Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

The feathers on a Josuche's wings are stiff and can be fanned out or folded in against one another. They can use their feathers for slashing or fanning attacks, close them up and swivel them around for swift jabs, or simply tuck them out of the way to deliver fierce strikes.

Josuche wander the forests in search of Pokémon like Parasect and Mephodil, carefully collecting their toxic spores and storing them in between their feathers. They then blow these spores at their opponents in battle to incapacitate them.

Name Origin

Joseon, the Korean dynasty that saw the invention of fan fighting + Mu Puche, the art of Korean fan fighting

Design History

(click thumbnail to enlarge.)

Josuche 2.0 (2019): Using 'normal' wings that can flare out and fold to look like fans is probably a better way to go here. It looks less clunky while still being big and noticeable, and together with the new body it's more of a tall, elegant bird Pokémon than a guy in a bird suit with fans taped to his arms. The lighter colors are also more vibrant, which is better for a peacock.

Josuche 1.0 (2010): A relatively complex design for early me, but a little stilted. My attempt to make the feathers look like fans mostly just stuck them together in an awkward bunch, and the body is too human in shape without being very interesting. Also, I probably shouldn't question this given Dodrio, but how does it fly?
