Rabsca (Japanese: ベラカス Beracas) is a dual-type introduced in Generation IX.
It evolves from when leveled up while outside of its Poké Ball after the player walks 1000 steps using the Let's Go! feature.https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1678027317891694593https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1680044846403272704
==Biology==
Rabsca is a teal, metallic, beetle-like Pokémon that perpetually floats upside down in the air. Its face is red, with a diamond-shaped nose, a white four-pointed star on its forehead, and long, prominent white hairs that extend past its body, resembling eyebrows and a mustache; the latter also somewhat resembles wings. Its eyes have pink sclerae and white pupils shaped like four-pointed stars, but they are usually closed. It has four limbs, each with three spike-like protruberances. It has four horn-like protrusions on its head, a zigzag pattern on its abdomen, and an elaborate pattern of red stripes on its back.
Rabsca's hind legs hold a ball over its body. The double-layer ball is reddish pink with purple cloud-like masses surrounding it, and it can glow brightly, revealing a cocoon-like infant sleeping inside. Rabsca gently rolls the ball with its legs so that the infant inside can sleep comfortably. A hypothesis posits that the infant is actually Rabsca's true body, since the body that rolls the ball around barely moves. In Generation IX, is its signature move.
