Buizel

Buizel (ブイゼル Buoysel) is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is classified as the sea weasel Pokémon.

Buizel floats in water by inflating the flotation ring around its neck and deflates the ring when it needs to dive. It swims by corkscrewing its two tails, which help swim and keep on top of the water.

In the Anime
Buizel made his appearance when he is found training by itself in the wild next to a waterfall. Ash had attempted to catch it but failed. However, Dawn caught it the second time and Buizel is now a part of the team.

Buizel is not fond of Dawn at first, and he refused to obey Dawn's command and choose to use his move on its own. But then Buizel starts to obey Dawn's command.

When Dawn is training with his Buizel, she trained together with Ash's Aipom. Buizel is more interested by the way Ash trains his Pokémon and pause for a second to look at Ash's battlefield when Dawn is training him. At the same time, Ash's Aipom is interested in Dawn's training. Persuaded by Zoey, Ash and Dawn decided to trade off Buizel and Aipom.

When Ash is battling with Veilstone Gym leader, Maylene, he use Buizel to battle with Maylene's Lucario. The battle was extraordinary, just then Buizel learn a new move called Water Pulse. When Lucario attack with Aura Sphere, it hits Buizel's Water Pulse and it blasts off the roof of the battlefield. Just then, it rains. Because Buizel have a special ability "Swift Swim", he moves very fast to attack Lucario. In the end, both Buizel and Lucario falls and was considered a draw. Ash earns his Cobble Badge then.
