Trivia[]

  • Despite being a firefly, she can be found all day in the wild in Diamond and Pearl, whereas real fireflies are nocturnal.
  • Illumise is the only non-Grass type Pokémon to learn Growth.
  • Illumise and Volbeat are both known as the Firefly Pokémon.
  • Despite being a Bug-type, she can't learn any Bug type move via level up or breeding in Generation III. The only Bug-type move she could learn was Silver Wind.
  • Sometimes, it is said that Illumise and Volbeat need each other to keep living. Just like Plusle and Minun.
  • All of Illumise's Pokédex entries mention Volbeat.

Origin[]

Illumise is based on a firefly while also taking inspiration from woman's fashion styles, most notably a flapper style. This is evidenced by the way Illumise's collar and stomach pattern are designed, which resemble the hair and clothing style respectively. This style as well as it being a female-only Pokémon line up with Volbeat, who is a male-only Pokémon and has a more men-inspired style.
