The Pokemon community has been abuzz with comparisons between Corbeau, the enigmatic leader of the Rust Syndicate in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and Fezandipiti, one of the Legendary Loyal Three from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Trainers have noted remarkable similarities in their visual designs, particularly in their shared black, brown, and pink color palette and poison-themed aesthetics.

During the July 2025 Pokemon Presents showcase, Pokemon Legends: Z-A revealed several key features including the return of Mega Evolution and introduced Corbeau as the Poison-type specialist leading the Rust Syndicate. Players will encounter this formidable opponent during the Z-A Royale, the game's innovative take on traditional Gym battles.

Reddit user VolcanicSquad09 sparked the comparison trend by highlighting how Corbeau's stylish outfit - featuring a black coat with poison-drop patterns, pink earrings, and golden glasses - mirrors Fezandipiti's plumage. The legendary Pokemon's brown and black feathers with pink Toxic Chain accessories create an uncanny resemblance to the syndicate leader's fashion choices.

Fezandipiti, as one of Kitakami's Loyal Three in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, boasts impressive special defense and speed stats along with its signature Toxic Chain ability. This Poison/Fairy type legendary creature plays a significant role in the Teal Mask expansion, where trainers can encounter it on Oni Mountain.

While some fans see the Fezandipiti connection, others note Corbeau's design also shares elements with Atticus, the Poison-type specialist from Team Star in Scarlet and Violet. This has led to speculation about potential narrative connections between these characters across different Pokemon generations.
