Thwackey (Japanese: バチンキー Bachinkey) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
It evolves from Grookey starting at level 16 and evolves into Rillaboom starting at level 35.
Biology
Thwackey is a bipedal, humanoid monkey Pokémon with a light-green body, and a lighter green for its face mask and chest marking. Its ears, arms, and tail are dark brown, and its two large eyes are yellow in color. It has dark green bands around its wrists, and a stick holding up a tuft of leaves resembling hair on its head. When it removes the sticks, the leaves resemble a mohawk, with a dark-green color on the ends. It has several sharp teeth.
Thwackey can use its two sticks to compose a rhythmic beat. The faster a rhythm Thwackey composes, the more respect it earns from its peers. Often, when it drums out rapid beats in battle, Thwackey will get so caught up in the rhythm that it does not realize its opponent has been knocked out. To further develop its sense of rhythm, it constantly uses it in daily life. It can always feel a beat, and it walks while swaying back and forth to this beat, along with drumming with its sticks.[1]

Trivia
Origin
Thwackey's appearance may be based on monkeys such as macaques and pygmy marmosets, as well as common depictions of cavemen. Its behavior may reference both the fact that macaques drum objects to show social dominance and that songs are used during exercising battles of many indigenous cultures to embolden warriors and evoke ferocity. Its tools resemble clubs, drumsticks, and hair sticks.
Name origin
Thwackey may be a combination of thwack and monkey.
Bachinkey may be a combination of バチン bachin (whack) and monkey.
