Wyrdeer (Japanese:アヤシシAyashishi) is a dual-typeNormal/PsychicPokémon introduced duringGeneration VIII, inPokémon Legends: Arceus.

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

Biology

Wyrdeer is a snow deer-likePokémon. Its body is mostly gray with white spots, as well as white fur on its lower legs, underside, round tail, eyebrows, and mane, the latter resembling a beard. Wyrdeer has large, golden antlers, the shape of which resembles radio antennae. Each of these antlers has one black orb near the base. Wyrdeer also has a brown nose and black cloven hooves, as well as two tufts of fur on the back of each lower leg.

Wyrdeer is well-beloved by the people in theHisui region due to its highly prized fur, which provides excellent insulation from the cold and is used to make clothing. By using the orbs on its antlers, Wyrdeer can unleash psychic powers strong enough to distort space, and also create invisible barriers for protection. It also uses the antlers to leadStantler herds and search for safe paths to travel.^[1] Wyrdeer's sturdy legs allow it to gallop and dash across the land, and jump over any obstacle in its way. Wyrdeer is implied to be extinct in the present day, Stantler are said to be no longer capable of evolving into Wyrdeer and they're not known to be found anywhere.

A special Wyrdeer is also worshiped due to being descended from one of the ten ancient Pokémon who received a blessing fromArceus and serves as aRide Pokémon. The people inHisui use theCelestica Flute to call for his aid. He resides in theObsidian Fieldlands, watched over by thewardenMai.

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

Trivia

• Wyrdeer, along withUrsaluna andKleavor, are the firstcross-generational Evolutions thatevolve from the original form rather than the regional form to be introduced sinceSylveon inGeneration VI.
  • Since their pre-evolutions cannot evolve into them inPokémon Scarlet and Violet, and because both Ursaluna (through a different form) and Kleavor are obtainable inThe Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, this makes Wyrdeer the only one of these Pokémon that is only available in that game through transfer fromPokémon HOME, along with Ursaluna's original form, though they can be obtained with its origin mark and possibly, the player's Trainer ID by transferring their pre-Evolution toPokémon Legends: Arceus, evolving them there and returning it back.
• Wyrdeer shares many similarities withFarigiraf.
  • They are bothNormal/Psychic Pokémon.
  • They both haveSap Sipper as aHidden Ability.
  • They both areEvolutions ofGeneration II Pokémon, those being Stantler for Wyrdeer andGirafarig for Farigiraf respectively.
  • They are both based onartiodactyls, with Wyrdeer being adeer and Farigiraf being agiraffe.
  • They both debuted in games released in 2022, with Wyrdeer first appearing inPokémon Legends: Arceus and Farigiraf first appearing in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Origin

Wyrdeer seems to be based on differentdeer species, mainly theYezo sika deer and thereindeer. The former is a subspecies of thesika deer native toHokkaido, the region of Japan which Hisui is based on. Much like how Wyrdeer is treasured by Hisuian people because their fur is a useful clothing material, the Yezo sika deer is considered very important to theAinu people as their hide is essential for clothing.

Wyrdeer's white beard-like mane and eyebrows resemble elderly Ainu men, and also the stereotypical representations of awise old men,wizards, andSanta Claus. Its antlers are similar to Stantler's and as such may be based onshishi-odoshi, more specifically themedama fūsen, also known as eyespot balloons or scare-eye balloons. The way Wyrdeer's antlers branch perpendicularly also resemblesYagi antennae.

Name origin

Wyrdeer may be a combination ofwyrd (Anglo-Saxon concept roughly equivalent to fate or destiny),weird, anddeer.

Ayashishi may be a combination of 怪しいayashii (strange/weird) and 鹿kanoshishi orshishi (archaism for deer). This uncommon reading was likely chosen so the name stays similar to Stantler's Japanese name オドシシOdoshishi, which seems to reference 鹿威しshishi-odoshi (a device used to scare deer and other animals away).
