An unusual evolution of the A-Bra, though one sought after by those within industrial fields rather than by tamers. There are two main differences between the Ishtar and the A-bra's standard evolution, the Ka-D-bra. The first is that the Ishtar's breasts do not grow as large, without modifications, as a Ka-D-bra's, averaging somewhere between a mid B-cup to a large C-cup. Secondly, the Ishtar possesses dual prehensile appendages that connect to the back of her head, rather than the antennae that the A-bra and her other evolutions possess. These duphra (as they are popularly known) are often as long as one of the Pokégirl’s arms and are completely prehensile. Each one ends in a dull tip, much like the tail of a Kitten's is. Although prehensile, it is rare that the Ishtar show them to be such, instead preferring to make others think that they are more or less just a physical feature. In private with her tamer, however, the Ishtar enjoys using her duphra in sensual acts. These 'head-tails', as a few tamers call them, are very sensitive to the touch and can cause the Ishtar to feel great pain and pleasure, depending on what is inflicted to them. The Pokégirl does grow taller, however, although few reach more than 5'10" in height. One thing that often changes is their skin color, which often ranges through many different colors. Light green, pale blue, red, orange, and black have all been reported and confirmed.

Perhaps the greatest change is that of the Pokégirl’s perception of spiritual definitions and her reliance upon her mind for her power. While still a psychic type, the Ishtar is much more attuned to the spiritual facets of the mind and body. They are capable of changing things with her psychic powers- unlike most psychic powers, which are blunt and direct, this Pokégirl’s powers are more refined and subtle. Capable of becoming incorporeal for short periods of time, like most ghost types, this breed is not fully such all the time, unlike most ghost types. While incorporeal, the Pokégirl can inspect the inner workings of just about anything that is not alive (humans, Pokégirls, animals, and plant-life are beyond the breed's abilities), and then using her psychic powers, can deconstruct and then reassemble them. Usually, this requires the use of her hands and duphra as foci, but more experienced Pokégirls of this breed are capable of this act without such focus points. Distractions or bad material combinations often result in unusual and unwanted elements, in design, function, or effect.

In a battle, this breed prefers to inflict her opponent with some sort of ailment before striking out with her psychic attacks. If she can't keep a distance, the Ishtar tends to rely on her Energy Drain technique to keep her strength up and to weaken the opponent at the same time. For the most part, this Pokégirl’s attack strategy is to defeat her opponent using strikes that are aimed at critical areas of the target, rather than going all out. To this effect, she often utilizes Dominate to stun her opponent before going in to attack. As she is more defensive in nature than offensive, she can usually outlast an enemy if she can't outright defeat her thanks to her amazing capacity to take punishment, as well as to avoid being struck. However, the Ishtar does have a weakness that she attempts to hide- her duphra are not as strong as her arms are, and with their sensitivity she feels more pain than normal from attacks that strike them.

Few of these Pokégirls have ever been found feral, but the few that have are not very intelligent and can no longer utilize her fusion powers. In a harem, the Ishtar are very detail oriented Pokégirls and many will nitpick plans, schedules, and certainly decision-making that takes place. They will often, if given the chance, chime in with their own thoughts and advice. Tamers who recognize this initiative and willingness to assist, though in sometimes a condescending manner, may find the Ishtar to be a good choice for an Alpha or a Beta. The fact that they have high libidos furthers the reasoning behind those positions. Tamers who are not patient, however, almost always sell these 'girls off to tradesmen, who find her capabilities to be very useful in almost any field. There has only been one documented threshold case, which shows that it is possible, but very unlikely. There is one little thing about the Ishtar, however, that tamers should remain aware of: when they are around 27 years old, the Ishtar will undergo her second puberty and become a Pokéwoman. Another thing for tamers, owners, and tradesmen alike to realize is the simple fact that the Ishtar have been known to commonly give birth to twins more often than single babies. Research is ongoing as to why this happens, though nothing conclusive has been discovered yet.
