Dunsparce(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Normal-type Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver. It gained a new evolution called Dudunsparce in the ninth generation, which will happen after learning Hyper Drill.

Physiology and Behavior[]

Dunsparce is a serpentine, and somewhat insectoid, Pokémon with a primarily yellow body, blue underside, and blue-and-cream-striped back. Its head is round with a wide mouth extending under its jowls and curving up toward the middle of its face. Its chin is blue with two rounded prongs. Its eyes—round and rimmed with blue—are kept closed, revealing its cream-colored eyelids. On Dunsparce's upper back are two tiny white wings. Its body ends in a drill-like tail.

Dunsparce can float slightly with its wings, which some scientists believe were used to fly in the sky during ancient times. However, it avoids detection and flees when spotted by burrowing into the ground with its tail. It lives immobile in caves and beneath the earth, where it makes maze-like nests. They get along with Diglett and share tunnels with each other. Dunsparce can navigate through its nests without getting lost by the smell of the dirt.

Dunsparce is based on the Tsuchinoko, a snake-like cryptid rumored to be living in the Western part of Japan.
