Snubbull (Japanese: ブルー Bull) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Granbull starting at level 23.

Biology

Physiology

Snubbull resembles a pink bipedal bulldog with unusual blue polka dots covering its body. It appears to be wearing a small dress; however, this is probably due to wrinkles of loose skin that cover its body. Its face is somewhat fierce looking, with a pronounced underbite.

Gender differences

None.

Behavior

Despite this Pokémon's fierce looking face, it is very playful and affectionate. It is a popular companion among women. While there is some debate on to whether or not it files into the "ugly" or "cute" category, many girls find this Pokémon very appealing. It is not aggressive and tends to prefer to scare away its opponent rather than fight.
