Wugtrio (Japanese: ウミトリオ Umitrio) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It evolves from Wiglett starting at level 26.

Biology

Wugtrio is a long, red, three-bodied fish Pokémon that lives in a black spiky rock. Each body has a head with beady dark blue eyes and a large, round, white nose. Only Wugtrio's heads and parts of its bodies are seen; it is unknown what the rest of its body looks like inside of the rock.

Wugtrio is considered a particularly aggressive Pokémon species, wrapping its three bodies around prey and dragging them down to its lair. It was originally thought to be a regional form of Dugtrio, but this has since been disproven.

Wugtrio is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Triple Dive.

Trivia

• Wugtrio and Kantonian Dugtrio have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.

Origin

Wugtrio appears to be based on garden eels, and probably also draws inspiration from razor clams and tubifex worms. The fact that it physically resembles Dugtrio may be a reference to convergent evolution or parallel evolution, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing similar or identical characteristics and body plans. Its habit of dragging its prey into its den is similar to how moray eels hunt. Its silhouette may also derive slight cues from giant tube worms.

Name origin

Wugtrio may be a combination of Wiglett or wug (a word used to describe any creature with worm-like features) and Dugtrio.

Umitrio may be a combination of 海 umi (sea) and Dugtrio.
