Drowzee (Japanese: スリープ Sleepe) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Hypno starting at level 26.

Biology

Drowzee is a bipedal Pokémon that resembles a tapir. It has tired-looking eyes, a short trunk above its mouth, and triangular ears with brown interiors. The upper half of Drowzee's body is yellow and the lower half is brown. A wavy line separates the two halves. It has a round belly and short legs. Its feet are brown, except for its two toes, which are yellow. The bottom of each foot has a small, round, pink pad in the middle of it. There are three fingers on each of its hands. Drowzee is believed to have a common ancestor with Munna and Musharna.

Drowzee is able to put people to sleep and can then sense the person's dreams. This is so it knows what kind of dream it would be eating. It has certain preferences for the dreams it eats, and it is known to love fun dreams and become ill from bad dreams. It will rarely eat the dreams of adults, as the dreams of children are seemingly tastier. Drowzee remembers every dream it has eaten and may show past meals to a person it trusts. It eats dreams through the victim's nose, so it is said that Drowzee is standing over a person's pillow if their nose itches while they are asleep. Drowzee lives in grasslands and savannas.

Evolution

Drowzee evolves into Hypno.

Sun A Pokémon that nourishes itself by eating dreams, it is thought to share common ancestry with Munna and Musharna.
Moon It finds really fun dreams tasty. When it makes friends with people, it may show them the most delicious dreams it's ever eaten.
Ultra Sun It can be spotted near recreational facilities, intending to eat the pleasant dreams of children who enjoyed themselves there that day.
Ultra Moon It puts its prey to sleep and devours their dreams. It seems that bad dreams taste sour, so Drowzee doesn't particularly like eating them.

Trivia

Origin

Drowzee is based on the Japanese myth of the baku, creatures who eat bad dreams of sleeping people. Originally, they were composite animals, but later became tapirs — pig-like animals with small trunks from South America and South Asia. Drowzee's dual coloring makes it especially similar to the Malayan tapir.

Name origin

Drowzee may be a combination of drowsy and zzz (onomatopoeia for snoring).

Sleepe may be derived from sleep.
