'''Wooloo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウールー''' ''Wooluu'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dubwool}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
Wooloo is a sheep-like Pokémon with a thick coat of white wool that makes it look spherical. Its small, black head pokes out of the front of the wool, along with two short horns. Its eyes have yellow sclerae, black irises, and white, horizontal pupils. Two large ears are visible behind gray strings of wool that resemble braided pigtails. Its hoofed legs are short and mostly hidden by the wool, along a with a tail that is barely visible on its rear end.

Wooloo have an extremely fluffy body which can serve as a cushion and help it survive even when falling off a cliff, and stand up without injures. The fur grows back quickly in three months even when shaved. The fur is very popular in [[Galar]], being used for clothing, carpets, very strong cloth, and specialty product. If the fur grows too long, it will be unable to move. Wooloo live in herds mimicking the leader or trainer. They can escape from enemies by simply rolling away due to disliking conflict<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/wooloo/</ref>. {{p|Yamper}} is used to herd the Wooloo.

====Major appearances====

====Minor appearances====

===In Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
A Wooloo appeared in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', under the ownership of [[Hop]]. It was seen playing with its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Wooloo reappeared in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', where it was seen watching TV with its Trainer.

Wooloo appeared prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where it becomes jealous of Hop's admiration of [[Leon]]'s [[Charizard]] and tries to imitate it. Wooloo runs away from home, eventually jumping off a cliff to try and fly like Charizard. It is found by [[Milo]], who sends Wooloo home on a flying taxi, but it jumps out part way when it sees Hop frantically searching for it. Hop promises to Wooloo that they will both challenge the Pokémon League together, and that it is perfect without needing to pretend to be Charizard. Wooloo and Hop take the flying taxi home and fall asleep on the way.
