So before discussing more about Dudunsparce, let's first get to know Dunsparce. That way your understanding can be more holistic and complete!

In a Pokémon universe full of fantastical and diverse creatures, Dunsparce is one of the Pokémon that has a special charm and mystery of its own, Vicigers.

Dunsparce view

With a fairly simple appearance, Dunsparce has a lot of interesting facts and aspects that make it different from the others.

Dunsparce is a Normal-type Pokémon first introduced in the second generation. Dunsparce has a long, slender body, with yellow and white colors as its trademark.

Its body was equipped with a pair of small wings and large eyes that looked out with a curious expression. One of its distinctive features is the blue patterned strands at the end of its tail.

Dunsparce's Origins and Links to Legend

Dunsparce is associated with various myths and legends. Some fans believe that this Pokémon has legendary origins, possibly stemming from underground legends or similar myths.

However, when viewed from his trivia, one of the myths that best fits Dunsparce himself is the story of a Japanese mythological creature that is identical to a child story named Tsuchinoko.

This creature resembles a 'fat' body snake which is said to be able to jump up to even speak! While there's no official connection to the legend in Pokémon stories, this idea showcases the unique appeal Dunsparce had in the minds of its developers.

Dunsparce as a companion Pokémon to the Pokédex

Beyond that description, Dunsparce itself is rarely the choice of Trainers as their Party lineup. Often times, these Pokémon are only used as 'complementary' collections: only for that region's Pokedex to be complete.

Yep, there are 'rarely ignored' Pokémon categories like this. And besides Dunsparce, some are also included in it like Shuckle, Luvdisc, Delibird, etc.

Dudunsparce as Evolution of Dunsparce

So, in this ninth generation, the Pokémon developers have decided to give a new breakthrough, especially for Dunsparce, you know! Yep, his evolved form, Dudunsparce, was just introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

At first glance, this Pokémon doesn't have any significant differences. In a way, this is the first Pokémon that after evolving doesn't have any significant morphological (shape) changes.

However, this Dunsparce to Dudunsparce evolution type has a new twist: it has a rare form. Yep, Game Freak as the developer introduced two types of Dudunsparce.

The first is Dudunsparce with a body that is divided into two segments (two-segment form), and the one in the form of three segments (three segment form).

Normally, a Dunsparce would evolve into a Dudunsparce with a two-segmented form. Only those who are lucky can get Dudunsparce with a three-segment shape.

This was because the probability of getting it had a ratio of 1/100. There is no official effective method on how to ensure getting the three-segment Dudunsparce through the process of evolution.

It should also be noted that the three-segment Dudunsparce can only be obtained through the process of evolution or trade (from those who have successfully evolved it). It cannot be found spawned naturally in the wild.

Apart from that system, Dudunsparce itself has no other features. You could say this is just a 'gimmick' so players can have more playhours to complete their Pokémon collection.
