Pokémon X and Pokémon Y

Seems like Shushup is based on plague doctors and the black death. as evidenced by it's "beak"


A surprisingly dark reference for such a cute pokemon.

it's also called the "perfume pokemon", so that pretty much solidifies our theory. plague doctors would have scented herbs and such (in the beak) to prevent the plague 'miasma' from getting to them.
