(Japanese: メグロコ Meguroco) is a dual-type Ground/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Warubiru starting at level 29, which then evolves into Warubiaru starting at level 40.

Biology

Physiology

Meguroco is a primarily tan-colored, quadruped crocodilian Pokémon, having a long snout as typical of crocodilians, and a thick black stripe on the bridge. Meguroco's eyes are round and sepia-colored, with a circular pattern of black around them stretching between each eye, giving the impression of an archetypal robber’s mask or a pair of glasses, with the ridges surrounding the eyes being large and protruding. Two thick black stripes are present down Meguroco's back, stretching to its pink-colored underside and encompassing its tan-colored limbs, which sport three claws each that are also black; additionally, its tapered tail is tipped with the color.
