Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

Varchani feed on the blood and energy of other Pokémon, although they are often too clumsy to drain much before their victims get away. They are easily frustrated and throw tantrums when their prey escapes, inadvertently startling other potential targets and scaring them off.


Some Varchani use their disarming looks to charm humans closer for a bite. The bites are said to cause disorientation and often inexplicable anger in people.

Name Origin

vârcolac, Romanian for vampire and/or werewolf + Lon Chaney, Jr., the actor who portrayed the werewolf in The Wolf Man
