Quagsire(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver. It evolves from Wooper at level 20.
Physiology and Behaviour[]
Quagsire is a light blue, bipedal, amphibious Pokémon. Its head is broad and round, having little neck to distinguish it from the rest of Quagsire's body. It has a wide mouth and tiny, black eyes. A wavy, purple stripe runs down its back. Along its spine is a dark blue fin, which is larger on the male than on the female. Quagsire's hands and feet both have three digits. Its outer layer of skin is slimy and slippery.
Quagsire is carefree and sluggish by nature. An unintelligent Pokémon, it tends to bump its head inadvertently while swimming and seems not to care. It hunts for food by leaving its mouth wide open in water and waiting for its unaware prey to blunder in. Because Quagsire does not move, it does not get very hungry and can afford to wait for its food. Quagsire lives in clean bodies of freshwater and muddy swamps. During the day, Quagsire avoids sunlight by submerging itself in the water.
In the anime, wild Quagsire are shown to have an annual celebration at Blue Moon Falls when the moon is full. There they attempt to shoot round objects they have collected to the top of a waterfall with their attacks, to see who can launch their objects the highest, with the apparent target being the moon.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity: Quagsire appears as the landlord of Paradise as well as an important character in the storyline. The player's partner buys land from him at the beginning of the game that would become the headquarters for the player's exploration team. He also runs an area similar to the Chimecho Assembly from the previous games. Like some members of Wigglytuff's Guild, he has a catchphrase, which is "hmm". He is also responsible for dealing with captured outlaws, much like Magnezone before him. He is known to be a hard taskmaster to these Pokémon. Quagsire reappears in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon where he is now a resident of Lively Town.

Trivia[]
- On November 11th, 2024, Quagsire was appointed the "Kochi Support Pokémon."
- According to Julien Bardakoff, the French translator of the Generation I and Generation II games, its French name was supposed to be spelled and pronounced Maraisté, with an acute accent on the final "e". However, mainly due to the lack of diacritics on uppercase letters in the French translations up to Generation V, players and the anime got misled and made this "e" a silent letter. As a consequence of this hegemonic usage, it has never been restored despite all diacritics being properly displayed in French for all concerned Pokémon since Pokémon Black and White. The only known instance of a proper pronunciation as intended by Bardakoff is by the commentator in Pokémon Stadium 2.
