Gulpin (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Gulpin is a round, green, amorphous {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a black diamond marking on its back and a yellow feather-like adornment on its head. A female has a shorter feather than a male. Its face consists of puckered lips and slanted eyes that are usually closed. It has two stubby appendages that are the same shape as its lips. It swallows anything of its own size whole since its stomach comprises most of its body. Its heart and brain are very small in comparison to its stomach. The unique stomach acid it has allows it to digest almost anything. When it is digesting, vile, overpowering gases are expelled. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}.

==Trivia==

* Gulpin is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 302.

* Gulpin can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Baltoy}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Gulpin is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, while Baltoy is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold|s}}, with both Pokémon found in a [[mass outbreak]] in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be snagged as Shadow Pokémon in {{Pokémon XD}} at the [[Cipher Lab]], with both Pokémon having the same [[Shadow move]], {{m|Shadow Blitz}}.
