Floatzel (Japanese: フローゼル Flowsel) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Buizel starting at level 26.

Biology

Physiology

Floatzel appears to be based on an otter or weasel, with two pointed blue fins on its arms and two tails, as with its pre-evolution, Buizel. The yellow flotation device it had as a Buizel appears to have grown and now functions as a boat. It gives the impression of a swimmer with a towel draped around its shoulders. If Floatzel laid on its back, the structure round its neck could also be interpreted as a sort of inflatable dinghy using its tails much like its pre-evolution, as a propeller and its fins as oars. The small fins on Buizel's forelimbs have grown into fully-fledged fins that are used for Razor Wind attacks. Its forelimbs and tails are tipped with cream coloration, and there is a teardrop-shaped orange pattern voided in Floatzel’s cream lower belly. Floatzel also has a circular cream spot in the center of its head, cream-colored eyelids and a pattern of two black triangles on the edges of its cream muzzle, unlike Buizel.

Gender differences

Male Floatzel have two white spots on their back, whereas females have only one.

Special abilities

Floatzel's abilities are essentially the same as Buizel's, but stronger. Floatzel can now attack with Crunch and Ice Fang. As a fully evolved Pokémon, it can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact. Its flotation sac can inflate to look like a life vest; in a similar way Buizel can expand its sac, as seen in A Crasher Course in Power!.

Behavior

It floats using its well-developed flotation sac. It assists in the rescues of drowning people.

Habitat

They tend to inhabit swift-moving rivers.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Floatzel may be a fish-eater, but it is unknown whether this is true. Floatzel is occasionally found with the Wacan Berry.

In the anime

Floatzel in the anime.

Floatzel made its debut in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1). Kellyn used his Capture Styler on a wild Floatzel so he could use it to escape from a group of Sharpedo that belonged to Hunter J's Henchmen.

Crasher Wake used a Floatzel against Ash's Buizel in A Crasher Course in Power!.

Conway used a Floatzel in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team.

Another Floatzel appeared in Last Call, First Round!, under the ownership of Kenny.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP083 Floatzel Ash's Pokédex Floatzel, the Sea Weasel Pokémon and the evolved form of Buizel. Its flotation sac developed as an aid for chasing aquatic prey. Floatzel can also carry people on its back.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

In Pokémon Adventures, a Floatzel is first seen acting as the motor jet for Professor Rowan and his assistant (Platinum's father) as they arrived in Canalave City. Later, Crasher Wake has a Floatzel, which he used to battle Platinum's Empoleon, but after a close battle, lost. A few volumes later, under Wake's command, Pearl attempted to catch one himself, but failed to do so and resorted to catching the weaker Buizel.
