Buizel(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Water type Pokémon that evolves into Floatzel starting at level 26.
Physiology & Behavior[]
Buizel is an orange Pokémon resembling a weasel and a sea otter. It has a yellow collar around its neck and two blue fins on its arms. Buizel has a cream-colored spot above each eye and two black parallel marks on its cheeks. The underside of its face and stomach are also cream-colored, as are the tips of its two tails. A male Buizel has two cream-colored spots on their back, while a female has only one.
Buizel's yellow collar is a flotation sac that can be inflated when it inhales. By doing so, Buizel can keep its face above water to watch for prey movement or survey its surroundings. Conversely, it deflates this sac in order to dive. Its tails can spin to act as a propeller, allowing it to swim and slice through obstacles like seaweed. In the anime, it is also able to fly using its spinning tail. Buizel usually lives alongside bodies of water.
Appearances[]
Main games[]
Mystery Dungeon[]
Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Buizel is in charge of underwater explorations at the Expedition Society. He acts a mentor to the player and partner. He is brave but reckless.
Other side games[]
In the anime[]
Buizel officially debuted in Pikachu's Ocean Adventure.
In Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, the Marina Group owns a Buizel. However, it didn't perform with them like the other Water Pokémon, instead being treated more like a pet.
Dawn caught a male Buizel in Buizel Your Way Out Of This!. Eventually, in Throwing the Track Switch, she traded him for Ash Ketchum's Aipom because Buizel turned out to be more interested in Gym battles than Pokémon Contests. Dawn's Aipom later evolved into Ambipom.
In the manga[]
Origin[]
Buizel seems to be based on a weasel, as well as a river otter. Its design also appears to incorporate various flotation devices, such as swim rings and inflatable armbands. Buizel's two tails can rotate like a screw similarly how boats use propellers to move by pushing water.
Buizel and Buoysel may be combinations of buoy and weasel.
