Wooloo (Japanese: ウールー Wooluu) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves into Dubwool starting at level 24.

Biology

Wooloo is a black ovine Pokémon with a thick coat of white wool that makes it look spherical. Its small head pokes out of the front of the wool, along with two short horns. Wooloo's eyes have yellow sclerae, black irises, and white, horizontal pupils. Two large ears are visible behind gray strings of wool that resemble braided pigtails. Wooloo's wool covers its entire body and most of its short hooved legs, along with a tail that is barely visible on its rear end.

Wooloo's fleece is extremely fluffy and can serve as a cushion, allowing it to survive even a fall from a cliff without any injuries. Its fur grows continuously, being able to fully grow back in just three months after it is completely shaved. The fur is a specialty product in Galar, being used for clothing and carpets; the clothing made from Wooloo's wool has a remarkable strength. If Wooloo's fur grows too long, it will be unable to move. Wooloo live in herds and are known to mimic the actions of their herd leader or Trainer. They have a friendly disposition and dislike conflict, and can escape from enemies by simply rolling away. Yamper is used to herd Wooloo.

Trivia

Icon of Daily Discovery

• The company logo for Daily Discovery depicts a silhouette of a lock of hair from Wooloo.

Origin

Wooloo is based on a sheep, perhaps specifically black-faced breeds of domestic sheep like the Valais Blacknose. The shape of its wool resembles a cotton ball.

In an interview, Pokémon Sword and Shield director Shigeru Ohmori noted that a challenge in designing Wooloo was to ensure its design did not end up being too similar to Mareep, another Pokémon inspired by sheep.

Name origin

Wooloo may be a combination of wool and loom. It may also be derived from the Japanese name.

Wooluu may be derived from ウール ūru (wool) with the final vowel elongated.
