Thwackey (Pokémon)

|}
Thwackey (Japanese: バチンキー Bachinkey) is a introduced in Generation VIII.
It evolves from starting at level 16 and evolves into starting at level 35.
==Biology==
Thwackey is a bipedal, humanoid monkey with a light-green body, and lighter-green markings on its face and chest. Its ears, arms, and tail are dark brown, and its two large eyes are yellow in color. It has dark green bands around its wrists and the stick it holds splits in two after its evolution, which it uses to hold up a tuft of leaves resembling hair on its head. When it removes the sticks, the leaves resemble a mohawk, with a dark green color on the ends. It has several sharp teeth.
Thwackey can use its two sticks to create a rhythmic beat. The faster a rhythm Thwackey creates, the more respect it earns from its peers. Often, when it drums out rapid beats in battle, Thwackey will get so caught up in the rhythm that it does not realize its opponent has been knocked out. This action will also cause Thwackey to even ignore its own Trainer’s commands. To further develop its sense of rhythm, it constantly uses it in daily life. It can always feel a beat, and it walks while swaying back and forth to this beat, along with drumming with its sticks.Thwackey | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield As seen in the episode A One-Stick Wonder!, Thwackey can groom its friends to cheer them up; this is its way to show friendship and trust.
