Plusle (Japanese: プラスル Prasle) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, it does seem to be related to Minun.

Biology

Plusle is cream-colored bipedal Pokémon with red markings. It has a dot-like nose, and a cream-colored plus sign in the middle of its circular red cheeks. It has long, flat ears that are mostly red. Its limbs are stubby and digitless, and it has red front paws. Its short tail is tipped with a red plus sign.

Plusle can create sparkly pom-poms by shorting out the electrical current in its palms. It uses these pom-poms to cheer on its teammates, and will cry loudly if they lose. It climbs telephone poles to absorb electricity. It lives in grasslands and savannas.

Trivia

  • Plusle shares its category with its partner Minun. They are both known as the Cheering Pokémon.
  • Plusle and Minun have the same base stat total and the same base stats, although the stat distribution is different with Plusle being more offense-oriented and Minun being more defense-oriented.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there are several files for unused playable characters. One of these files is named "Pra_Mai", leading some players to speculate that Plusle and Minun were considered to appear as a tag team, like Ice Climbers.

Origin

Plusle seems to be based on a cheerleading mouse, chipmunk, or rabbit. It could also be an incarnation of a positive electric charge.

Name origin

Plusle and Prasle are derived from プラス purasu, meaning plus, as in something with a positive electrical charge. A partial anagram of pulse may also be present in its name.
