Obstagoon is a Normal and Dark type Pokémon that was introduced in the eighth generation. It is native to Galar and evolve from a Linoone that adapted to live in the Galar region. It is the final form of Galarian Zigzagoon.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Obstagoon is a black-and-white, bipedal Pokémon. Its head sits forward of its body on a long, thick neck; it has a pointed snout like a badger, with its long tongue that frequently hangs out of its mouth. It has a thicker coat of gray fur around its forearms and lower legs, as well as around its back, and most of its chest like a vest.
It is said that Obstagoon's evolution is the result of the Galarian Linoone's survival instinct being honed from competition and harsh conditions of the Galar region. While combative to the extreme, it doesn't attack often as it prefers taunting an opponent into attacking first. When that happens, it will take a threatening pose posture by crossing its arms and then releasing a staggering voice, so loud and obnoxious that would cause any opponent to flinch. This is known as its signature move Obstruct. By using the move, it skillfully throws opponents off guard before countering with its sharp claws. Obstagoon are known to duel against Pangoro.
Appearances[]
Obstagoon is featured in Project Voltage.
