Biology

Stantler is a deer-like Pokémon with brown fur, a large nose and antlers. Its horns grant the Pokémon psychic abilities, being able to create illusions, warp reality, and make people feel ill. Its antlers are seen as valuable works of art, leading to Stantler being hunted to near-extinction.

The antlers also hold round balls that, if ground into powder, grant aid to people when sleeping. Stantler is said to have pulled Santa's sleigh. Stantler was once able to evolve into Wyrdeer, though they lost the ability to do so by the present day due to the lack of predators and harsh environments of the Hisui region that allowed them to strengthen their psychic powers.

Design & origin

Stantler is based on reindeer. Its English name is a combination of "stag" and "antler", though Nob Ogasawara, the English translator for the Pokémon series, had suggested "Scaribou" as an alternate name. Its Japanese name, Odoshishi, is in reference to shishi-odoshi.
