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, 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.

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 then, he realized he didn't bring any Poké Balls with him, 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 JN032.

Trivia

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Dunsparce appears to be based on the snake-like Tsuchinoko cryptid of Japan; it appears to be a visual pun on bachi hebi (bee snake), as the creature is known in some regions, combining bee- and snake-like features. It may also have connections to Quetzalcoatl, Amphipteres, or flying snakes.

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 may reference blind cave-dwelling animals or perhaps 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 (dark; gloomy, referring to its preferred habitat) or dunce and sparse (referring to its rarity).

Nokocchi may be an anagram of ツチノコ Tsuchinoko, a fabled snake-like creature.
