Shuppet (Japanese: カゲボウズ Kagebouzu) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Banette starting at level 37.

Biology

Shuppet is a spherical Pokémon that appears to be covered by a gray cloth. Black rings surround its multicolored eyes, which have light blue sclera, dark blue irises, and yellow pupils. Extending from the top of its head is a long, pointed horn. The horn collects the negative emotions of people, on which this Pokémon feeds. The emotions it feeds on include anger, jealousy, and envy, so some people are grateful for its presence. A nocturnal Pokémon, it will appear in swarms beneath the eaves of houses with negative people. It is most commonly found in cities and other urban settings.

A Shuppet appeared in Zoroark: Master of Illusions, under the ownership of Grings Kodai. It would help its Trainer locate the Time Ripple by using Foresight.

Trivia

• Shuppet can be seen as a parallel to Duskull. Both are Generation III Ghost-type Pokémon. Both evolve into their evolved forms starting at level 37. Both also have the same base stat total.

Origin

It appears to be a てるてる坊主 teru teru bōzu, a Japanese paper doll resembling a ghost. It also resembles a hand puppet. It also appears similar to common depictions of ghosts, specifically those that resemble floating cloths with faces.

Name origin

Shuppet may be a combination of shadow and puppet, or a contraction of shadow puppet.

Kagebouzu is a combination of 影 kage (shadow) and てるてる坊主 teru teru bōzu (paper dolls with a shape similar to Shuppet).
