Capsakid is a Grass-type Pokémon in the franchise of the same name. It was introduced in the ninth generation. It evolves into Scovillain when exposed to a Fire Stone.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Capsakid is a short, green, bipedal plant Pokémon with no arms and a very short, stubby tail. It has a four-leaved dark green collar on its neck. Its head has a white, round cap radially split into six at the rim. This cap resembles an egg shell or the calyx found on fruits, and has a small, bulbous green top. Its face has black eyes and an orange coloration on the tip of its beak-like mouth, which also contains a single front tooth on the upper jaw. Capsakid's front tooth falls out naturally, and is used as a spice in traditional Paldean cooking. Capsakid creates spicy chemicals inside its body by using energy from sunlight, which it uses to power its moves.

Capsakid appeared in the Pokétoon short, Romantic Spice: The Legend of Capsakid.
Origin & Inspiration[]
Capsakid's category and appearance suggest it may be based on an immature chili pepper such as the habanero (as alluded to in its Japanese category). Its cap and beak also make it resemble the kappa. It also resembles a newly hatched baby dinosaur, with its white cap resembling a piece of egg shell.
Capsakid may be a combination of capsaicin (active component of chili peppers), kappa, and kid.
