MasquerainPop Series 1 #7 Pokémon Card

Masquerain, the Eyeball Pokémon, is a Bug/Flying type introduced in Generation III. It is the evolved form of Surskit, reaching this stage at level 22. Known for its distinct wing patterns that resemble large eyes, Masquerain uses these markings to intimidate predators, often making them appear much larger and more threatening than they actually are. Its natural habitat includes ponds and lakes, where it can often be seen gliding gracefully over the water's surface, its wings catching the light. Masquerain primarily feeds on small insects and plant nectar. In the Pokémon games, Masquerain is often valued for its Speed and Special Attack stats, and its access to moves like Quiver Dance makes it a formidable special attacker. In the anime, Masquerain has made several appearances, showcasing its elegant flight and protective nature. Its design is inspired by the adult stage of an aquatic insect, such as a water strider or a pond skater, highlighting its connection to both water and air.
