It is a unique Pokémon, not evolving from or into any other species, and is often found guarding ancient cities and ruins in the desert regions of the Unova and Alola regions. Its design is based on Nazca Lines, ancient geoglyphs found in Peru, which explains its mysterious and otherworldly appearance.
