Dunsparce (Japanese: ノコッチ Nokocchi) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Dunsparce is a serpentine Pokémon with a primarily yellow body, blue underside, and blue-and-cream-striped back. Its head is round with a wide mouth extending under its jowls and curving up toward the middle of its face. Its chin is blue with two rounded prongs. Its eyes—round and rimmed with blue—are kept closed, revealing its cream-colored eyelids. On Dunsparce's upper back are two small, white, bird-like wings split into two sections each. Its body ends in a striped, drill-like tail. Though Dunsparce can float slightly with its wings, it avoids detection by burrowing into the ground with its tail. It lives immobile in caves and beneath the earth, where it makes maze-like nests.

Major appearances

Dunsparce made its anime debut in The Dunsparce Deception, where an entire town was full of children with Dunsparce. Bucky was the only child without a Dunsparce and asked Ash and his friends for assistance and in the end was able to catch himself a Dunsparce.

A Dunsparce appeared in The Path That Leads to Goodbye!. Ash tried to catch it, but Iris's Axew bumped into Ash's Pikachu, which led to the Dunsparce escaping.

A Dunsparce appeared in Under the Pledging Tree!. Ash wanted to catch it, but then realized he didn't bring any Poké Balls with him, thus letting the Land Snake Pokémon get away.

Minor appearances

A Dunsparce was seen in the wild in The Legend of Thunder!.

A Dunsparce made a cameo appearance in Following a Maiden's Voyage! in Ariados's web.

A Coordinator's Dunsparce appeared in Team Shocker! participating in the Performance Stage of the Solaceon Contest.

A Dunsparce appeared in Alexa's magazine in The Journalist from Another Region!.

Pokédex entries

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Crystal and her Chikorita captured a wild Dunsparce in A Flaaffy Kerfuffle where it along with a Flaaffy had been stranded on Bill's boat.

Much later, in A Vicious Cycle of Possibilities, Lostelle, who has a Dunsparce, faxed Bill and informs him of Deoxys's rampage and Giovanni's subsequent appearance on Three Island.

In The Final Battle V, during the Trick Master's story of the homeland soil, a Dunsparce appeared in the flashback when it was one of the Pokémon calmed down by it.

Many volumes later, in Well Met, Weepinbell, Roseanne is attacked by a pack of Yanmega controlled by Mars. Diamond told her to take refuge in the hole her Dunsparce dug.
