Cubchoo (Japanese: クマシュン Kumasyun) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Beartic starting at level 37.

Biology

Cubchoo is a bipedal, ursine Pokémon with a light blue head and neck. Its head is slightly pointed at the top and has large round ears; shiny, dark, oval eyes; and a darker blue muzzle. Cubchoo has a shiny dark nose, from which a considerable amount of light blue nasal mucus — the source of its attacks — constantly droops. The lower part of its body is white. It has rounded forepaws, digit-less feet with black paw pads, and a small round tail.

Cubchoo's mucus can cause frostbite, and is inhaled and used for its attacks, as well as smeared on anyone it dislikes. Cubchoo's mucus is also an indicator of its health. When it is healthy, its mucus is sticky and its Ice-type moves become stronger. However, if it is in bad health, the mucus becomes watery or even nonexistent, which weakens its Ice-type techniques. Cubchoo inhabits cold regions, along the shorelines.

Evolution

Cubchoo evolves into Beartic.

Sword When this Pokémon is in good health, its snot becomes thicker and stickier. It will smear its snot on anyone it doesn't like. Shield It sniffles before performing a move, using its frosty snot to provide an icy element to any move that needs it.
Generation IX Paldea #355 Kitakami #— Blueberry #153 Scarlet Many of this species can be found along the shorelines of cold regions. If a Cubchoo lacks dangling snot, there's a chance it is sick. Violet When Cubchoo starts sneezing, watch out! If it spatters you with its frosty snot, you'll get frostbite.

Trivia

Cubchoo mentioned in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

• Despite not being available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Cubchoo is mentioned by a Galaxy Team member in the Alabaster Icelands.

Origin

Cubchoo is based on a polar bear cub. The mucus it possesses is probably inspired by the fact that cold weather often results in a runny nose.

Name origin

Cubchoo may be a combination of cub and ah-choo (sound of a sneeze).

Kumasyun may be a combination of 熊 kuma (bear) and くしゅん kushun (onomatopoeia of a sneeze). It may also incorporate 熊 xióng (Chinese for bear).
