.
• Super Mode: Delta Hydreigon has a Z-Form as of Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise.
• Three Plus Two: When Delta Hydreigon undergoes Z-Morph, it goes from having three heads to five.
• Trap Master: The line happens to learn the move Wrap.
• Underground Monkey: Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon have Delta variants that have appeared in Azuchaen, albeit different from those found in Holon.
• Weird Weather: Delta Z-Hydreigon spits out mist that forms into clouds that raid acid down on its surroundings. This is reflected in the effects of both its signature move and ability.

∆ Dewpider and ∆ Araquanid

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

A Delta Species of Dewpider found in Azuchaen, Delta Dewpider is a Chemical-type Pokémon that is known for having an acid bubble around its head and is capable of moving through acidic liquids.

• Status Buff: Delta Dewpider starts off with Base Slick, which sharply raises its Speed, and they both learn Liquid Coat, which sharply increases whatever defensive stat is lower. Also, their Chemical Reactor ability increases their Special Attack every time they use a Chemical-type move (including Base Slick and Liquid Coat).
• Stone Wall: Delta Araquanid has good Defense and awesome Special Defense, but both of its offensive stats are low or below average, although a couple uses of Chemical-type moves through Chemical Reactor can make its Special Attack less of a problem.
• Underground Monkey: Delta Dewpider and Delta Araquanid are Delta variants of Dewpider and Araquanid that are found in Azuchaen.

∆ Morelull, ∆ Shiinotic, and Satelloom

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

A Delta Species of Morelull that has appeared in Azuchaen, Delta Morelull is a Normal/Cosmic-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/Cosmic-type satellite that hovers in the air and discharges various kinds of waves.

• Discard and Draw: In Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise, they lose the Psychic-type, but gain the Cosmic-type.
• Expy: In terms of look, Satelloom is based off of the Burst Krijyl from Copy Kitty.
• Extra-ore-dinary: Satelloom is part Steel-type.
• Flight: Being a space satellite, Satelloom is capable of moving through the air and space. Befitting this, its ability is Levitate.
• Geo Effects: Delta Morelull, Shiinotic, and Satelloom all learn Psychic Terrain (prior to Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise) and Cosmic Field (as of Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise).
• Gravity Master: Delta Morelull, Shiinotic, and Satelloom learn both Gravity and Gravity Hold, with Gigantamax Satelloom also having the ability of Gravity Field.

• Lunacy: They get Moonlight by levelling and can know Lunar Cannon by TM and Moonblast by Move Tutor.
• Make Me Wanna Shout: Delta Morelull and Shiinotic start off with Supersonic and learn Hyper Voice, with Satelloom starting off with Metal Sound.
• Mighty Glacier: Satelloom is this on the special side with average HP, great Defense, and awesome Special Attack and Special Defense, but happens to be a bit slow.
• Non-Elemental: Delta Morelull and Shiinotic are part Normal-type.
• Oxymoronic Being: In a way. What are bioluminescent mushrooms, something organic, in their normal form, are tracking dishes, a satellite dish, and satellite/space station, obviously of inorganic and artificial nature, as Delta Species.
• Power Nullifier: Satelloom's Levitate ability makes it immune to Ground-type moves, with its Steel typing making it immune to Poison-type moves and being poisoned. Delta Morelull and Shiinotic are immune to Ghost-type moves. All three of them are immune to being confused prior to Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise.
• Psychic Powers: Psychic-type Pokémon prior to Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise.
• Retcon: With the introduction of the Cosmic-type in Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise, they have lost their Cosmic-type in favor of it.
• Secret Art:
  • Delta Morelull and Shiinotic are the only Pokémon with the Tracking Point ability, which ups their accuracy every time the opponent's evasion increases.
  • Satelloom is the only Pokémon to get Satellite Beam, a strong Cosmic-type (formerly Psychic-type) move that does double damage if Gravity is in effect.
  • Its Gigantamax form is the only Pokémon to have the Gravity Field ability, which activates Gravity for five turns when it Dynamaxes, and the G-Max move G-Max Satellawave, which in addition to damage creates the effects of Trick Room for five turns.
• Space Is Magic: Cosmic-type Pokémon starting in Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise.
• Space Station: Gigantamax Satelloom happens to be one. Scientists are actually trying to find ways to permanently Gigantamax it as to have it serve as an array of unmanned research stations in space.

POKéMON SPIRIT AND SHADOW CHARACTERS

Supporting Characters

Kousaki Fiona Annabel

Team Starfire

As a Whole

A villainous team found in Azuchaen, Team Starfire is a group with an 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. 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.

---

Tropes that apply to Team Starfire as a whole:

• Assimilation Plot: It turns out that Team Starfire's main goal is to overwrite the minds of every living thing there is with Maiyuri's! Unfortunately, this also turns out to include the rest of Team Starfire itself.
• Bat Out of Hell: They keep up the trend of villainous teams using Zubat and Golbat.
• Brainwashing for the Greater Good: Team Starfire's goal is to end all corruption in the world by assimilating the minds of everyone in existence with Maiyuri's.
• Equal-Opportunity Evil: Team Starfire happens to have this, seeing as there is a Faunus that is one of their higher-ups in the form of Ayane.
• Expy: Nebula, who makes up Team Starfire's Admins, can been as one to the idol group Quasar from Shining Song Starnova.
• Idol Singer: Team Starfire's appearance is meant to be this, especially with the admins being the idol group Nebula.
• Light 'em Up: Team Starfire uses Light-type Pokémon.
• Light Is Not Good: Although they happen to be bright-looking idols and use Pokémon types associated with good such as Light and Fairy, Team Starfire is pretty much not good, especially given their actions and goals.
• Mythology Gag: As Team Starfire's origins were for a villainous team in a story unconnected to Pokémon Spirit and Shadow, where they sought Solgaleo and Lunala and also captured Necrozma, references to this exist in the form of the N-Solarizer and N-Lunarizer being found in Nebula's studio (given to you by Looker in Spirit) and the Solgalium Z, Lunalium Z, and U-Necrozium Z are given to you by Hiyoko, Ayane, and Sayaka. There's also a nod to Togami originally going after Revasilel in the post-game by saying that he's going after a dimension crossing Pokémon.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: An evil team based on idols isn't something that you would consider threatening, then you learn about their plan to create a hive mind of every living thing in existence with their leader's mind at the core!
• Obfuscating Stupidity: It's revealed late in the game that Team Starfire purposely acted incompetent in order to make everyone believe that they were harmless so they could carry out their plan without drawing attention.
• Psychic Powers: They use mainly Psychic-type Pokémon.
• Shout-Out:
  • A Team Starfire Grunt fought at Haven Academy talks about the idea of zombie idols. Bonus points as said Grunt has a Sprinang, which is based off of a Chinese Zombie.
  • Inside the Starfire Base, you have to battle 48 Team Starfire Grunts, which is meant to be a nod to the famous idol group AKB48.
• Star Scraper: Team Starfire's base happens to be at the top of a tower going several kilometers into the sky. Their second base also happens to be this.
• The Fair Folk: Team Starfire also uses Fairy-type Pokémon.
• The Smurfette Principle: Togami, Nebula's producer and Team Starfire's supposed leader, is the only male in Team Starfire's higher-ups. Justified as the others are a female idol group.
• Villain Team-Up: During the attack on Haven Academy, Team Starfire decides to form a temporary alliance with Team Helix in order to acquire Noah and awaken Spiradies or Shadoctis. In Pokémon Shadow, they end up doing this after in order to benefit both their plans, at least until Maiyuri's defeat by the player. This also happens in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, although both groups are only using the other for their own ends.
• Villain with Good Publicity: Team Starfire's admins happen to be idols that are popular in the region.

Maiyuri *Spoilers*

A renowned idol in Azuchaen and the center idol of the group Nebula, Maiyuri is a woman that has uses her fame and prowess as an idol in the hopes of changing the minds of people and making the world a better place. As she's been getting older and her time as an idol has been nearing its end, she's reached out and sponsored a number of groups and businesses with her message, but the greed and exploitation of those in charge rendered anything she did moot and as time went on, this caused her ideals to start become distorted and extreme. Eventually, Maiyuri started believing that the problem with changing the world has a root cause; individuality, and has decided the only way to make things the way she thinks they should be is to bring an end to that, and that's by uploading her mind to that of every living thing there is!

---

Tropes that apply to Maiyuri:

• Assimilation Plot: Her ultimate goal is to not just overwrite the minds of everyone in this world, but those in all worlds.
• Big Bad: Is one of the two in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow, the main one in the former.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: Temporarily forms this with Mr. Atori, Team Helix's leader, in Pokémon Shadow.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Forms this with Mr. Atori in Pokémon Spirit and the PLUS Expansions.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She's comes off as a nice, beloved, and popular idol, only to be revealed to be anything but.
• Brainwashing for the Greater Good: Or in this case, Overwriting Minds for the Greater Good, as Maiyuri feels the only way to change the world is if everyone literally has her mind, and plans of doing just that.
• Broken Pedestal: Sayaka, who looked up to Maiyuri for inspiration to becoming an idol, is not happy with what her idol has become.
• Climax Boss: She's fought at the end of Team Starfire's plot. This is more defined in Pokémon Spirit. In Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, Maiyuri ends up being upstaged by Mr. Atori due to the fact that Team Starfire's plans lead directly into and influenced Team Helix's plans.
• Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Maiyuri's Delta Volcarona is at Level 55, four levels below when Delta Larvesta becomes it.
• Control Freak: Maiyuri is stated in her later years to have become controlling when it comes to Nebula, hating when things aren't done her way. Taken to the extreme with her plans to replace the minds of all those in the multiverse with her own mind.
• Diabolical Mastermind: She's the leader of Team Starfire.
• Evil All Along: Unlike the other idols of Nebula, who quickly turn out to be Team Starfire's admins, Maiyuri comes off as the one not associated with the organization and in fact seems like an understanding woman. Then you discover that she's worse than the rest of them.
• Expy: Appearance and personality wise, Maiyuri is supposed to come off as one of Mariya from Shining Song Starnova.
• Freudian Excuse: Being taken advantage of and having any attempts to change the world she did exploited and undermined by greedy uncaring people and corrupt businesspeople pretty much broke Maiyuri as time went on, turning her to villainy.
• High-Altitude Battle: Both battles with her occur within Team Starfire's bases, which are located several kilometers in the sky.
• Hypocrite: During her Motive Rant, Maiyuri explains that she sponsored Hugh & Dolittle and the Schnee Dust Company, only for both of them to be run by Corrupt Corporate Executives who were associated with or part of villain groups, ignoring the fact that she herself is leading a villain group.
  • In Pokémon Shadow, another layer of hypocrisy is added when Maiyuri decides to form an alliance with Mr. Atori, who himself is a Corrupt Corporate Executive and the leader of a villain group.
  • The latter is downplayed in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS with it being revealed that Maiyuri considers Team Helix to be the same kind of people she despises and is planning on assimilating their minds as well.
• I Am Legion: During the climax of Team Starfire's plot, Maiyuri replaces the minds of all living things, people and Pokémon alike, other than you and Sayaka, with hers. During this event, she speaks through everyone you come in contact with, boasting that she's now everywhere and everyone.
• Idol Singer: Maiyuri is an idol that's getting on with age and the one who leads the idol group Nebula.
• Individuality Is Illegal: Her plan is basically this, as it involves replacing the minds of every living thing with her mind, which is the most extreme case of this.
• Knight of Cerebus: After being revealed as Team Starfire's leader and the nature of her plan, Maiyuri quickly enters this territory, especially when all the minds of everyone in the world are replaced with hers.
• Light Is Not Good: The fact that Maiyuri is an idol and her choice of outfit hides the fact that she has a very sinister plot in mind.
• Madden Into Misanthropy: The greed, exploitation, and corrupt nature of various people that Maiyuri had come in contact with during her idol career caused Maiyuri to eventually declare that all of humanity, if not all life as a whole, has been tainted and thus the only way to put an end to it all is for her mind to be the only one there is.
• Olympus Mons: When battled for the final time, she uses Spiradies against you. In this battle, all of Spiradies' stats increase by one stage and its ability is Light Dispersal +, which shuts down both Dark and Psychic moves. In Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, she uses either Spiradies or Shadoctis against you depending on the game, with the same stipulations as in the base game.
• Pokémon Types:
  • An Ice Person/Our Fairies Are Different: Alolan Ninetales
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies/Playing with Fire: Gunnernet
  • Blow You Away: Flamistellar
  • Casting a Shadow: Quasick, Delta Larvesta, and Delta Volcarona
  • Extra-ore-dinary: Satelloom
  • Light 'em Up/Making a Splash: Milotic
  • Poisonous Person: Delta Larvesta and Delta Volcarona
  • Psychic Powers: Flamistellar and Satelloom
  • Shock and Awe: Quasick
• Recurring Element: In the same vein as Lusamine and Prof. Evergreen, Maiyuri comes off as a good-natured and understanding woman, then you discover this can't be any farther from the truth.
• The Evils of Free Will: This is what she feels is wrong with the world, as free will basically prevents people from thinking the same way as her. Her main goal to overwrite all minds with hers she feels will put an end to this.
• Token Good Teammate: Seems to be this when it comes to Nebula's idols. Averted when it turns out she's actually Team Starfire's leader.
• Ungrateful Bitch: For helping her achieve her goals, how does Maiyuri repay her villainous team? By assimilating their minds as well!
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: When she first began her idol career, Maiyuri was a sweet, innocent girl with dreams of changing the world. Unfortunately, reality was not nice to her as time went on, leading to what she is now.
• Utopia Justifies the Means: Her plan is to put an end to all bad and corruption in every world by replacing all minds with her own.
• Villain: Exit, Stage Left: After being defeated at the Starfire Base, she escapes the place using either Spiradies (Pokémon Spirit and Spirit PLUS), Flamistellar (Pokémon Shadow), or Shadoctis (Pokémon Shadow PLUS). After her plans are thwarted, she makes an escape into another world.
• Villain with Good Publicity: To the public, Maiyuri is a famous idol loved by many.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: She considers her actions to be the ultimate way of ensuring that corruption will become non-existent.

Team Helix

As a Whole

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., and even Haven Academy. 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.

---

Tropes that apply to Team Helix as a whole:

• Animalistic Abomination: A number of the Pokémon used by Team Helix happen to be Delta Species.
• Bat Out of Hell: In a variation, instead of the typical Zubat and Golbat used by other villainous teams, Team Helix uses the newcomers Sunwing and Solawing.
• Elaborate Underground Base: They have one in the form of the Hidden Base going under the Seaside Mansion and Pineapta City. Ironically, you actually encounter Team Starfire here as they're after objects necessary for their own plans.
• Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Team Helix uses Pokémon pertaining to the three types that starter Pokémon usually are; Grass, Fire, and Water.
• Equal-Opportunity Evil: Seeing as one of their Admins, Ruu, is one, Team Helix is okay with having Faunus in their organization.
• Evil, Inc.: Atori Inc. forms part of Team Helix given that one of their execs, Akeno, is a Team Helix Admin, the company's president, Mr. Atori, is Team Helix's leader, and the Atori Building serves as Team Helix's base.
• Final Solution: Team Helix's grand plan is to wipe out all non-Delta Pokémon that exist in order for Delta Species to take their place.
• Green Thumb: One of the three Pokémon types Team Helix uses is Grass.
• Kill Sat: Under Atori Inc., Team Helix has developed several satellites called Delta Satellites. Using Spiradies and Shadoctis' power along with the Infinity Energy, the satellites discharge energy waves that will destroy all non-Delta Pokémon in existence as a means to allow Delta Pokémon to replace them.
• Late-Arrival Spoiler: The reveal of Team Helix's presence in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS and thus there being a second villain team would be a spoiler if it weren't for the fact that this wasn't the case in the base game, where their presence wasn't treated as sensitive information.
• Late to the Party: As the story is changed in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, Team Helix doesn't appear until late into the game. As a result, they don't appear as much, making Team Starfire more of the main villain team in those games.
• Making a Splash: Team Helix is also shown to use Water-type Pokémon.
• Playing with Fire: Fire-type Pokémon tend to be used by Team Helix.
• Superior Species: They consider Delta Species to be this, to the point that they seek to destroy anything that isn't a Delta Species.
• Train Job: At one point in the game, Team Helix attacks the Azuchaen Express headed from East Azuchaen to North Azuchaen in order to acquire something called the Data Block, which is important to their plans.
• Villain Team-Up: During the attack on Haven Academy, Team Helix decides to form a temporary alliance with Team Starfire in order to acquire Noah and awaken Spiradies or Shadoctis. In Pokémon Shadow, they end up doing this after in order to benefit both their plans, at least until Maiyuri's defeat by the player. This also happens in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, although both groups are only using the other for their own ends.

Ruu

Akeno Mikuriya

Naochika Inui

Mr. Atori

The president of Atori Inc., a huge company found in Azuchaen, Mr. Atori is a man who has contributed a lot to the region, more specifically, Hari Kang. 10 years prior, he basically had nothing, then the Delta Catalyst happened, which is what his company decided to base itself off of. As time went on, Atori Inc. became the leading industry in Delta Pokémon, developing products pertaining to them, and there are even rumors of new Delta Pokémon having developed by them. Through all this, Mr. Atori became a huge success, although this caused him to become distant to his daughter, Riku. As it turns out, Mr. Atori doesn't favor Delta Pokémon just because they made him into the man he is today, but because to him, they're more powerful than normal Pokémon and in fact believes they are meant to be the next stage in Pokémon-kind. Because of this, he came up with a plan to bring forth this new age by having all non-Delta Pokémon wiped from existence to make room for a world of only Delta Pokémon!

---

Tropes that apply to Mr. Atori:

• Archnemesis Dad: He becomes this to daughter Riku after being revealed as Team Helix's leader.
• Big Bad: Is one of the two in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow, the main one in the latter.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: Temporarily forms this with Maiyuri, Team Starfire's leader, in Pokémon Shadow.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Forms this with Maiyuri in Pokémon Spirit and the PLUS Expansions.
• The Chessmaster: Mr. Atori turns out to be this in Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS given that he has Spiradies or Shadoctis captured to be given to Team Starfire, then expecting you to go and stop Team Starfire's plans, since the awakening of Spiradies or Shadoctis is what allows Reflatera to awaken for Team Helix to capture, thus allowing them to go forward with their own plans unhindered.
• Climax Boss: He's fought at the end of Team Helix's plot. This is more defined in Pokémon Shadow. In Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, Mr. Atori ends up being the main one due to the fact that Team Starfire's plans lead directly into and influenced Team Helix's plans.
• Colony Drop: After being defeated the second time, Mr. Atori decides to send the main satellite containing Shadoctis on a collision course with Earth, with the impending collision meaning the end of the world if it succeeds. In Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, he does this after you defeat Reflatera, with no Pokémon present in the satellite.
• Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Mr. Atori's Delta Volcarona is at Level 55, four levels below when Delta Larvesta becomes it.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: Given he's the CEO of Atori Inc. and his role as Team Helix's Leader, he's another one of these.
• Diabolical Mastermind: Mr. Atori is the leader of Team Helix.
• Expy: In terms of appearance, he's meant to be one of Keiko's father from the visual novel Hapymaher.
• Final Solution: He plans on using Spiradies and Shadoctis to power a satellite network that will destroy everything that isn't a Delta Species in favor of them.
• Knight of Cerebus: Things in the story end up pretty dark once Mr. Atori's plan involving the genocide of all non-Delta Pokémon has become apparent.
• Olympus Mons: When battled for the final time, he uses Shadoctis against you. In this battle, all of Shadoctis' stats increase by one stage and its ability is Dark Dispersal +, which shuts down both Light and Fairy moves.
  • 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.
• Parental Neglect: Due to being focused on his business, Mr. Atori was absent for much of Riku's childhood, causing her to rely on other adults.
• Pokémon Types:
  • An Ice Person/Green Thumb: Planacial
  • Casting a Shadow/Poisonous Person: Delta Larvesta and Delta Volcarona
  • Charles Atlas Superpower/Shock and Awe: Onioctag
  • Dishing Out Dirt/Psychic Powers: Astrotar
  • Extra-ore-dinary/Making a Splash: Delta Haxorus
  • Our Dragons Are Different/Playing with Fire: Wyvermor
• Put on a Bus to Hell: After being defeated at the Atori Building (Pokémon Spirit and PLUS Expansions) or Shiléng Center (Pokémon Shadow), Mr. Atori is arrested by Looker and the International Police, effectively removing him from the story.
• Recurring Element: Like Robert Dolittle, Takao Kuroi, and Jacques Schnee, Mr. Atori is another Corrupt Corporate Executive that's associated with or part of a villain team.
• Rage Quit: After being defeated and his plans thwarted in Pokémon Shadow, he decides to drop the satellite that contained Shadoctis on the earth. In Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, he first unleashes Reflatera and has it merge the Realm of Day and Realm of Night, threatening both realms, before dropping the satellite.
• Rooftop Confrontation: Both of your confrontations and battles with Mr. Atori occur on the roofs of tall buildings; the first one on the roof of the Atori Building, the second one on the roof of the Shiléng Center. In Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS, this is reduced to just one battle on the roof of the Atori Building.
• Self-Made Man: It's implied that Mr. Atori didn't have anything prior to the Delta Catalyst, which allowed him to build Atori Inc. from the ground up.
• Sharp-Dressed Man: Given his role as a CEO, Mr. Atori is always shown wearing a business suit.
• Superior Species: Mr. Atori considers Delta Species to be this to normal Pokémon. His goal is to destroy all non-Delta Pokémon in favor of Delta Species.
• The Stoic: After his plans are stopped and activating the Delta Satellite to plummet towards the earth, Mr. Atori just stands there doing nothing except battle you one last time, indicating he now has nothing to lose.
• Utopia Justifies the Means: Mr. Atori wants to create a world of only Delta Species.
• Villain with Good Publicity: Given he runs the company that heads the market on Delta Species, Mr. Atori is this.
• You Have Failed Me: In Pokémon Shadow, after you've defeated Maiyuri, Mr. Atori decides to abandon her, cut her and Team Starfire out of his plans, and take Shadoctis from her for his own use.

Fusion Teams

As a Whole *Spoilers*

WARNING: UNMARKED 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:

Pokémon Spirit PLUS
Team Solar (Team Magma and Team Flora)
Team Storm (Team Aqua and Team Plasma SA)
Team Cosmic (Team Draco and Team Galactic)
Team Strike (Team Plasma (BW) and Team Flare)
Team Genesis (Turiavita and Aether Foundation)
Team Death (Team Zodiac and Team Crystal)
Team Burst (Team Rocket and Team Skull)
Team Infinite (Team Yell and Macro Cosmos)

Pokémon Shadow PLUS
Team Scorch (Team Magma and Team Flare)
Team Aurora (Team Aqua and Team Crystal)

Team Quasar (Team Plasma SA and Team Draco)
Team Portal (Team Galactic and Aether Foundation)
Team Void (Turiavita and Team Zodiac)
Team Havoc (Team Skull and Team Yell)
Team Eternal (Team Rocket and Macro Cosmos)

---

Tropes that apply to the Fusion Teams as a whole:

• Airborne Aircraft Carrier: Team Strike's Carrier is a large airship that takes to the skies upon entering it.
• Badass Biker: Team Havoc's motif happens to be that of leather-clad bikers, although they're not actually shown riding bikes.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: Each fusion villain team is headed by two leaders working together.
• Big Bad Ensemble: There are eight different fusion teams, each one being led by two leaders, encountered in each of the two games.
• Big Brother Is Watching You: Team Eternal's motif is meant to be an Orwellian nightmare straight out of Nineteen Eighty-Four, with Grunts dressed in dull jumpsuits, security cameras all over, TV's depicting Giovanni, and an all-around oppressive atmosphere.
• Creating Life Is Bad: Team Void plans on destroying all life in existence in order to create new life that embodies darkness, torment, and despair.
• Dark Is Evil: Both Team Death and Team Void are very sinister looking and use Dark-type and Ghost-type Pokémon.
• Despotism Justifies the Means:
  • Team Burst's goals being spearheaded by Giovanni are of this purpose. This is also his actual intent when it comes to Team Eternal's goals.
  • This happens to be Ghetsis' true motives when it comes to Team Strike and Team Photon's goals.
• Dual Boss: Half the admin battles and all the leader battles involve battling two at once, although the latter has someone battle alongside you.
• Dystopia Justifies the Means: Both Team Death and Team Void, through Kuroi's machinations, seek to create a world of chaos and despair, either by erasing every other world or by creating new life embodying such aspects.
• Evil Is Burning Hot: Both Team Solar and Team Scorch are this with their use of Fire-type Pokémon. Team Death is also this as they seek Anchetis.
• Evil Is Deathly Cold: Both Team Death and Team Aurora are this with their use of Ice-type Pokémon, as well as Team Aurora seeking out Borealis.
• Final Solution: Several examples amongst the fusion teams:
  • Team Solar and Team Photon are out to wipe out human-kind to return the world to nature and Pokémon.
  • Team Storm and Team Quasar are out to wipe out Pokémon-kind in favor of a world of humanity and technology.
  • Team Strike and Team Scorch seek to wipe out all life beside themselves in order to Restart the World.
  • Team Genesis are out to wipe out all life in existence in order to replace it with Ultra Beasts.
  • Team Void are out to wipe out all life in existence so that they can replace it with a new race embodying chaos and despair.

• The Great Flood: Both Team Storm and Team Aurora plan on flooding the world and eliminating all land.
• Haunted Castle: Team Death's Castle happens to be this with its darkened rooms and Grunts that use Ghost-type Pokémon.
• In Their Own Image:
  • For Team Cosmic, Dralene and Cyrus seek to remake the universe as one without weather or emotion.
  • For Team Portal, Cyrus and Lusamine seek to remake the universe as one of Ultra Beasts.
• It's All Upstairs From Here: Team Aurora's Tower is a tall tower shooting up into the sky.
• Left Hanging: Since you don't get to see much of each fusion villain team individually and none of their plans are thwarted by the time you defeat them, what becomes of each fusion team is unknown, although it's possible they could be revisited in a later story.
• Light Is Not Good: Despite the light motif of both Team Solar and Team Photon and use of Light-type Pokémon, neither group is good, especially since the latter is run by one of the most evil villains in the whole franchise.
• Manipulative Bastard:
  • As expected, for Team Strike and Team Photon, Ghetsis is only using either Lysandre or Farlie for his own ends and plans on dominating the new world they create himself.
  • For Team Eternal, Giovanni is only pretending to be helping Chairman Rose out with preventing an eventual energy crisis with the intent of using the limitless energy they'll bring forth to control the world himself.
• Merged Reality: Team Aurora's plans involve merging all worlds into one while also flooding it.
• Mildly Military: Team Strike has a military motif to it, its Grunts resembling soldiers.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The name Team Death sounds pretty ominous, right?
• Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Team Havoc isn't actually evil, just angry at the world for being wronged.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Several fusion teams are this:
  • Team Cosmic plans to destroy the world to create a new one without emotion or weather.

  • Team Genesis plans to erase all life in favor of replacing it with Ultra Beasts.
  • Team Death plans to erase every other world and turn the remaining one into one of darkness, chaos, and despair.

  • Team Portal plans to erase the world and remake it as one of Ultra Beasts.
  • Team Void plans to destroy all life in order to replace it as one of chaos and darkness.
• One-Time Dungeon: Each fusion villain team base can't be revisited after clearing it.
• Riddle for the Ages: While it's revealed that the group Remnant made it possible for the fusion teams to appear, exactly how said teams have appeared in Azuchaen, whether they re-founded and merged themselves after their defeat, were brought over from other worlds, or something else, is meant to be ambiguous.
• Shout-Out: Team Portal is meant to be one of the game sharing its name with its puzzle rooms involving teleportation and even what look like companion cubes.
• Take Over the World: Unbeknownst to their partners in their fusion teams, this is what Ghetsis and Giovanni plan on doing.
• Trapped in Villainy: When it comes to Team Portal, Wicke is actually being forced to help carry out their plans and try and stop you.
• Utopia Justifies the Means: Most fusion teams, the exceptions being Team Death, Team Burst, Team Void, and Team Havoc, have this intent.
• Vampire Vannabe: Team Death has a vampire motif to it that looks straight out of Castlevania.
• Yakuza: This happens to be Team Burst's motif, its Grunts wearing business suits associated with Yakuza higher-ups.

Spoiler Group

As a Whole *Spoilers*

WARNING: UNMARKED SPOILERS!

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. Little is known about them, with several mysteries surrounding them, although others will ally with them.

---

Tropes that apply to Remnant as a whole:

• Abusive Precursors: Remnant's higher-ups turn out to be this, as they are from the first humanity and all that's left of it, with all three of them pretty sinister.
• Ancient Evil: Remnant's inner circle are extremely old, given they were from an era of humanity that predates the current one.
• Calling Card: They have one in the form of a coin bearing an "R" that's composed of several different metals such as bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.
• Greater-Scope Villain:
  • Remnant turns out to be the ones behind Team Helix's plans, likely through Jacques and Whitley.
  • In Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise, Taozen mentions that he, Ruu, and Cinder have a master that is presumably Remnant's leader.
• Hijacked by Ganon: Remnant's appearance in Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise as the ones manipulating Team Chromatic effectively makes this the case.
• Immortality Immorality: Remnant's inner circle happen to be immortal, and they're not at all good given what they're out to do.
• Kill All Humans: At least part of Remnant's goals happen to be to wipe out human civilization, as it's the second humanity, which came after them.
• Les Collaborateurs: They are revealed to have allies in the form of Jacques and Whitley Schnee, Giovanni, and Kait Sinclair.
• Meaningful Name: The organization is called Remnant because they're all that left of the first humanity, i.e., a remnant.
• Mysterious Past: Although we know that Remnant is from the first humanity, we don't know much else about them, their role in the cataclysm, or how they became immortal.
• Nebulous Evil Organization: More so than other villain teams.
• Time Abyss: It turns out that the Remnant triumvirate are countless millennia old, having been part of the first humanity.
• Walking Spoiler: The fact that such a group even exists, much less has had a hand in this game's story or that of another, is a major spoiler.
• We Are Everywhere: Remnant is stated to have members all over the world.
