Stantler (Japanese:オドシシOdoshishi) is aNormal-typePokémon introduced inGeneration II.

InPokémon Legends: Arceus, itevolves intoWyrdeer after usingPsyshield Bash in theagile style at least 20 times.

Biology

Stantler is a quadrupedal,cervidPokémon. It has a tan pelt with a cream-colored belly and a few spots on its back. Its tail is large, short, and round, and each of its legs ends in a black hoof. It has a large, brown nose and a pair of pale cream-colored antlers, each with a black orb in the center. The shape of the antlers and the black orbs causes them to resemble eyes. Stantler can distort reality and create illusions with its antlers by subtly changing the flow of air around them. Staring into them creates an odd sensation, as if one is being sucked through them, and one may become so dizzy that it is impossible to stand. The orbs on the antlers have a pleasant scent, which can induce a bewildering effect on people. The orbs can also be ground into a powder that aids in sleeping.

Stantler's strange antlers were very valuable as works of art, and as such, the species was nearly hunted to extinction. Stantler live in herds in temperate, mountainousforests; these herds are sometimes led by aWyrdeer. As shown in thePokémon the Series episodeThe Little Big Horn, a baby Stantler that is separated from its herd and frightened will instinctively produce an illusion of a big, stampeding herd to scare away perceived threats. In the past, Stantler lived in tougher environments with more enemies, which strengthened its psychic powers and allowed it to evolve into Wyrdeer.

Stantler and its evolved form, Wyrdeer, are theonly known Pokémon capable of learning the movePsyshield Bash.

Trivia

• Stantler is found onJohtoRoute 36, which leads toViolet City, the game counterpart ofNara, Japan, a city where many tame deer roam freely.
• Nob Ogasawara, the translator of the Pokémon games to English, had suggested "Scaribou" for Stantler's English name, although it was not accepted byNintendo of America.^[1][2][3]
• Stantler andUrsaring'sEvolutions, as well asScyther's Evolution intoKleavor, are all programmed intoPokémon Scarlet and Violet, with the Pokémon being affected byEviolite. However, it is impossible to trigger them in-game as they are assigned to a placeholder Evolution method with no code that can trigger it.

Origin

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

On the Origin of Species: Stantler

Stantler seems to be based on adeer, most noticeably thesika deer, and thereindeer.

Stantler also seems to be a pun onshishi-odoshi or "deer scare", Japanese devices traditionally used to scare deers and other animals away. Notably, due to Stantler's antlers resembling intimidating eyes, they may be specifically based onmedama fūsen (eyeball balloon), also known as eyespot balloons or scare-eye balloons — large balloons with eyeball patterns used to scare birds.

The black orbs from Stantler's antlers being used to treat insomnia may reference the use ofvelvet antler in traditional Chinese medicine, usually farmed from sika deers.

Name origin

Stantler may be a combination ofstartle,stare, orstag (a male deer) andantler.

Odoshishi may be derived from 鹿威しshishi-odoshi.
