Shuppet / Banette

Shuppet is a spherical, levitating Pokémon that appears to be covered by a gray cloth. Black rings surround its multicoloured eyes, which have light-blue sclerae, dark-blue irises, and yellow pupils. Occasionally, it will display a large, pink tongue. Extending from the top of its head is a long, pointed horn.
The horn collects the negative emotions of people, on which this Pokémon feeds. The emotions it feeds on include anger, jealousy, resentment, and malice, so some people are grateful for its presence. This also helps Shuppet become slowly stronger. A nocturnal Pokémon, Shuppet will appear in swarms beneath the eaves of houses with negative people. As such, there exists a proverb that says, “Shun the house where Shuppet gathers in the growing dusk”. It is most commonly found in cities and other urban settings and will retreat to the nest in which it lives when the sun rises.

Shuppet

It loves to feed on feelings like envy and malice. Its upright horn catches the emotions of people.

Banette is a dark gray, doll-like Pokémon that is possessed by pure hatred. It has three short spikes on its head and a long zigzagging ribbon trailing off the back of its head. A zipper acts as its mouth, and it has purplish-pink eyes with slit pupils. Its long, flat arms have three-fingered hands, while its legs are short and stubby. It has a yellow, brush-like tail.
Being driven to live by a powerful grudge, it keeps its life force safely in its body by means of its zipped-up mouth. If unzipped, it would lose its energy. It lays curses on others by using its body as a voodoo doll and sticking pins into itself. It lives in garbage dumps and dark alleys, where it searches for the person who threw it away before it became a Pokémon. It is said that treating it with enough care will satisfy its grudge and will turn it back into a stuffed toy.

Banette

This Pokémon developed from an abandoned doll that amassed a grudge. It is seen in dark alleys.
