Wooper and Quagsire

Wooper made its anime debut in No Big Woop.

A Wooper was also one of the Pokémon that Ash and friends were taking care of while Nurse Joy was ill in Pinch Healing.

A gang of Wooper appear in Pikachu and Pichu in the Pichu Brothers' posse. One of these were one of the Pichu Brother's best friends in Pichu Bros. in Party Panic.

Several Wooper and a Quagsire made an appearance in The Rise of Darkrai.

A Wooper also made an appearance in Like It Or Lup It!.

In the manga

Pokémon Special

In Template:PSV, a conman uses a swarm of Wooper as a part of his game stall.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Out of all the Pokéfloats, Wooper spends the most time on-screen. It first appears when play is on Slowpoke's tail and it then floats past Sudowoodo, Snorlax, Venusaur and Seel before finally floating away from play. While its head is small, players can also stand on the gills.

Trivia

• Oddly, Wooper can learn Ice Punch without having arms.
• Wooper had a white tipped tail in Generation II.
• The blue Pokémon Mini was modelled after Wooper.

Origin

Wooper seems to be based on a larval axolotl, which have flat tails and feathery, external gills.

Name origin

Wooper's English name appears to be based directly on its Japanese name, Upah/"Wooper". Upa is drived from "Wooper Looper", a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad in Japan. Wooper Loopers (or "Upa") are the Japanese term for the larval stages of the axolotl, a species of salamander.

In other languages

• German: Felino
• French: Axoloto - From axolotl.
• Korean: 우파 Upa
