Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White, Black 2, White 2

A Pokémon that startles people in the middle of the night. It gathers fear as its energy.

Generation 6
X

It gets nourishment from fear that it absorbs into its red orbs. In daytime, it sleeps in darkness.

Y

It likes playing mischievous tricks, such as screaming and wailing to startle people at night.

Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire

Misdreavus frightens people with a creepy, sobbing cry. The Pokémon apparently uses its red spheres to absorb the fearful feelings of foes and turn them into nutrition.

Generation 7
Sun

It will use any means necessary to frighten people and absorb their life energy. It practices constantly to hone its skill in causing fear.

Moon

If you hear a sobbing sound emanating from a vacant room, it’s undoubtedly a bit of mischief from Misdreavus.

Ultra Sun

What gives meaning to its life is surprising others. If you set your ear against the red orbs around its neck, you can hear shrieking.

Ultra Moon

What makes it happy is imitating the voices of weeping people and scaring everyone. It doesn’t deal well with folks who aren’t easily frightened.
