Watchog (Japanese: ミルホッグ Miruhog) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Patrat starting at level 20.
Biology
Physiology
Watchog is an upright, meerkat-like Pokémon with large cheeks and a single, pointed incisor sticking out of its mouth. It is mainly a shade of reddish brown, with its cheeks and neck beige, and a pattern of yellow striping on its chest and tail, with the striping on its chest resembling a vest. Its hands, feet and tail tip are white-colored. Its eyes have an unusual pattern surrounding a small black pupil, with two red ring-like stripes separated by a third, yellow stripe. Black markings accentuate the eyes at their outer ends.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Its cheeks can hold a large amounts of seeds, which it collects. Watchog possess night vision and can view its surroundings in the darkness. If that fails, then some Watchog can light up their stripes to see their surroundings.
Behavior
It collects, and attacks, with the seeds it collects in its cheek sacks. When it spots an enemy it stands with its tail erect and will intimidate enemies by shining its body patterns at them.
Habitat
They usually live in forests or on treetops.

Trivia
- Watchog is the only Pokémon to have the same EV yield as its pre-evolution, and the only evolved Pokémon to only give a single EV, giving 1 EV in Attack.
- Although its Pokédex entry states that Watchog can spit seeds from the fruit in its cheek pouches, it cannot learn Bullet Seed.
- Watchog is the only evolved Pokémon with a catch rate of 255.
Origin
Watchog is based on a groundhog and possibly a meerkat. Its design is based on a road worker, with the body resembling a protective suit and the yellow stripes forming a safety vest.
Name origin
Watchog is a combination of watch and groundhog. It may also be a play on watchdog, a dog used to guard.
Miruhog may be a combination of 見る miru (to observe) or meerkat and groundhog.
