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 or slice through obstacles like seaweed, and in the anime, it is able to fly using its spinning tail.
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.
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 a combination of a weasel and river otter. Its name comes from buoyant and weasel.
