Read more ↓Shiinotic, the Illuminating Pokémon, is a dual Grass/Fairy type introduced in Generation VII, native to the Alola region. It evolves from Morelull, a small mushroom-like Pokémon, at level 24. Shiinotic resembles a large, glowing mushroom with a humanoid body, and its most distinctive feature is its ability to emit flickering spores that lull prey to sleep. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its deceptive nature, as it uses these spores to drain the vitality of snoozing victims with its fingertips. Shiinotic typically inhabits forests, particularly those with dense foliage where its bioluminescence can be most effective in attracting both prey and potential mates. In the games, it's known for its unique type combination, which provides it with resistances to common types like Fighting, Bug, and Dark, while being vulnerable to Fire, Poison, Flying, and Steel. In the anime, Shiinotic often appears in episodes focusing on mysterious forest phenomena or as a Pokémon used by trainers who appreciate its strategic sleep-inducing abilities. Its design, reminiscent of classic fairy tale mushrooms, gives it a subtle cultural significance as an enigmatic forest dweller.
