Biology

Physiology

Exploud is a large blue creature whose most obvious feature is its huge mouth, where its large tongue can be seen. It sports two hippopotamus-like teeth on each jaw. It also has extruding tubes with holes along its body: seven along its head-crest, four on its elbows and knees, two along its back and two on the end of its two tails. These holes serve a dual-purpose: They can suck in air to increase Exploud's noise based attacks and they can make noise themselves. The holes along its head-crest and tails are tipped with yellow, and the holes along it back have yellow semicircular patterns at the sides. Exploud's red eyes also add to its look of intimidation. There is also a half-circle on its belly, which is rarely seen because of its giant mouth. Its arms have three thin stripes below its elbow and three fingers. Exploud’s feet have four claws, three in front and one in back, and a yellow paw pad on its underside.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Exploud can be an extremely loud Pokémon, capable of triggering earthquakes with the tremors made by raising its voice. Its loud cries can even be heard from six miles away. However, it only raises its voice when in battle. Otherwise, it produces a variety of flute-like noises to communicate with others.

Behavior

It uses sound from the sound-generating organs over its body to communicate its feelings, adjusting the tone and volume to produce the variety of whistle-like cries it emits. It only uses its voice for battle since it is too loud to use in normal situations. In the cases that it does, an Exploud violently inhales from the points on its body before it looses a bellow.
