Trivia[]
- Before meeting Pecharunt, Fezendipiti used to be a Pokémon with short and dull feathers, most likely pheasant related.
- Despite it's avian appearance, it is not a Flying-type, making it one of the few bird-like Pokémon to not be in the Flying typing; including the Torchic and the Piplup evolutionary lines. However, it can learn certain Flying-type moves.
- Fezandipiti is the second Pokémon with Poison/Fairy type combination, the first being Galarian Weezing.
Origin[]
Fezandipiti, along with Ogerpon, Okidogi, Munkidori, and Pecharunt, are based on the creatures of the Japanese folktale; Momotarō. Fezandipiti specifically represents the pheasant of the folktale. Fezandipiti also resembles a Japanese pheasant, Particularly, the copper pheasant (山鳥 yamadori in Japanese), a pheasant endemic to Japan and chosen as the prefectural bird of Akita.
Both the male and the female copper pheasants have a similar brown color, but the male has a brighter hue with coppery luster. Its crest and plumage also bears resemblance to the hoatzin, whose consumption of toxic plants and emission of malodor may in turn inspired its Poison-type.
Fezandipiti, together with Okidogi, Munkidori, and Ogerpon, may reference the Japanese folktale of Momotarō. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of oni (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations).
Its plumage resembles a kimono, and the chain on its waist resembles an obi belt, such as a knotted maruobi. Its crest also resembles a collection of kanzashi, while the white face is reminiscent of oshiroi. These things, its beautiful looks, and its lovely voice could also point to geisha—female Japanese performance artists—as a possible inspiration.
Given that Fezandipiti is male-only, its design may also hint at male kabuki performers who assumed the role of female characters (particularly oiran) on stage and also used oshiroi.
Etymology[]
Fezandipiti is derived from "Pheasant" and "Serendipity", with the spelling altered to make it feel more Japanese-like.
