From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Shuppet (Japanese: カゲボウズ Kagebouzu) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves into Banette starting at level 37.
Biology
Shuppet is a spherical Pokémon that appears to be covered by a gray cloth. Black rings surround its multicolored eyes, which have light blue sclera, dark blue irises, and yellow pupils. Extending from the top of its head is a long, pointed horn. The horn collects the negative emotions of people, on which this Pokémon feeds. The emotions it feeds on include anger, jealousy, and envy. A nocturnal Pokémon, it will appear in swarms beneath the eaves of houses with negative people. It is most commonly found in cities and other urban settings.

Major appearances
Shuppet first appeared in Take This House and Shuppet. Max got lost in an abandoned mansion and made friends with a Shuppet that was living there. Max allowed Shuppet to pull pranks to scare the others because he was angry with May.
Shuppet was living in an abandoned mine with several other Ghost-type Pokémon in Fear Factor Phony. They could not stand the partying Psychic-type Pokémon in the nearby town, so they created a Haunter-like illusion to scare them away.
A Shuppet appeared in PK15.
Shuppet appeared under the ownership of Grings Kodai in Zoroark: Master of Illusions, in which it helped its Trainer locate the Time Ripple by using Foresight.
Minor appearances
