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

It evolves into Dudunsparce when leveled up while knowing Hyper Drill.

Dunsparce will evolve into one of two forms of Dudunsparce, Two-Segment Form or Three-Segment Form, with a 1/100 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce.

(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

Dunsparce is a serpentine, and somewhat insectoid, 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 tiny white wings. Its body ends in a drill-like tail.

Dunsparce can float slightly with its wings, which some scientists believe were used to fly in the sky during ancient times. However, it avoids detection and flees when spotted by burrowing into the ground with its tail. It lives immobile in caves and beneath the earth, where it makes maze-like nests. They get along with Diglett and share tunnels with each other. Dunsparce can navigate through its nests without getting lost by the smell of the dirt.

Dunsparce and its evolved form, Dudunsparce, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Hyper Drill.

Evolution data

The form of Dudunsparce that Dunsparce evolves into is determined based on its encryption constant, with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for wild Dudunsparce (including those encountered in Tera Raid Battles), as these will always be in Two-Segment Form regardless of their encryption constant value.^[1]

Since Natures were determined via personality value prior to Generation V (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to Generation VI), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce with the Ability Serene Grace that is transferred from Generation III or IV to Generation IX will have a 50% chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce from the same generations with other Natures or the Ability Run Away will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form (unless a Dunsparce with Run Away came from Colosseum)

Major appearances

Dunsparce debuted in The Dunsparce Deception, where an entire town was full of children owning Dunsparce. Bucky was the only child without a Dunsparce and asked Ash and his friends for assistance. In the end, he was able to catch one.

In The Path That Leads to Goodbye!, Ash tried to catch a Dunsparce, but Iris's Axew bumped into Ash's Pikachu, which led to Dunsparce escaping.

In Under the Pledging Tree!, Ash wanted to catch another Dunsparce, but was unable to, as he didn't have any Poké Balls on hand at that moment, thus letting Dunsparce get away again.

Minor appearances

A Dunsparce appeared in The Legend of Thunder!.

In Following a Maiden's Voyage!, a Dunsparce was trapped in an Ariados's web.

In Team Shocker!, a Coordinator's Dunsparce competed in the Performance Stage of the Solaceon Contest.

A Dunsparce appeared in a flashback in Time After Time!.

A Trainer's Dunsparce appeared during a flashback in Flying Pikachu, Rising Higher and Higher!.

Trivia

In the anime, Dunsparce is usually shown to be much shorter than 4'11" (1.5 m), which is its listed height (or in this case, length) in the games.
- It is also shown as much smaller than its listed height in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, being even smaller than Pikachu.
Dunsparce was designed by Hironobu Yoshida.^[2]

Origin

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

On the Origin of Species: Dunsparce

Dunsparce appears to be based on the snake-like Tsuchinoko cryptid of Japan. Visually, its design may be a pun on one of the cryptid's other names, バチヘビ bachi hebi (bee snake), as Dunsparce appears to combine bee- and snake-like features. It may draw specific inspiration from digger bees. Dunsparce may also have connections to Amphipteres, such as Quetzalcoatl, or flying snakes. Its tail appears to be based on a drill, because it can use to dig itself underground. Visually (but not functionally) its drill resembles a rattlesnake's rattle, although this is probably a coincidence.

Given its larviform appearance, horn-like tail, and ring-circled eyes that resemble the eyespots of some species, Dunsparce may draw inspiration from sphinx moth caterpillars, which have a history of being mistaken for the Tsuchinoko. Its closed eyes likely reference the ocular vestigiality demonstrated by many subterranean animals, though they may also nod to the Nozuchi, a creature thought to be synonymous with the Tsuchinoko that is sometimes depicted as a giant, eyeless caterpillar.

Name origin

Dunsparce may be a combination of dun (subadult mayfly; or dark/gloomy, referring to its preferred habitat) and sparse.

Nokocchi may be derived from an anagram of ツチノコ, the katakana spelling of 槌の子 tsuchinoko (a fabled snake-like creature).

+|friendship=70
+}}
+'''Dunsparce''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノコッチ''' ''Nokocchi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
-It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
+It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dudunsparce}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Hyper Drill}}.
-==Biology==
+Dunsparce will evolve into one of two {{fd|Dudunsparce|forms}} of Dudunsparce, '''Two-Segment Form''' or '''Three-Segment Form''', with a 1/100 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce.
-===Physiology===
-Dunsparce are pale yellow, serpentine Pokémon with two small, white-colored wings which are capable of lifting the Pokémon a few inches off the ground. They also possess a drill on the end of their tail for digging which resembles a rattlesnake's rattle. Besides their main pale yellow coloration, they have accentuations of blue, such as the ring patterning encircling their eyes, the thick stripes on the pattern on its back, and its underside, and beige, such as its eyelids and back. Dunsparce’s eyes seemed perpetually closed and goggle-like in appearance, somewhat like {{p|Baltoy}}’s, and there are pointed prongs on the underside of its chin.
-====Gender differences====
-None.
-====Special abilities====
+(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for more details.)
-At first glance, these Pokémon appear plain. However, Dunsparce make themselves quite elusive, and they may even have luck in their favor (in the form of {{a|Serene Grace}}).
-They also are able to dig extremely well and fly a little using their small wings.
+==Biology==
+Dunsparce is a {{wp|snake|serpentine}}, and somewhat {{wp|insect|insectoid}}, {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 tiny white wings. Its body ends in a drill-like tail.
-Under rare occasions, Dunsparce can wield the rare move {{m|Trump Card}}, but only by breeding.
+Dunsparce can float slightly with its wings, which some scientists believe were used to fly in the sky during ancient times. However, it avoids detection and flees when spotted by burrowing into the ground with its tail. It lives immobile in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} and beneath the earth, where it makes maze-like nests. They get along with {{p|Diglett}} and share tunnels with each other. Dunsparce can navigate through its nests without getting lost by the smell of the dirt.
-===Behavior===
+Dunsparce and its evolved form, {{p|Dudunsparce}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Hyper Drill}}.
-Dunsparce are extremely shy of human beings and rarely ever make themselves known. However, they are known to [[Swarms|swarm]] on random occasions.
-===Habitat===
+===Evolution===
-[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
+Dunsparce evolves into {{p|Dudunsparce}}.
-Dunsparce prefer to live in caves, forests, and large wide open spaces.
-===Diet===

-===Evolution===
+===Evolution data===
-{{evobox
+The form of {{p|Dudunsparce}} that Dunsparce [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Dudunsparce's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Dudunsparce (including those encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s), as these will always be in Two-Segment Form regardless of their encryption constant value.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596550660241039360 Encounter rates for Three-Segment Dudunsparce by Anubis/Sibuna_Switch on Twitter]</ref>
-|sprite1=206
+Since [[Nature]]s were determined via [[personality value]] prior to [[Generation V]] (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to [[Generation VI]]), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce with the [[Ability]] {{a|Serene Grace}} that is [[transfer]]red from Generation {{gen|III}} or {{gen|IV}} to [[Generation IX]] will have a 50% chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce from the same [[generation]]s with other Natures or the Ability {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form (unless a Dunsparce with Run Away came from {{pkmn|Colosseum}})

+===Major appearances===
+Dunsparce debuted in ''[[EP191|The Dunsparce Deception]]'', where an entire town was full of children owning Dunsparce. [[Bucky]] was the only child without a Dunsparce and asked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for assistance. In the end, he was able to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} one.
+In ''[[BW131|The Path That Leads to Goodbye!]]'', Ash tried to catch a Dunsparce, but [[Iris's Axew]] bumped into [[Ash's Pikachu]], which led to Dunsparce escaping.
+In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', Ash wanted to catch another Dunsparce, but was unable to, as he didn't have any [[Poké Ball]]s on hand at that moment, thus letting Dunsparce get away again.
+===Minor appearances===
+A Dunsparce appeared in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.
+In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', a Dunsparce was trapped in an {{p|Ariados}}'s web.
+In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Dunsparce competed in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{to|Solaceon}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

 ==Trivia==
-* Dunsparce learns many moves usually assigned to a specific type: it's the only non-{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Roost}} by level up, the only non-{{type2|Poison}} to learn {{m|Glare}}, the only non-{{type2|Ghost}} to learn {{m|Spite}} by level up, and the only non-{{type2|Ground}} to learn {{m|Dig}} by level up.
+* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dunsparce is usually shown to be much shorter than 4'11" (1.5 m), which is its listed height (or in this case, length) in the {{pkmn|games}}.
-* Though several of Dunsparce's Pokédex entries mention it burrowing into the ground using its tail, it could not learn Dig by leveling up until Generation IV.
+** It is also shown as much smaller than its listed height in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] and [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], being even smaller than {{p|Pikachu}}.
-* Dunsparce is one of three Pokémon that can be found through HM means other than {{m|Surf}}. This only applies to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and with the move {{m|Rock Smash}}. The other are {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Shuckle}} (which is available only in {{G|Emerald}}) in Generation III using the same move.
+* Dunsparce was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20080704081535/http://www.gpara.com/contents/creator/bn_225.htm Drill Dozer interview by Gpara] (Japanese)</ref>
-* Dunsparce in the anime is usually depicted as small, most of the time not any bigger than up to someone's ankle, while in the games it is almost 5 feet tall.
-** Its height in the games may in fact be its length. The same discrepancy occurs with other long-bodied Pokémon like {{p|Ekans}} or {{p|Dratini}}.
-* {{p|Yanma}}'s prototype name, time before the release of {{g|Gold and Silver}} was thought to be ''Dusparce''.
 ===Origin===
-Dunsparce is based on the mythical {{wp|tsuchinoko}}. Similar to Bigfoot or the Chupacabra, sightings and reports appear in the Japanese media, however hard evidence is always lacking. Tsuchinoko are 30 cm to 80 cm long, with a large head and poisonous fangs. Its body is thicker than its head and tail. The noises it makes resemble squeaks, chirps and snores. Unlike real snakes, which slither from side to side, a tsuchinoko wiggles ahead in a straight line. The tsuchinoko curls its body to leap through the air. Moreover, the fact that Dunsparce, a snake-like creature, has wings also brings to mind the motif of the {{wp|Feathered Serpent}}, a prominent deity or supernatural being in many Mesoamerican religions. In addition, Dunsparce shares some traits with {{wp|bumblebees}}, including their stripes, tiny wings, stinger-like tail, and the fact that they burrow into the ground.
+{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Dunsparce}}
+Dunsparce appears to be based on the snake-like {{wp|Tsuchinoko}} cryptid of Japan. Visually, its design may be a pun on one of the cryptid's other names, バチヘビ ''bachi hebi'' (bee snake), as Dunsparce appears to combine bee- and snake-like features. It may draw specific inspiration from {{wp|Anthophorini|digger bees}}. Dunsparce may also have connections to {{wp|Amphiptere}}s, such as {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, or {{wp|flying snakes}}. Its tail appears to be based on a {{wp|drill}}, because it can use to dig itself underground. Visually (but not functionally) its drill resembles a {{wp|rattlesnake}}'s rattle, although this is probably a coincidence.
+Given its larviform appearance, horn-like tail, and ring-circled eyes that resemble the {{wp|Eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}} of some species, Dunsparce may draw inspiration from {{wp|Sphingidae|sphinx moth caterpillars}}, which have a history of being mistaken for the Tsuchinoko. Its closed eyes likely reference the ocular {{wp|vestigiality}} demonstrated by many subterranean animals, though they may also nod to the Nozuchi, a creature thought to be synonymous with the Tsuchinoko that is sometimes depicted as a giant, eyeless caterpillar.
 ====Name origin====
-"Dun" can mean grayish yellow or gloomy, while "sparse" refers to its rarity. Dunsparce's name may also contain "dunce", meaning a stupid person.
+Dunsparce may be a combination of ''dun'' (subadult mayfly; or dark/gloomy, referring to its preferred habitat) and ''sparse''.
-Nokocchi (ノコッチ) comes from つちのこ ''tsuchinoko'', a fabled snakelike creature. The characters are swapped to become のこっち, and then transliterated into katakana.
+Nokocchi may be derived from an {{wp|anagram}} of ツチノコ, the katakana spelling of 槌の子 ''tsuchinoko'' (a fabled snake-like creature).
