Buizel (Japanese: ブイゼル Buoysel) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves into Floatzel starting at level 26.
Biology
Buizel flying using its tail in
Mounting a Coordinator Assault
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.
In the anime
Major appearances
