(Japanese: ズルッグ Zuruggu) is a dual-type Dark/Fighting Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Zuruzukin starting at level 39.

Biology

Physiology

Zuruggu is a bipedal lizard-like Pokémon. Its oval-shaped eyes are set to the sides of its head, and its teeth are like that of Glalie. It sports a small red scale on its yellow head. Below the yellow portion of its head, its body is cream-colored, with thin arms and a red, scaled belly. It carries around its yellow, molted skin around its legs, making them resemble pants, although some of the skin seems to trail off to form or cover a tail.

Gender differences

None.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon have the same type combination as Zuruggu and its evolved form.

Origin

In addition to being based on a lizard, with its moulted skin "pants", Zuruggu seem to encapsulate stereotypes of youth subcultures of the past several decades, namely Template:Hip hop fashion.

Name origin

Zuruggu's name may come from zuruzuru the act or sound of dragging. It could also mean loose, both meanings referring to its baggy "pants".
