Moon

Its wings and antennae don’t cope well with moisture. After a rain, it faces sunward to dry off.

Ultra Sun

Masquerain intimidates enemies with the eyelike patterns of its eyespots. If that doesn’t work, it deftly makes its escape on its set of four wings.

Omega Ruby

Masquerain intimidates enemies with the eyelike patterns on its antennas. This Pokémon flaps its four wings to freely fly in any direction—even sideways and backwards—as if it were a helicopter.

Alpha Sapphire
