Shuppet (Japanese: カゲボウズ Kagebouzu) is a Ghost-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Banette starting at level 37.

Biology

Shuppet is a spherical Pokémon that appears to be covered by a gray cloth. Black rings surround its multicolored eyes, which have light blue sclera, dark blue irises, and yellow pupils. Extending from the top of its head is a long, pointed horn. The horn collects the negative emotions of people, on which this Pokémon feeds. The emotions it feeds on include anger, jealousy, and envy. A nocturnal Pokémon, it will appear in swarms beneath the eaves of houses with negative people. It is most commonly found in cities and other urban settings.

Trivia

• Shuppet can be seen as a parallel to Duskull. Both are Generation III Ghost-type Pokémon. Both evolve into their evolved forms starting at level 37. Both also have the same base stat total.

Origin

It appears to be a てるてる坊主 teru teru bōzu, a Japanese paper doll resembling a ghost. It also resembles a hand puppet. It also appears similar to common depictions of ghosts, specifically those that resemble floating cloths with faces.

Name origin

Shuppet may be a combination of shadow and puppet.

Kagebouzu is a combination of 影 kage (shadow) and てるてる坊主 teru teru bōzu (paper dolls with a shape similar to Shuppet).
