Read more ↓Dottler is a Bug/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII, originating from the Galar region. It is the Stage 1 evolution of Blipbug and evolves into Orbeetle. Dottler is known for its unique, dome-shaped shell, which it uses for protection and as a mobile observatory. Its Pokédex entries often highlight its psychic abilities, which it employs to monitor its surroundings and prepare for its next evolutionary stage. Dottler's behavior is typically docile, spending much of its time inside its shell, absorbing information about the world. In the Pokémon games, Dottler often appears in early-game routes, providing players with an accessible Bug/Psychic-type option. Its evolution, Orbeetle, plays a more significant role with its Gigantamax form. Dottler's design, resembling an insect pupa with a complex geometric shell, gives it a distinct appearance among Bug-type Pokémon, emphasizing its transitional state and intellectual development. Its psychic nature adds depth to its character, suggesting a creature of contemplation and hidden power, rather than just a simple bug.
