Darkrai is shown to be mysterious, sinister and ominous, yet extremely misunderstood. It's also shown to be a creature of habit for it causes nightmares, regardless of who it affects. However, there is very little evidence to prove it maliciously scares humans on purpose.

The top of its body is connected to the lower half by a tiny waist, giving it an hourglass shaped figure. It has a red spiky growth around its neck and a long white mane flows from its head, obscuring one of its blue eyes. Its thin arms have three claws each, with three spiky protrusions above each elbow. Its shoulders also have long tatters and it appears to be wearing an old ripped cloak or dress. It is able to extend stilt-like extensions to use as legs.

Garchomp is a bipedal draconic shark-like Pokémon, colored mostly dark purplish-blue. It has red underbelly, extending from its mouth to its belly, which ends in a yellow triangle-like shape. On its head it possesses two horn-like appendages, also resembling a hammerhead shark, with dark gray and yellow eyes under them, as well as a star-like yellow mark on its snout. Its arms have one claw each, and triangular fins emerge from behind these claws, as well as one on its back, which has a notch out of it, if male. It also has two on its tail tip, one on top and one on the bottom. It has two white spikes on its arms and legs, and it has four teeth on top if its mouth, and six on the bottom, the tops ones overlap when its mouth is closed. It has three lines across its neck, (which are not a different color than the main body) which somewhat resemble gills, however they are also found around its legs and tail, as well as two on the ‘horns.’ It likely takes inspiration from the Carcharodontosaurus as well, with its name meaning ‘shark-toothed lizard.’

Garchomp are relentless pursuit predators that chase down their prey while never allowing them to escape. Being carnivores, If they ever irrupt into a flock of bird Pokémon, they will not hesitate to swallow the entire flock. They always have violent disputes with Salamence, their natural rival, when hunting for food. They are loyal and friendly towards their trainers though

Blaziken is a large, bipedal, humanoid bird-like or a humanoid chicken-like Pokémon that resembles a rooster. Its face, lower body, arms, and tail are bright red, with some yellow patches on its chest, and running down its legs and feet. It has a tan-colored plume of feathers surrounding its face and chest, like a mane. Two long, tan feathery plumes stem from the back of Blaziken's head. It has blue eyes with yellow sclera. Its mouth is beak-like and hooked, with small nostrils, and it has a V-shaped crest on its forehead. Its arms are long, with sharp, gray claws. It has gray claws at the bases of its yellow-feathered feet. It has a small, pointed red tail.

The stronger Blazikens' foes are, the more determined Blaziken are to defeat them. Every few years, their feathers burn off from repeated exposure to fire. However, newer, softer ones regrow in their place. These feathers are important because they help Blaziken regulate their body temperatures; when they burn up, they must rest and refrain from using their fire powers until they regrow. Their awesome power and speed make Blaziken strong choices for First partner Pokémon in Hoenn.
