Capsakid (Japanese:カプサイジCapsaiji) is aGrass-typePokémon introduced inGeneration IX.

Itevolves intoScovillain when exposed to aFire Stone.

Biology

Capsakid is a short, green, bipedal plant Pokémon with no arms and a very short, stubby tail. It has a four-leaved dark green collar on its neck. Its head has a white, round cap radially split into six at the rim. This cap resembles an egg shell or thecalyx found on fruits, and has a small, bulbous green top. Its face has black eyes and an orange coloration on the tip of its beak-like mouth, which also contains a single front tooth on the upper jaw.

Capsakid's front tooth falls out naturally, and is used as a spice in traditionalPaldean cooking. Capsakid creates spicy chemicals inside its body by using energy from sunlight, which it uses to power its moves. Possibly due to the influence of the spicy chemicals, Capsakid is notorious for having violent mood swings. Capsakid will bite anything it dislikes.

Trivia

• Capsakid is the only non-Field Egg Group Pokémon and the onlyGrass-type Pokémon to evolve when exposed to aFire Stone.

Origin

Capsakid'scategory and appearance suggest it may be based on an immaturechili pepper such as thehabanero (as alluded to in its Japanese category). The splitting flower over the back of its pepper-shaped head is also based on how peppers grow; the budding berry will grow from inside the flower, causing its petals to cover the pistil of the developing pepper in a manner similar to Capsakid's cap. Its cap and beak also make it resemble thekappa. It also resembles a newly hatched baby dinosaur or chick, with its white cap resembling a piece of egg shell. The cap also resembles asunbonnet, hats worn by babies to protect them from sunburn, as Capsakid is still vulnerable toharsh sunlight-boosted Fire-type attacks, unlike its Evolution. Additionally, there is even a chili pepper named the "Scotch bonnet", for its resemblance to bonnets.

The Capsakid evolutionary line's introduction in Paldea may allude to howSpain was the first European country to acquire the chili pepper.

Name origin

Capsakid may be a combination ofcapsaicin (active component of chili peppers) orCapsicum (the genus of chili peppers),kappa, andkid.

Capsaiji may be a combination ofcapsaicin,kappa, and 児ji (child).
