Buizel possesses mainly mammalian characteristics with orange fur and paws as well as resembling a realistic cross between a weasel and a sea otter. The collar that is around its neck can be inflated and used as a flotation device when the Pokémon inhales. Buizel also carries characteristics of sea creatures, in that it has two blue fins on its arms and two tails, appearing to be split up, that resembles a fish's fin. The tail's function as a boat propeller by spinning. There are parallel marks on their cheeks quite similar to those of Furret. The male has two round white marks on its back, while the female has only one.
Gender differences
From back view, the males have two white spots and the females only have one.
Special abilities
Buizel can apparently both fly and propel itself through water by spinning their tails like propellers.
Buizel is one of the Pokémon owned by a family traveling circus performers during the movie, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. It wasn't seen performing with them, however, and was treated more like a pet.
