It was introduced in Generation 7 and comes from the [Alola](https://pokee.si/guide/regions/alola) region. It is 1 m tall and weighs 11.5 kg. Shiinotic is the Illuminating Pokémon, a glowing mushroom that lures travellers deep into dark forests with its lights and puts them to sleep. The Pokédex warns you to keep away from any light you spot deep in a forest after dark. ## How to pronounce Shiinotic Shiinotic is pronounced **shee-NOT-ik**. The capital letters show the stressed syllable. Listen to Shiinotic said out loud: [Listen](https://pokee.si/audio/names/756.mp3) In Japanese it is マシェード (Mashade). Hear every other name on the [Pokémon pronunciation guide](https://pokee.si/pronounce). ## Lore ### Biology Shiinotic is a slim white Grass and Fairy type, 1.0 m tall and 11.5 kg, topped by a big purple mushroom cap. The cap has a frilly pink edge, light green bumps on top and a glowing light green underside with gills. Each of its long thin arms ends in three light green filaments. The Pokédex says its flickering spores cause drowsiness. ### Behaviour Shiinotic lives in dark forests, where its strange lights confuse people so that they lose their way. The Pokédex says it drains energy from sleeping prey through the tips of its arms, and Bulbapedia adds that it can also send energy to anyone it likes. It fights Parasect for territory, and the Pokédex says the battles leave the area coated in spores. ### Habitat The Pokédex says it lives in dark forests. In Sun and Moon you get one by evolving Morelull, and in Sword and Shield it appears around Glimwood Tangle. It is not available in Scarlet and Violet or Legends: Z-A. ### Powers Its Ability can be Illuminate or Effect Spore, with Rain Dish hidden. It learns Spore and Moonblast, and drains health with Giga Drain and Strength Sap. Special Attack of 90 and Special Defense of 100 make it a sturdy special attacker, but its Speed of 30 is low. ### Name origin Shiinotic may combine 'shiitake', 'shine' and 'hypnotic'. The Japanese name is Mashade (マシェード), which may blend 'mushroom' and 'shade', as in lampshade. ### Design inspiration Shiinotic may draw on glowing mushrooms such as Mycena, and its sac and wide warty cap are traits of the Amanita family. Bulbapedia also suggests a bedside lamp, a will-o'-the-wisp, or a grey alien with a U.F.O.-shaped cap. These are fan readings, not official statements. ### Evolution notes Shiinotic evolves from Morelull at level 24. ### In the games Shiinotic is a trial Pokémon in Lush Jungle in Moon, with Parasect taking that role in Sun; both games are its debut. It is also found in Sword and Shield, but it is not available in Scarlet and Violet or Legends: Z-A. ### In the anime A group of freshly evolved Shiinotic debuted in 'Lulled to La-La Land!'. One lights Oranguru's hideout in 'Mallow and the Forest Teacher!', and another meets Gladion and his Umbreon in 'Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!'. ### Fun facts - Scarlet and Violet's internal data flags Shiinotic as Mythical rather than Marshadow, probably a typo between their internal names. - Shiinotic is a counterpart to Parasect: both are fungus Pokémon with a base stat total of 405 and identical base HP and Speed. - Morelull can learn Sunny Day by TM in Sun and Moon, but Shiinotic cannot.

Shiinotic will make you fall fast asleep. *(Shield)* Its flickering spores lure in prey and put them to sleep. Once this Pokémon has its prey snoozing, it drains their vitality with its fingertips. *(Sword)* When it starts fighting for territory with Parasect, the entire area gets completely coated in spores! *(Ultra Moon)* It puts its prey to sleep and siphons off their vitality through the tip of its arms. If one of its kind is weakened, it helps by sending it vitality. *(Ultra Sun)* It emits flickering spores that cause drowsiness. When its prey succumb to sleep, this Pokémon feeds on them by sucking in their energy. *(Moon)* Forests where Shiinotic live are treacherous to enter at night. People confused by its strange lights can never find their way home again. *(Sun)* ## Names around the world - **Japanese**: マシェード - **Romaji**: Mashade - **French**: Lampignon - **German**: Lamellux - **Spanish**: Shiinotic - **Italian**: Shiinotic - **Korean**: 마셰이드 - **Chinese (Simplified)**: 灯罩夜菇 - **Chinese (Traditional)**: 燈罩夜菇 ## Trivia - Highest Sp.
