Exploud (Japanese: バクオング Bakuong) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Loudred starting at level 40. It is the final form of Whismur.

Biology

Physiology

Exploud is a large blue creature whose most obvious feature is its huge mouth, which sports two hippopotamus-like teeth on each jaw. It also has extruding tubes with holes along its body: seven along its head-crest, four on its elbows and knees, two along its back and two on the end of its two tails. These holes serve a dual-purpose: They can suck in air to increase Exploud's noise based attacks and they can make noise themselves. The holes along its head-crest and tails are tipped with yellow, and the holes along it back have yellow semicircular patterns at the sides. Exploud’s red eyes also add to its look of intimidation. There is also a half-circle on its belly, which is rarely seen because of its giant mouth. Its arms have three thin stripes below its elbow and three fingers. Exploud’s feet have four claws, three in front and one in back, and a yellow paw pad on its underside.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Exploud can be an extremely loud Pokémon, capable of triggering earthquakes with the tremors made by raising its voice. Its loud cries can even be heard from six miles away. However, it only raises its voice when in battle. Otherwise, it produces a variety of flute-like noises to communicate with others.

Behavior

It uses sound from the sound-generating organs over its body to communicate its feelings, adjusting the tone and volume to produce the variety of whistle-like cries it emits. It only uses its voice for battle since it is too loud to use in normal situations. In the cases that it does, an Exploud violently inhales from the points on its body before it looses a bellow.

Habitat

Diet

In the anime

Guy's Loudred evolved into Exploud in Exploud and Clear. After it evolved, it disobeyed its trainer, in a similar fashion as Ash's Charizard. It left Guy (knocking him to the side in the process). Later in the episode, Team Rocket tried to kidnap the Exploud and Guy tried to stop them from capturing it. When the Exploud saw what Guy was doing for it, the Exploud began to listen to him once again.

In, Barry's Busting Out All Over!, Dawn remembered that Barry sang a duet with an Exploud at Twinleaf Town's town festival.

Trivia

• Despite the Pokédex stating that it can create earthquakes with its bellows, it can't learn the move Earthquake without a TM.
• In Generation 4 the pipes on Exploud's head seem to bee closer together then in Generation 3.

Origin

Exploud is based on a boombox, a portable music system that can play music at a relatively high volume. It also shares some features with the hippopotamus. The tubes on its body seem to be based on a pipe organ, a musical instrument known for its loud volume.

Name origin

Exploud's name is a combination of explode and loud.

Bakuong may be a combination of the Japanese word for explosion, bakuha, and 音楽 ongaku, music. It might also involve back, referring to the openings on Exploud's back which allow it to create loud bellowings.

In other languages

• German: Krawumms
• French: Brouhabam - From brouhaha (uproar), and the onomatopoeia bam (the sound of a slam).
• Korean: 폭음룡 Pok'eumryong
