Floatzel (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Floatzel has a yellow flotation sac, which seems to behave similar to rubber. The flotation sac goes in a kind of ring behind its head, down in front of its arms, then back behind its rear above the tails. Floatzel's sac developed as a result of chasing prey in the water. To help it dive, Floatzel can deflate its flotation sac, and then inflate it once again when it wishes to surface. Floatzel's sac allows it to not drown, even in stormy seas. Along with hunting for food, Floatzel can use its swimming capabilities to assist in the rescues of drowning people, by carrying them like a raft. It is often seen near fishing hamlets.

==In the anime==

===Main series===

====Major appearances====

Floatzel debuted in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', where [[Kellyn]] used his [[Capture Styler]] on it so he could use it to escape from a group of {{p|Sharpedo}} that belonged to [[J's henchmen]].

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', {{si|Kenny}} used a male Floatzel in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] along with {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}. Their [[Double Performance]] was going well until Empoleon's {{m|Flash Cannon}} sent Floatzel flying backwards. In ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', he and Kenny were given advice by [[Jasmine]] before being targeted by {{TRT}}.

A Trainer's Floatzel appeared in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''.
