Trivia

Misdreavus is the only Ghost type Pokémon to be revealed in Generation II.
Although its appearance seems feminine, a male Misdreavus can be found in the wild at a 50% rate.
Excluding evolutions, Misdreavus is one of four plain Ghost Pokémon, with the others being Shuppet, Duskull and Yamask.
Even though Misdreavus is the "Screech Pokémon", it cannot learn Screech by leveling up.
Misdreavus appears in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, where she runs a Photo Studio in the Cove Town.
Misdreavus is the first pure Ghost-type Pokémon to be introduced.

Origin

Misdreavus is based off of the Nukekubi, a floating head that is similar in nature to a vampire. The Nukekubi is also known to let out terrifying screeches, a trait it shares with Misdreavus.

Etymology

Misdreavus' name is a combination of the words mischievous, dream and reave or reap.

Its Japanese name, Muuma, is literally the word nightmare. It also means "a demon of dreams". It could also be a corruption of the word murmur as in ghost murmurs.
