Disclaimer: If I owned Pokémon, only cruel Trainers would use Fissure on their opponents. But I don't!

#476 Probopass

An ancient civilization was recently discovered in the South Pacific. Its ruins were bereft of people, but overrun with gigantic Probopass.

#477 Dusknoir

It usually takes only the old and sick. However, it recently took a young, healthy man with no discernible explanation.

#478 Froslass

Disguised as a woman, it invites weary travelers into its cabin. Once they enter, it distracts them with strange tags until they are snowed in.

#479 Rotom

It is believed to hold the secret to powering a fusion reactor at feasible temperatures. It often takes control of airplanes and causes them to crash.

#480 Uxie

It must dream constantly to remember. Those who have lost their memory forget that cars or Pokémon are dangerous and end up killing themselves.

#481 Mesprit

It must hurt itself constantly to feel. Those who cannot feel lose their pain receptors and die from burns, cuts or poisons that they do not notice.

#482 Azelf

It must lie constantly to remain stoic. Those who have lost the will to live stop moving, fall over and die.

It manipulates Celebi into fulfilling its whims. It once stopped time for 23 hours and 40 minutes to destroy the army of a rival god.

#484 Palkia

Its body exists in ten dimensions. It brought a plague to an ancient kingdom to demonstrate its power over the pharaoh's lesser gods.

It creates islands by triggering volcanic eruptions. The first Team Magma used it to conceal the Cave of Origin in a volcano until it could revive Groudon but became food for the beast during the process.

#486 Regigigas

It fell from the sky one day but was unharmed by the impact. Ferroseed attempt to reactivate it but have so far been unsuccessful.

#487 Giratina

It drifts through space, seeking matter to annihilate. Arceus cast it to the outer darkness in ancient times to suppress its cult.

Desert nomads honored it with sacrifices under the full moon. Even after its worship as a god was suppressed, people prayed to it as an exalted intercessor.

A stunted, infertile shell of its parent. Somehow aware that it is a biological failure, it wanders the seas in loneliness, not caring if it dies during its travels.

#490 Manaphy

Its unearthly lights terrify sailors at night. Those who have been subjected to its Heart Swap report constant paranoia that they are not really themselves.

#491 Darkrai

It induces horrific nightmares to subdue its prey. Humans who experience these phantasms often become addicted to anti-sleep medications so they never have to repeat the experience.

#492 Shaymin

A nature god that bestows blessings upon those filled with gratitude. However, it grants boons even to those who feel grateful as a result of schadenfreude.

A vengeful god that kills those who worship other deities. It appears to humans as a shower of golden rain; to look upon its true form is death.

#494 Victini

With every victory comes a defeat for those who fought on the losing side. It immolates its fallen opponents to ensure that their failure is eternal.

#495 Snivy

A smug Pokémon favored as a pet by millionaires. If its fragile pride is wounded, so will be those who hurt it.

#496 Servine

A stealthy, predatory worm lizard which occupies a similar ecological niche to extinct deinonychosaurs. It slithers into strike position before pursuing its prey on foot.
