- polteageist (the design of this reminds me of the Portuguese stone art azulejo, and also because portugal introduced tea to england(this doesnt mean portugal invented tea of course))
- spectrier (spectrier is a pokemon that desires isolation and silence, i think the nature of spectrier fits the word saudade, in portuguese it means a somewhat melancholic feeling of incompleteness (in other words a longing for something that is absent)It also derives from the latin word of solitude.)
- yamask, galarian (from bulbapedia -Due to being a human long ago, Yamask retains its memories from before it became a Pokémon- the background of this pokemon somewhat reminds me of a folk ritual from portugal, careto. Part of it symbolizing winter's end and the bringing of spring's fertility (yamask originally being a human) It is a wild and noisy festival like how if someone were possessed by yamask upon wearing the mask or how aggressive yamask gets when its mask is taken away. Ehh however i do not want to butcher the significance of this festival with my understanding, I encourage you to read more about it because its really interesting! https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/discovering-pagan-parades-pyrotechnics-portugals-ancient-mountain-carnival)
- meloetta, pirouette (not sure about this one cause i just put her here to make it equal 💔 i might change later when i do more research)
