Snubbull (Japanese: ブルー Bull) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Granbull starting at level 23.

Biology

Physiology

Snubbull resembles a pink bipedal bulldog with unusual blue polka dots covering its body. It appears to be wearing a small dress with a blue colored ruff; however, this is probably due to wrinkles of loose skin that cover its body. Its face is somewhat fierce looking, with a pronounced underbite. Snubbull’s ears are flat, curved, and tipped with black, and oddly Snubbull appears to have two pairs of them. Snubbull has a small, shiny black nose, and beige-colored, three-toed feet with circular pink paw pads on the undersides.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Snubbull has strong jaws, and as such it can use Bite, Crunch, and the more enigmatic Elemental Fang trio. Snubbull, with the specific example being Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull, possesses an ability like 'real-life' dogs to use its keen sense of smell to track things down.

Behavior

Despite this Pokémon's fierce looking face, it is very playful and affectionate. It is a popular companion among women for its devotion and loyalty, according to The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide. While there is some debate on to whether or not it files into the "ugly" or "cute" category, many girls find this Pokémon very appealing. It is not aggressive and tends to prefer to scare away its opponent rather than fight. Although Snubbull is a bipedal Pokémon, it has been depicted on occasion to run on four feet.
