Paldean Wooper Appreciation Thread

AKA Pooper

It's the first ground/poison type we've had since Nidoking and Nidoqueen. It retains all of of the charms of the original Wooper with cuter gills. It's perfect.

Give Pooper your words of affirmation below.

Look at that smile. I've only had P-Wooper for less than an hour but I will give everything to it.

 

[Cute Charm]

The happiest skull and crossbones ever.

 

[Enzap]

I have made a wonderful discovery

I'm getting a skeleton vibe from the design. The gills kind of look like bones and the mark on its chest kind of looks like a spine.

I wonder if we'll end up with some kind of Quagsire skeleton-like mon as it's evolution?

Could be interesting for sure! Bones are historically associated with the ground type in Pokémon, so it wouldn't be that far of a stretch.

Okay so....I just realized something...Paldeian Wooper retroactively explains Koffing and Weezing's oddly shaped markings.

It's definitely not intentional...but the skull and crossbones motif and Wooper's mouth does look like it if you just move the crossbones down.

Spoiler: Koffing

An absolute cutie. I need a plush of this baby immediately.

 

[Nitro Indigo]

I barely registered its appearance in the trailer because it was on-screen so briefly, but its gills look like crossbones, and that's amazing. Also, I wonder if it's based on those PokéDex entries that say Wooper is covered in a poisonous film?

 

[Juliko]

I think Paldean Wooper is adorable, and love that it's a poison/ground type and making use of some of OG Wooper's lore.

 

[Blast]

I'm glad it's still happy as can be in this form too. Though I expect Paldean Quagsire to look more different compared to its regular form.

 

[Nitro Indigo]

Since they didn't reveal Quagsire, I'm guessing its evolution will have a different name.

 

[Sakuraa]

All Wooper are cute and this one is no exception.

So are there going to be regional variants for every region now? That's four regions with variants in a row, and one of them was Ancient Sinnoh despite the Sinnoh remakes not having variants.

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. I don't care what anyone else says, Pwooper is my new favorite thing and I need three of them pronto.

Also super interested to see what it will look like when it evolves. I think it could be cool if it went the Obstagoon route and had another evolution after Quagsire.

Oh I'd love that. Quagsire is great, but it's always been a bit on the underwhelming side in battle so an evolution would be great.

That wholesomeness tho

Aside from being cute, just like the original, I'm glad that it has an underused typing (since Poison/Ground hasn't been used since Nidoking and Nidoqueen). The fact that it has Water Absorb as well is a cool bonus.

So, when I was playing Diamond as a kid, one of my team members was a Wooper, later a Quagsire, who was quite creatively named Woopy. The Wooper line is definitely one of my favorites, and the Paldean version will probably end up on my team in SV. In light of the nickname Paldean Wooper has earned, and in honor of my Diamond companion, there’s only one name that I could possibly give this little guy.

Poopy.

Another fun fact: if we look very deeply, P-Wooper’s typing has been “foreshadowed” since the very first GS games!

Look at the Dex entries of regular Wooper:

Regular Wooper coat themselves in a toxic and poisonous film. It seems that the Paldean version took a step further.
