About
|
Sazubo is the spirit of a Pokémon drowned by its own trainer. Because of this, it is very vicious to any sort of visitors. It hides in a dark storm cloud lingering over a mysteriously murky lake. Elders living near the lake often warn children not to swim near the cloud because the Sazubo is said to drown children, but no evidence of this actually happening has ever surfaced. Its body is hardly ever seen, just reports of its eerie mask is seen when the dark cloud causes lethal thunderstorms. Its body is covered in a feathery water-proofed down. You cannot move forward through the game until you calm the spirit. Its large black cloud covers the pathway forward. You can only encounter it if you have the Luxabiit Amulet given to you by an old man who tells you the folktale of the Sazubo. If you catch this Pokémon, it will not obey your commands until you have at least three Pokémon level 50 or above.
