Quagsire (Japanese: ヌオー Nuoh) is a Water/Ground-type Pokémon, first seen in Pokémon Gold and Silver. It is also available in Pokémon Crystal, Pokémon FireRed, Pokémon Emerald and Pokémon Colosseum.
Quagsire comes with one of two abilities: Damp, which prevents any Pokémon from using Selfdestruct or Explosion; or Water Absorb, which causes an opponent's Template:Type2 attacks to restore HP rather than deal damage.
Quagsire evolves via level from Wooper starting at level 20.
Biology
Physiology
Gender differences
The "fin" running down a female Quagsire's back is smaller than that of a male.
Special abilities
A Pokémon Trainer who does not know their type matchups well may be tricked into sending an electric-type Pokémon into battle against Quagsire or its pre-evolution only to find that the electric attacks will do nothing.
Behavior
Quagsire are quite care-free and relaxed. Because of this, they tend to bump into boat hulls. Once a year, when the moon is full, wild Quagsire collect round objects like balls and swim to Blue Moon Falls, where they attempt to shoot the balls to the top of a waterfall with their Water Gun attacks to see who can launch their objects the highest. The day after, the objects float downstream and are considered to be blessed with luck from the Quagsire.
Habitat
Quagsire live in extremely clean bodies of freshwater. The presence of Quagsire in water is usually an excellent indicator that the water is very safe for consumption.
Diet

A Quagsire has also appeared in Training Wrecks, under the ownership of Rocky. Quagsire battled Ash's Pikachu and Grovyle, alongside a Walrein. Before Pikachu could nail Walrein with its Electric Attacks, Quagsire would protect Walrein from being shocked, due to its immunity to Electricity while Walrein's Ice Ball hit Grovyle and Pikachu hard, but after the Ice Ball want slower every turn, Pikachu and Grovyle defeated Walrein and Quagsire.
