Snubbull (Japanese: ブルー Bulu) is a Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation VI, it was a Normal-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Granbull starting at level 23.
Biology
Snubbull is a pink, bipedal, bulldog-like Pokémon with blue polka dots covering its body. It has loose skin that drapes to cover the lower part of its body, giving it the appearance of a dress. There is a small, blue ruff around its neck. It has a pronounced underbite, but it still has powerful jaws. Additionally, it has two earflaps that are flat, curved, and tipped with black, and a small, shiny black nose. Its feet are beige with three toes and a circular pink paw pad, while its arms are short and stubby.
Snubbull, as seen in the anime, possesses the ability to use their keen sense of smell to track things down. Despite this Pokémon's fierce-looking face, it is very playful and affectionate making it a popular companion among women. According to The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide, it is also very devoted and loyal. It is not aggressive and tends to prefer to scare away its opponent rather than fight. However, it is saddened that others run from its frightening appearance. Snubbull wanders around urban areas.

Trivia
Origin
Snubbull is based on a bulldog. Its category and type may reference the Cù-sìth, a mythological creature in Celtic mythology whose name literally translates to "dog fairy". Snubbull's typing as of Generation VI and appearance also give it the resemblance of a goblin.
Name origin
Snubbull may be a combination of snub (a feeling of disdain, or a flattened nose) and bulldog. It may also be a play on snuggle.
Bulu is a shortening of bulldog.
