Clodsire (Pokémon)

|}
Clodsire (Japanese: ドオー Dooh) is a dual-type introduced in Generation IX.
It evolves from starting at level 20.
==Biology==
Clodsire is a quadrupedal, , with a rounded body that is dark brown on the top and light brown on the bottom, forming a wave pattern in the middle. It has black beady eyes, a large mouth, and a pair of tiny nostrils. Its four legs are rounded and have three digits each. A short dorsal fin delineates its lower back and ends at its stout, bulbous tail. Clodsire shares many similarities with its non-Paldean relative, .
On top of Clodsire's back are six light purple circular spots. If Clodsire is attacked, it will retaliate by sticking out large, thick, light purple spines from these spots—a dangerous and risky move. Clodsire lives in the depths of ponds and swamps, and helps cross waters by carrying them on its back. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Clodsire has been seen sleeping in the mud on rare occasions. It is theorized that this is because Clodsire became sleeping after carrying Paldean Wooper in the water.
