Buizel (Japanese: ブイゼル Buoysel) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Buizel possesses mainly mammalian characteristics with orange fur and paws as well as resembling a realistic cross between a weasel and a sea otter. The collar that is around its neck can be inflated and used as a flotation device when the Pokémon inhales. Buizel also carries characteristics of sea creatures, in that it has two blue fins on its arms and two tails, appearing to be split up, that resembles a fish's fin. Its tail acts as a boat propeller by spinning. There are parallel marks on their cheeks quite similar to those of Furret. The male has two round white marks on its back, while the female has only one.

Gender differences

From back view, the males have two white spots and the females only have one.

Special abilities

Buizel can apparently both fly and propel itself through water by spinning their tails like propellers. Buizel can also use its tail for firing SonicBoom and Razor Wind attacks. It is one of the 11 Pokémon that can learn Aqua Jet.

Behavior

In Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea Buizel acted a bit like a dog. It came up and licked Max and messed with the Manaphy Egg like it was a toy.

Habitat

Diet

In the anime

Buizel is one of the Pokémon owned by a family traveling circus performers during the movie, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. It wasn't seen performing with them, however, and was treated more like a pet.

Buizel makes an appearance in Pikachu's Island Adventure as one of the Pokémon who helps to save a playground that Team Rocket's Meowth took over.

A Buizel was seen used in a contest in Mounting a Coordinator Assault.

Dawn caught a male Buizel in Buizel Your Way Out of This. In Throwing the Track Switch, she traded him for Ash's Aipom because Buizel was more interested in Gym battles than Contests and has since participated in the Veilstone Gym Battle (DP068), the Wallace Cup (DP077), and the Pastoria Gym Battle (DP083).

Trivia

• Buizel was one of three Pokémon revealed in March 2006 in promotions for Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, the other two being Mantyke and Chatot.
• Only Buizel and its evolution to have its gender differences only seen on its back sprites.
• Buizel's English name was revealed by Serebii.net on January 27, 2007.

Origin

Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog.

Buizel seems to be based on an otter. The fact that Buizel spins its forked-tail like a propeller is not unlike that of Tails of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and this was, in fact, highlighted in Mounting a Coordinator Assault.

Name origin

Buizel is a corruption of its Japanese name, Buoysel, which is believed to be a combination of buoy and weasel. It may also derive from "bui" the Gaelic word for yellow.

In other languages

• German: Bamelin
• French: Mustébouée - Comes from a combination of Mustelidae, the family that otters and weasels come from and bouée, a childish floater.
• Korean: 브이젤 Beuijel
