Clobbopus (Japanese: タタッコ Tatakko) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves into Grapploct when leveled up while knowing Taunt.

Biology

Clobbopus is a small, off-white cephalopod Pokémon. It has small, blue eyes with horizontal slit-shaped pupils, and an orange mask-shaped pattern around them. It has a rather large head with four orange spots on its forehead, and small, orange "ears" or siphon ports on each side. It has six small tentacles that it uses to get around, and two large tentacles that act as arms. These large tentacles have large indigo bumps on each end, resembling boxing gloves. Clobbopus has orange suction cups on its tentacles. Its underside is indigo and contains its mouth, which is circular in shape and has two sharp beak-like protrusions.

Clobbopus has easily-torn off tentacles, which allow it to escape from predators; these tentacles can be regrown later. It has the intelligence of a three-year-old human. It is a very curious creature and often investigates things through punching them with its tentacles.

Trivia

• Clobbopus is the lightest Fighting-type Pokémon.
• Clobbopus and its evolution are the only Pokémon that are in the Water 1 and Human-Like Egg Groups.

Origin

Clobbopus appears to be based on an octopus and a boxer. The orange markings on its head resemble the patterns on wrestling masks.

Name origin

Clobbopus may be a combination of clobber and octopus.

Tatakko may be a combination of 叩く tataku (to strike), 戦い tatakai (fight, battle), attack, 蛸 tako (octopus), and possibly 子 ko (child, referring to its childish mentality). It could also be a pun on 駄々っ子 dadakko (spoiled child), which is the name of its category in Japanese.
