|}
Buizel (Japanese: ブイゼル Buoysel) is a introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves into starting at level 26.
==Biology==
Buizel is an orange resembling a weasel and a sea otter. It has a yellow collar around its neck and two blue fins on its arms. Buizel has a cream-colored spot above each eye and two black parallel marks on its cheeks. The underside of its face and stomach are also cream-colored, as are the tips of its two tails. A male Buizel has two cream-colored spots on their back, while a female has only one.
Buizel's yellow collar is a flotation sac that can be inflated when it inhales. By doing so, Buizel can keep its face above water to watch for prey movement or survey its surroundings. Conversely, it deflates this sac in order to dive. Its tails can spin to act as a propeller, allowing it to swim and slice through obstacles like seaweed. In the episode Mounting a Coordinator Assault!, it is also shown to be able to fly using its spinning tail. Buizel usually lives alongside bodies of water.
