Cubchoo (Japanese: クマシュン, Hepburn: Kumashun) (cub-CHOO[1]) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Cubchoo resembles a baby polar bear. The top half of its plump body is covered in light-blue fur, while its lower half is white. It has black oval-shaped eyes, round ears, small, stubby paws and feet, and a round white tail. Cubchoo's muzzle is a deeper shade of blue, and it has a large, round black nose with a thick droplet of partially frozen mucus dripping down like an icicle. Always its nose is runny even when its healthy.
Behavior[]
A Cubchoo's nose is always running; when they sniff the snot back up into their noses, the mucus provides them with the energy they need to use their Ice-type attacks in battle. They sometimes smear their snots onto people it dislikes. When this Pokémon is sick, the mucus becomes watery, causing the power of their moves to decrease. Thus, Trainers can easily discern the health of their Cubchoo based on the viscosity of their substance; thick and sticky snot that holds together well indicates healthy Cubchoo, while thin and runny snot indicates ill ones.
Natural abilities[]
A Cubchoo's snot can cause frostbite if it's sneezed onto somebody.[2]
Evolution[]
Cubchoo evolves into Beartic at level 37.

Trivia[]
- The Cubchoo evolutionary line is the second based on bears, after the Teddiursa/Ursaring line.
- Cubbo, a Bakugan introduced in 2019, resembles Cubchoo to a degree, though this is likely coincidental.
Origin[]
Cubchoo is based on a polar bear cub with some elements of teddy bears. Its association with sneezing may be a visual pun on the common cold, a disease that causes sneezing.
Etymology[]
- Cubchoo (which is also its name in Spanish and Italian) is a portmanteau of cub (a juvenile bear), and achoo (the onomatopoeia for sneezing). It may (as polar bears have thick blubber and Cubchoo is rather plump) also derive from "chub" (body fat).
- Its Japanese name, Kumashun, is a portmanteau of 熊 (kuma, bear) and クシュン (kushun, the sound of a sneeze)
Names in other languages[]
- Polarhume, its French name, is a portmanteau of polaire (French for "polar") and rhume (French for "cold," referring to the disease).
- Petznief, its German name, is a portmanteau of Meister Petz (the German name for the African-American folkloric character Br'er Bear) and schniefen (German for "to sniff").
- Kogomi, its Korean name, is a portmanteau of 코 (ko, nose), 곰 (gom, bear), 코곪 (kogom, snoring), and the suffix -이 (-i, one who does something).
- Pēntìxióng, its Mandarin Chinese name, literally means "sneezing bear."
