Exploud (Japanese: バクオング Bakuongu) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
Biology
Physiology
Exploud is a squat, boxy-looking creature. Its distinguishing characteristic is the cluster of sound-pipes projecting from its body, making it resemble nothing so much as a pipe-organ mounted onto an engine-block. There is a frill of seven such pipes on the sides and back of its head; two long, flexible ones make up its tail; and it has breathing ports on its back, elbows and knees. It produces a variety of sounds through these openings, from flutelike calls to a battle-roar that can be heard for a radius of six miles. (It has been known to trigger weak earthquakes.)
Natural abilities
It has Soundproof for its Ability which makes no sound-based attacks (such as Roar or Jigglypuff's Sing) will affect it. It is known to be very noisy and its cries can be heard from miles away.
Evolution
Exploud evolves from Loudred at Level 40, and is the final form of Whismur.
