Sour

Sour is a Mercury Djinni found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, and is numerically the ninth Mercury Djinni found overall and the second found in The Lost Age.

Location
It is found by random encounter on the overworld map in the plains area northeast of Mikasalla, where it then must be battled to be acquired.

Description
When Set, it increases base HP by 8, base PP by 4, and base Attack by 3.

When used, Sour damages the foe with Mercury damage 50% above the user’s normal attack damage and reduces the target’s resistance by 40, and later it can be used again to drop it further down to 80.

Name Orgin
At first glance, Sour seems like an unlikely name for a Mercury Djinni. However, sourness is the taste that detects acidity. Acids are typically considered liquids or are associated with them, hence the reason Sour is a Mercury Djinni.
