Overview

Watchog never blink or close their eyes, even when submerged underwater. Like Patrat, they live in large groups (though these groups are known as “clans” rather than “mobs”). These Pokémon can go for days without sleep and can remain standing completely still for similar periods of time.  Watchog are constantly on the lookout for danger. Members of a clan will arrange themselves so that they can see approaching foes from every angle. When Watchog spot trouble, their tails will stand straight on end and the fluorescent bands on their body along with their eyes will glow, both alerting their allies and unnerving approaching enemies; the initial flash of light has been known to temporarily blind attackers. Their friends will scramble back into their tunnels and shovel as many seeds as they can in their cheek pouches (like Patrat, Watchog keep their food in a communal pile underground), surfacing back up to shoot kernels at the foes. Watchog have great night vision, on par with their vision in broad daylight.

Evolves from Patrat at Lvl 20
