(Japanese: ミジュマル Mijumaru) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Futachimaru starting at level 17, which evolves into Daikenki starting at level 36.

Alongside Tsutarja and Pokabu, it is one of the starter Pokémon of the Isshu region, able to be chosen at the beginning of Pokémon Black and White.

Biology

Physiology

Mijumaru is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Mijumaru has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Mijumaru’s eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval tilted to the side. Mijumaru also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines, and light blue bubble-esque features composing a “collar” around its neck. Mijumaru’s torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell feature in the center, which can be removed and used in various ways. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Mijumaru also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark blue tail.

Trivia

The three silhouettes on Pokémon Sunday

• Mijumaru and its fellow Black and White starters were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of CoroCoro.
• Mijumaru is the first Template:Type2 starter Pokémon to be based on a mammal as well as the first mammalian starter not to be of the Template:Type2.
• Ken Sugimori said that Mijimaru and its evolutions were the hardest for the team to design during production, as conceptualizing its evolutions were difficult. They eventually settled on a samurai theme and making its final form a sea lion after a trip to an aquarium.

Origin

It appears to be based on a sea otter.

Name origin

May be derived from 水 mizu, water or 未熟 mijuku, naive and 丸 maru, round. -maru is also a common suffix in male Japanese names.
