It evolves into Grapploct when leveled up while knowing Taunt.

Biology

Clobbopus is a small, beige cephalopod Pokémon. It has a rather large head with six orange spots on the top, an orange mask-shaped pattern on the face, and a small, orange siphon on the left side. It has small, blue eyes with horizontal, slit-shaped pupils. Clobbopus has six small tentacles that it uses to get around, and two large tentacles that act as arms. These large tentacles have rounded indigo bumps on each end, resembling boxing gloves; these bulbous shapes allow Clobbopus to hit things with its arm tentacles, although they make gripping difficult. Each of its tentacles are lined with orange suction cups. Clobbopus's underside is indigo and contains its mouth, which is circular in shape and has two sharp beak-like protrusions.

Clobbopus has easily torn tentacles, which allow it to escape from predators; these tentacles can be regrown later. Its intelligence is comparable to that of a three-year-old human. It is a very curious creature and often investigates things by punching them with its tentacles. It normally lives underwater, but is known to surface onto land to search for food.

Evolution

Generation VIII Galar #351 Isle of Armor #129 Crown Tundra #— Sinnoh #— Hisui #— This Pokémon has no Pokédex entries in Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus. Sword It's very curious, but its means of investigating things is to try to punch them with its tentacles. The search for food is what brings it onto land. Shield Its tentacles tear off easily, but it isn't alarmed when that happens—it knows they'll grow back. It's about as smart as a three-year-old.

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. Its Fighting-type and design might be a visual pun with タコ殴り takonaguri (hitting endlessly), an expression that means "octopus beating" if taken literally.

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.
