"The poison that leaks from its mask can cause sickness in Pokemon and human alike. Because of this, Miasmaroma is considered by many to be a malevolent Pokemon. However, those who befriend it will find that a happy Miasmaroma releases a lovely perfume from under its wings which has powerful healing properties."
Inspirations:
Plague doctors, Flamingos, Miasma Theory
Name was from aroma and miasma, which means a foul smelling or sickly air. I thought it was fitting, because back in the day it was believed that the smell of the air was what caused sickness, so plague doctors would stuff potpourri in the noses of their masks. This theory of 'sick air' was called the Miasma Theory.
The Miasma Theory was also applied in the substances Miasmaroma releases. The bad smelling poison causes sickness, while the good smelling perfume heals.
I kept the same stat total as Aromatisse, but changed things around. While Aromatisse is a more bulky Pokemon, Miasmaroma would be a Special Attacker. I gave it Serene Grace with the idea that it would use the ability to up the chance of its moves poisoning the foe. (Serene Grace ups the chance of secondary effects of moves happening, like for example flinching with Rock Slide or burning with Flamethrower.)
