"Eyes brimming with dark flame, this man rejected everything other than himself in order to bring about one singular justice...' That's part of a novel I'm writing. I was inspired by the challenger who was just here, and somehow I got a little sad... Excuse me. You're a challenger, right? I'm the Elite Four's Ghost-type Pokémon user, Shauntal, and I shall be your opponent."
— One of Shauntal's speeches in Pokémon Black and White, this one involving N.

Shauntal is the first member of Unova's Elite Four who specializes in using Ghost-type Pokémon.

Appearance[]

Shauntal has violet hair and glasses; her outfit is a violet dress with dark violet tights and pink Mary Jane shoes. She wears an additional black collar to her outfit and black gloves. Her books and pens are pink.

Personality[]

Rather bookish, Shauntal loves to write stories. She is fascinated with her Ghost-type Pokémon, often using them as the muse of inspiration to write, as well as the trainers that she battles. Shauntal sometimes carries around with her a pen and a blank book so that way she could write the next chapter of her story. She gets her stories based on her Pokémon team.

Battle against shauntal

The Battle against Shauntal

  • Shauntal's usage of Ghost Pokémon coupled with the fact that she carries around a book and pen is a reference to a ghostwriter, a person who writes a novel or article for someone else and gives them the credit.
  • With the exception of Golurk, who is genderless, all of Shauntal's Pokémon are female.
  • Golurk is her only Pokémon not to know the move Shadow Ball and is her only genderless Pokémon.
  • Shauntal's name derives from "haunt." Her Japanese name, Shikimi, comes from 死 (shi, death), 鬼 (ki, ghost or demon), and 式神 (shikigami, a type of ghost in Shintō).
  • She mentions Volkner, a challenger she battled in the past.
  • Her outfit is based on a black cat.
  • Shauntal is left-handed.
