![]() ![]() Tuesday, Thursday, and Hell Pockle were stronger in the Japanese version of Dark Cloud.The name could be also reference to the many pockets they sport on their attire, or a nickname for them being pick-pockets. In the English release of Dark Cloud, they are renamed to Pockle, which means to "swindle, cheat, hustle". In the Japanese version they are known as Pokkuru, based off the Koro-pok-kuru, which are a race of small people in folklore of the Ainu people of the northern Japanese islands.They share many similarities to the Firbits including being small and dwarf-like, a kid-like appearance, and long pointy ears.The seven Firbits in Dark Chronicle act as the spiritual successor to the Legendary Pockle Seven. Rather than being named after emotions, they are named after the seven days of the week. The Legendary Pockle Seven are most likely a reference to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as their appearance is dwarf-like, and the Pocklekul weapon description states they are seven forest dwarves.The Heat Fairy uses a jitte, a weapon used by samurai primarily for parrying, the Fairy Helper uses a rusty battle wrench, and the Hell Fairy uses a Trowel which parallels to the shovel used by the Hell Pockle in Dark Cloud. The variations of the Smiling Fairy in Dark Chronicle wield a variety of weapons as well.They are only the monster to appear in cutscenes in both games.They are the only monster to have a weapon inspired by them.Although the monster is referred to as a Fairy in Dark Chronicle, it is actually a dwarf as revealed by the Pocklekul weapon in both games. The armband Pocklekul is crafted and named after the Pockle monster, as its description states, "A weapon made to honor the forest dwarfs".Use this to dominate the fight, by timing your first attacks, and delivering massive damage when you have the chance. ![]() It has a very low pain chance and quite low health. For all the speed it has, it sacrifices its strength. But you must bear in mind that this monster does have weaknesses. ![]() It moves around one second, and is throwing five attacks the next. The attack is safely blocked, and is easy to predict, as the Smiling Fairy will make a high pitched devil-like laugh when making this attack. The second attack is a simple two swing knife attack, used when adjacent to the player. Be ready to block at all times when it has noticed you it will startle you with the speed it charges. In direct knowledge of your presence, it will dash towards you with a charging knife attack. The Smiling Fairy and its variations are agile, and are one of the fastest attacking enemies in the game. In Dark Chronicle, only one sub-variation of the original Pockle transferred, and is referred to as the Smiling Fairy. Hell Pockle (in the Moon Sea), uses a shovel and attacks very much like Wednesday.Saturday, the white one, carries boxing gloves it uses to punch you.Friday, the black one, doesn't carry any weapon, but will instead leap kick you to attack.Thursday, the green one, carries poisonous apples and will throw them at you.Wednesday, the red one, carries an axe and will quickly charge at you while attacking.Tuesday, the pink one, uses a blowdart and can easily poison you.Monday, the blue one, carries a spear.Sunday, the yellow one, carries around a knife and uses it for quick attacks.The Pockle, and its later variant the Hell Pockle, mostly use hit-and-run tactics, no matter what weapon they may be carrying. However, the Pockles have a tendency to steal your money when they attack you must defeat it to get your money back. Although they are each different, the Pockles are generally easy to dodge and defeat, given their small size and vulnerability to combo attacks. Each Pockle has their own color scheme, fighting style, and item drops. In the Wise Owl Forest, seven sub-variations of the Pockle exist, each named after a day in the week. Another variation, the Hell Pockle, exists in Dark Cloud, and is encountered in the Moon Sea, but does not have sub-variations like the Pockle does. In Dark Cloud, seven sub-variations of the Pockle exist, together which make up The Legendary Pockle Seven. ![]()
