Cubchoo (Japanese: クマシュン Kumasyun) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Beartic at level 37.

Biology

Physiology

Cubchoo is an ursine Pokémon with a light blue head and neck. It has a slightly pointed head, with large round ears, shiny, dark, oval-shaped eyes, and a darker-blue muzzle. Cubchoo has a shiny dark nose, from which a considerable amount of light blue nasal mucus, the source of its attacks, droops. The lower part of its body is white, with rounded forepaws, digit-less feet with black paw-pads, and a small round tail.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

A Cubchoo's nose is constantly running. It inhales the mucus and uses it in its attacks. If it is in bad health, the mucus becomes watery, which powers down its Template:Type2 techniques.

Trivia

• Cubchoo is the only Generation V Pokémon that can have the ability Rattled.

Origin

Cubchoo is based on a polar bear cub. The mucus it possesses was probably inspired by the fact that cold weather often results in a runny nose.

Name origin

Cubchoo is derived from cub and ah-choo, the sound of a sneeze.

Kuma is derived from くま kuma, or bear. Syun may come from くしゅん kushun, the sound of a sneeze, in reference to its runny nose.
