Trivia

• Phantern learns both Destiny Bond and Memento at level 44 due to the number 4 being considered an unlucky number in Chinese, Japanese and Korean culture, since it sounds similar to their words for "death".
• Similarly, Phantern learns the move Healing Wish at level 77, since the number 7 is considered to be lucky.

Design origin

Phantern is based on a sky lantern, which are sometimes used to commemorate the dead, but are also considered a sign of good luck. Its shape also resembles Chinese palace lanterns.

Name origin

Phantern's name is a combination of phantom and lantern.
