Folklore Pokemon: Sāriknight
Sāriknight is a mythical pokemon that appear in many beliefs and folklore related to Arceus. They have the appearance of Gardevoir and Mega Gardevoir, but with differently shaped ears, completely green (sometimes yellow) eyes, lighter hair, and wings. They are said to be messengers of Arceus. While they originated in Hoenn of them being messengers of Rayquaza, beliefs of them soon spread around the world, and are now most commonly associated with the Arceus faith.

Their name comes from the word "Sār" meaning "princes" and "Sirknight," which is their Hoenn name. Legends state that these pokemon often give messages to humans through dreams or unown, with some sources even stating that they give prophecies using these methods. Despite their supposed strength, Sāriknight was stated to not be as strong as legendaries, but more powerful than the average mythical.
