While it remains to be seenif Corbeau and the Rust Syndicate are the true villainsofPokemon Legends: Z-A, fans noticed that the syndicate leader already sports a familiar resemblance to a legendary monster. On thePokemonsubreddit, a Reddit user named VolcanicSquad09 shared a picture that compared Corbeau’s outfit to the Legendary Pokemon Fezandipiti.

Corbeau’s coat colors were similar to the ones used by Fezandipiti’s plumage, as it has brown and black feathers with a pink Toxic Chain given to it by Pecharunt. While somePokemontrainers saw the comparison with Fezandipiti, other fans stated Corbeau’s poison-drop motif was similar to one used by Atticus, the Poison-type lieutenant of Team Star fromPokemon Scarlet and Violet.

​​​​​​​Asone of Kitakami’s Loyal ThreeinPokemon Scarlet and Violet, Fezandipiti is a Poison and Fairy dual-type Legendary Pokemon known for its deceptively high special defense and speed stats. Fezandipiti’s diverse move pool and Toxic Chain ability make it a consistent threat in battle. Fenzandipiti shares the Toxic Chain motif and ability with Munkidori and Okidogi, along with being Pecharunt’s retainers. Fezandipiti can be battled and caught on Kitakami’s Oni Mountain during the main story of theTeal Maskexpansion.

However, further details about Corbeau and the Rust Syndicate remain elusive as of this writing. WithMega Evolution returning as a core mechanic inPokemon Legends: Z-A, it remains to be seen how Corbeau and other trainers will use it as part of the Z-A Royale.
