Floatzel is a Water type Pokemon introduced in Generation IV. It evolves from Buizel starting at level 26. Take a look below for 23 awesome and fascinating facts about Floatzel.

4. It has two pointed blue fins on its arms, two aligned, backward-swept, pointed fins on its head, and two tails.

5. The yellow flotation device, which seems to be made of rubber or a similar substance, gives the impression of an inflatable life vest.

6. The flotation sac goes in a kind of ring behind its head, down in front of its arms, then back behind its back above the tails.

7. When it lays on its back, the flotation sac could also be interpreted as a sort of inflatable dinghy using its tails as a propeller and its fins as oars.
