Dudunsparce (Japanese: ノココッチ Nokokocchi) is a introduced in Generation IX.
It evolves from when leveled up while knowing .
Dudunsparce has two separate forms: Two-Segment Form and Three-Segment Form. When Dunsparce evolves, it has a 1/100 chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce.

==Biology==
Dudunsparce is a serpentine Pokémon that looks nearly identical to its pre-Evolution, . It has the same yellow body with a blue underside and blue and cream stripes on its back. It sports three "prongs" on its blue chin and its eyes are now partially opened up, revealing its two pupiless white colored scleras. It has a dark blue spiral pattern on the underside of its first body segment, and its tail has a blue "cap" on it.
The most notable change Dudunsparce has compared to its pre-Evolution is that its body is longer, having gained segments that are similar to Dunsparce's original body. Two known variations are known to exist: Two-Segment Form and Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce. According to a study, Dudunsparce's number of segments is determined by its genes. Each segment has its own pair of wings and back pattern. Two-Segment Form Dudunsparce have two body segments, with two blue stripes and a pair of two-feathered wings on the first body segment, and one blue stripe and a pair of one-feathered wings on the second. Some Dudunsparce have the Three-Segment Form instead, which has an additional body segment after the head; this segment has three blue stripes and a pair of three-feathered wings.
Dudunsparce makes its nest, which can reach over six miles (10 km) long, by using its hard tail to bore holes into bedrock deep underground. It drives enemies out of its nest by inhaling air with its long, narrow lungs — enough to greatly inflate its first body segment — and then releasing it in an intense blast. However, it is also known to be gentle, and will carry Pokémon wandering into its nest on its back and guide them outside.
Dudunsparce and its pre-evolved form are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move .

===Form data===
Dudunsparce has two non-interchangeable forms: Two-Segment Form and Three-Segment Form. Aside from weight and height differences, the difference between the two forms is purely aesthetic. The form evolves into is determined based on its encryption constant, with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for wild Dudunsparce (including those encountered in Tera Raid Battles), as these will always be in Two-Segment Form regardless of their encryption constant value.Encounter rates for Three-Segment Dudunsparce by Anubis/Sibuna_Switch on Twitter Despite being visually different, these two forms share the same menu sprite (except in ).
Since Natures were determined via personality value in Generations and (which itself is indistinct from encryption constants prior to Generation VI), a Hardy Nature Dunsparce with the Ability that is transferred from Generations III or IV will have a 50% chance of evolving into Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce, whereas Dunsparce from the same generations with other Natures or the Ability will always evolve into the Two-Segment Form (unless a Dunsparce with Run Away came from ).

==Trivia==
* Three-Segment Form Dudunsparce is the tallest Normal-type Pokémon.
* Dudunsparce's cry is composed from Dunsparce's cry, pitched down and with a portion of it repeated multiple times.
===Origin===
Like its pre-Evolution, Dudunsparce seems to be based primarily on the (aka バチヘビ bachi hebi or bee snake, hence Dudunsparce's bee-like features), as well as the Nozuchi, a large caterpillar-like creature sometimes claimed to be synonymous with the Tsuchinoko. It may draw inspiration from , , and or , as well as snake-mimicking and gourd sake bottles.
The appearance of Dudunsparce's segmentation is similar to the genetic mutation, observed in the . The mutation essentially results in the development of a second thorax directly behind the first, complete with its own extra set of wings. 
====Name origin====
Dudunsparce may be derived from a partial repetition of , in reference to the former's multi-segmented appearance as well as having an appearance nearly identical to its pre-Evolution. It may also be a combination of double or dud (possibly referencing its pre-Evolution's almost-useless wings and tendency to remain motionless and inactive, or Dudunsparce's aforementioned relative lack of visual changes from its pre-Evolution) and Dunsparce.
Nokokocchi may be derived from a partial repetition of ノコッチ Nokocchi (Dunsparce), for the same reasons mentioned above.
