'''Dudunsparce''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ノココッチ''' ''Nokokocchi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dunsparce}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

Dudunsparce has two separate [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Two-Segment Form''' and '''Three-Segment Form'''. When Dunsparce evolves, it has a 1/100 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce.

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Inflated Dudunsparce.png|thumb|left|250px|Three-Segment Dudunsparce with an inflated first segment and deflated third segment]]
Dudunsparce is a serpentine Pokémon that looks nearly identical to its pre-evolution, {{p|Dunsparce}}. It has the same yellow body with a blue underside and blue and cream stripes on its back. It sports three "prongs" on its blue chin and its eyes are now partially opened up, revealing its two pupiless white colored scleras. It has a dark blue spiral pattern on the underside of its first body segment, and its tail has a blue "cap" on it.

The most notable change Dudunsparce has compared to its pre-evolution is that its body is longer, having gained segments that are similar to Dunsparce's original body. According to a study, Dudunsparce's number of segments is determined by its genes. Each segment has its own pair of wings and back pattern. Two-Segment Form Dudunsparce have two pairs of body segments, with two blue stripes and a pair of two-feathered wings on the first body segment, and one blue stripe and a pair of one-feathered wings on the second. Some Dudunsparce have the Three-Segment Form instead, which has an additional body segment after the head; this segment has three blue stripes and a pair of three-feathered wings.

Dudunsparce makes its nest, which can reach over six miles (10&nbsp;km) long, by using its hard tail to bore holes into bedrock deep underground. It drives enemies out of its nest by inhaling air with its long, narrow lungs — enough to greatly inflate its first body segment — and then releasing it in an intense blast. It is also known to be gentle, however, and will carry Pokémon wandering into its nest on its back and guide them outside.

Dudunsparce and its pre-evolved form are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Hyper Drill}}.

===Form data===
Dudunsparce has two non-interchangeable forms: Two-Segment Form and Three-Segment Form. Aside from weight and height differences, the difference between the two forms is purely aesthetic. The form {{p|Dunsparce}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Dudunsparce's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Dudunsparce (including those encountered in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s), as these will always be in Two-Segment Form regardless of their encryption constant value.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1596550660241039360 Encounter rates for Three-Segment Dudunsparce by Anubis/Sibuna_Switch on Twitter]</ref> Despite being visually different, these two forms share the same menu sprite (except in {{g|HOME}}).

Since [[Nature]]s were determined via [[personality value]] in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}} (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to [[Generation VI]]), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce with the [[Ability]] {{a|Serene Grace}} that is [[transfer]]red from Generations III or IV will have a 50% chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce from the same [[generation]]s with other Natures or the Ability {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form.

==Trivia==
* Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] Normal-type Pokémon.
* Dudunsparce's [[cry]] is composed from Dunsparce's cry, pitched down and with a portion of it repeated multiple times.
* If the height and weight differences between the different forms is their only difference aside from their aesthetics, each body segment of a Dundunsparce is on the average of 0.9 m (2'11") in length and 8.2 kg (18.1 lbs.) in weight. Combining those numeric value, 0982, is Dundunsparce's National Pokédex number (#0982).

===Origin===
Dudunsparce appears to be based on the snake-like {{wp|Tsuchinoko}} cryptid of Japan. Its multiple segments may also be inspired by some {{wp|Sphingidae|sphinx moth caterpillars}} (some mimic snakes, which leads to them being mistaken for Tsuchinoko). Its gourd-shaped body may be a reference to gourd-shaped sake bottles, given that the tsuchinoko was said to have a taste for alcohol. Dudunsparce may also be based on the Nozuchi, which is another snake-like yokai with caterpillar traits but larger and more ferocious than the Tsuchinoko. 

The appearance of Dudunsparce's segmentation is similar to the {{wp|ultrabithorax}} genetic mutation, observed in the {{wp|Drosophila melanogaster|fruit fly}}. The mutation essentially results in the development of a second thorax directly behind the first, complete with its own extra set of wings. 

====Name origin====
Dudunsparce may be derived from a partial repetition of ''{{p|Dunsparce}}'', in reference to the former's multi-segmented appearance as well as having an appearance nearly identical to its pre-evolution. It may also be a combination of ''double'' or ''dud'' (possibly referencing its pre-evolution's almost-useless wings and tendency to remain motionless and inactive, or Dudunsparce's aforementioned relative lack of visual changes from its pre-evolution) and ''Dunsparce''.

Nokokocchi may be derived from a partial repetition of ノコッチ ''Nokocchi'' (Dunsparce), for the same reasons mentioned above.
