Quagsire (Japanese: ヌオー Nuoh) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Wooper starting at level 20.
Biology
Physiology
Quagsire is a light-blue bipedal, amphibious Pokémon. Its head is broad and round, having little of a neck to distinguish it from the rest of Quagsire’s body. Quagsire’s mouth is wide and its eyes are mere dots, giving it a look of simplicity. Quagsire has a wavy purple coloration on its back and a dark-blue “fin” there that extends to its tail. Quagsire’s arms have three fingers, and its legs have three toes.
Gender differences
The "fin" running down a female Quagsire's back is smaller than that of a male.
Special abilities
Despite being a Water-type Pokémon, Quagsire's Ground element allows it to harmlessly shrug off Electric attacks. Quagsire has a high pain threshold, allowing it to frequently bump its head while swimming without any adverse effects. It also has the ability to go long periods of time without food, affording it the luxury of waiting for its prey to come to it.
Behavior
Quagsire are quite care-free and relaxed, and so typically swim without paying much attention to their surroundings. Because of this, they tend to bump into boat hulls. Once a year, when the moon is full, wild Quagsire collect round objects like balls and swim to Blue Moon Falls, where they attempt to shoot the balls to the top of a waterfall with their Water Gun attacks to see who can launch their objects the highest, with the apparent target being the moon. The day after, the objects float downstream and are considered to be blessed with luck from the Quagsire.
Habitat
Quagsire live in extremely clean bodies of freshwater. The presence of Quagsire in water is usually an excellent indicator that the water is very safe for consumption.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Quagsire hunts for food by leaving its mouth wide open in water and waiting for its prey to blunder in unaware. Because Quagsire does not move, it does not get very hungry.

Quagsire first appeared in
Once in a Blue Moon. It stole the

Jackson uses a Quagsire in his battle against Macey in Tie One On.
A Quagsire has also appeared in Training Wrecks, under the ownership of Rocky. Quagsire battled Ash's Pikachu and Grovyle, alongside a Walrein. Before Pikachu could nail Walrein with its Electric Attacks, Quagsire would protect Walrein from being shocked, due to its immunity to Electricity while Walrein's Ice Ball hit Grovyle and Pikachu hard, but after the Ice Ball went slower every turn, Pikachu and Grovyle defeated Walrein and Quagsire.
A Quagsire made an appearance in Like It Or Lup It!.
Several Wooper and a Quagsire made an appearance in The Rise of Darkrai.

Trivia
- Quagsire's Crystal Pokédex entry states that it doesn't care if it bumps its head, but its phrases in Mystery Dungeon state it saying it will try not to bump its head.
Origin
Quagsire appears to be based on an adult axolotl, a species of salamander. Normally, wild axolotl have flat tails and feathery, external gills - like Wooper. However, under the care of humans, they can mature into amphibians more closely resembling other species of salamander.
Name origin
Quagsire's name is a combination of quagmire, and sire. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 沼 numa, swamp, marsh, pond, or lake, and 王 ō, king, or オオサンショウウオ ōsanshōuo, Japanese giant salamander.
In other languages
- German: Morlord - Might be from Moor (bog) and lord.
- French: Maraiste - From marais (swamp) and reste (stay).
- Korean: 누오 Nuo - Lay down.
