CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Pupitar wears a shell as hard as stone, but this pupal state does not condemn it to immobility. It produces internal gas, compresses it and expels it to leap or move at high speed. Its legs are already beginning to emerge beneath the armour while its new body forms. Impatient to evolve, it sometimes releases this pressure in all directions. The Pokédex thus describes a restless transformation, almost dangerous to anything in its path.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Sun connects Pupitar’s erratic leaps with its impatience to evolve. Pokémon Shield reveals that legs are already emerging beneath its shell. The gas therefore propels a pupa actively preparing the body of its next stage.
