Buoysel (ブイゼル, Buizeru^?) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon from the multi-billion-dollar^[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. Released in March 2006 alongside Tamanta and Perap, it scheduled to appear in the 9th Pokémon movie Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy, as well as Pokémon Diamond and Pearl on the Nintendo DS. Buoysel is also in a short film called Pokémon Mischievous Island along with Perap. The purpose of Buoysel in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.^[2]

Its Japanese name is apparently a portmanteau of the English words “buoy”, and “weasel”. Buoysel’s actual appearance is similar to that of an otter, which is in the same family (Mustelidae) as weasels. Buoysel’s English name is currently unknown.

[edit] Biological Characteristics

Buoysel possesses mainly mammalian characteristics with orange fur and paws as well as resembling a realistic cross between a weasel and a sea otter. The collar that is around its neck can be inflated and used as a flotation device when the Pokémon inhales. Buoysel also carries characteristics of sea creatures, in that it has two blue fins on its arms and two tails, appearing to be split up, that resembles a fish's fin. The tails function as a boat propeller by spinning.

[edit] In the video games

Buoysel is one of the many Pokémon that first appeared in the Nintendo DS games, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. As a Water-type Pokémon, Buoysel is strong against Fire, Rock, and Ground Pokémon, but is weak against Electric and Grass Pokémon.

Buoysel will also be able to learn a new attack called Aqua Jet, a water-based move that always hits first, which is the same as Quick Attack but is a Water type move instead of Normal.
