'''Cetoddle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルクジラ''' ''Arukujira'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Cetitan}} when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

==Biology==
Cetoddle is a white round {{wp|cetacean}} Pokémon with large eyes, a large curved mouth, long fin-like forelimbs, a large tail, and two stubby legs. There are pink accents around its eyes, on its hands, below its feet, and on its tail; and it has a single horn on its forehead. When Cetoddle opens its mouth, a single rounded tooth can be seen on its lower jaw.

Cetoddle is thought to be a close relative of {{p|Wailmer}}. However, unlike Wailmer, who once lived on land before becoming a sea-dwelling species, Cetoddle used to live in the ocean a long time ago, before it migrated onto land. Cetoddle live in cold regions, in pods consisting of around five individuals. It loves minerals found in snow and ice.

Cetoddle and its evolved form, {{p|Cetitan}}, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Ice Spinner}} by leveling up.

===Evolution===
Cetoddle evolves into {{p|Cetitan}}.

====Major appearances====
A group of Cetoddle appeared in [[HZ063]] being rode on by tourists at a snowboarding event, thus marking the species' debut. Another Cetoddle owned by [[Grusha]] appeared soon after.

====Minor appearances====

===Pokémon: Paldean Winds===
Two {{pkmn2|wild}} Cetoddle appeared in ''[[PPW01|Breathe Out]]''. They briefly reappeared in ''[[PPW04|Breathe Together]]'', during [[Ohara]], [[Aliquis]], and [[Hohma]]'s video presentation about [[Naranja Academy]].

==Trivia==
* Cetoddle and its evolution were designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1612716767444631552 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on January 10, 2023.</ref>

===Origin===
Cetoddle appears to be based on various {{wp|Arctic}} cetaceans. Its general appearance and shape may be based on the {{wp|bowhead whale}} (also known as the polar whale or the icewhale), its white coloration and large head may be inspired by the {{wp|beluga}}, and its singular horn may draw inspiration from the {{wp|narwhal}}. It also appears to be based on toddlers.

Cetoddle's history of migrating from the ocean and adapting to living on land is an inverse of {{wp|Evolution of cetaceans|how cetaceans evolved in real life}}, as they started out as land animals that migrated into and adapted in the water.

====Name origin====
Cetoddle may be a combination of ''{{wp|Cetacea|cetacean}}'' or ''{{wp|Cetus (mythology)|Cetus}}'' (a sea monster in Greek mythology whose name became the etymology for the word ''cetacean'') and ''toddle'' (to walk unsteadily) or ''toddler''.

Arukujira may be a combination of 歩く ''aruku'' (to walk) and 鯨 ''kujira'' (whale).
