wooper-paldea

Paldean Wooper is a regional variant of Wooper introduced in Generation 9, native to the Paldea region. Unlike its Johtonian counterpart, this form has adapted to terrestrial life, resulting in a different typing and appearance.

Type: Poison / Ground

Abilities:

• Poison Point: The opponent has a 30% chance of being poisoned if it makes contact with Paldean Wooper.
• Water Absorb: Restores HP if hit by a Water-type move, nullifying the damage.
• Hidden Ability (Unaware): Ignores the opponent’s stat changes when attacking or defending, making it effective against setup strategies.

Physical Characteristics:

• Paldean Wooper has a brown, muddy appearance with bone-like gills protruding from its head.
• Its body is coated with a poisonous film to prevent drying out on land.
• It features a distinctive rib-like pattern on its chest.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Adapted to life on land, Paldean Wooper resides in wetlands and marshy areas.
• It moves slowly due to its heavy body but compensates with its potent poison-based defenses.
• Often seen in groups, they rely on their evolved form, Clodsire, for transportation across water bodies.

In Battle:

• Its Poison/Ground typing grants immunity to Electric-type moves and resistance to Fighting, Poison, Rock, and Bug-type attacks.
• Vulnerable to Water, Ice, Ground, and Psychic-type moves.
• Abilities like Water Absorb provide strategic advantages against Water-type opponents.

Evolution:

• Paldean Wooper evolves into Clodsire starting at level 20.

Interesting Facts:

• Unlike Johtonian Wooper, which is Water/Ground-type, Paldean Wooper's Poison/Ground typing is unique and offers different strategic uses in battle.
• Its design is inspired by the Iberian ribbed newt, known for its defensive mechanism of projecting ribs through its skin to deliver poison.
• Paldean Wooper's adaptation to land life is a result of competition and environmental changes in the Paldea region.
