DunsparceLegend Maker #31 Pokémon Card

Dunsparce is a unique Normal-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation II's Johto region. Known as the Land Snake Pokémon, its appearance is often described as a winged, drill-tailed serpent, though its wings are too small for sustained flight, leading to its ground-dwelling habits. Its Pokédex entries consistently highlight its reclusive nature; it prefers to live deep underground, rarely emerging to the surface. When it does appear, it's often a sign of impending weather changes, particularly when it senses cold. Dunsparce's diet is believed to consist primarily of roots and subterranean insects, which it unearths with its drill-like tail. Its behavior is generally timid, and it will quickly burrow away if disturbed. In the games, Dunsparce is notable for its move pool, which includes a wide variety of TMs and HMs, allowing it to learn moves from many different types, making it surprisingly versatile despite its unassuming stats. In the anime, Dunsparce has made several appearances, often portrayed as a rare or mysterious Pokémon that characters struggle to find or understand. It does not evolve into or from any other Pokémon, making it a standalone creature in the Pokémon ecosystem. Its cultural significance often lies in its status as a "joke" Pokémon due to its design and perceived weakness, yet it has a devoted fanbase that appreciates its unique charm and potential for unexpected strategies. Type matchups for a Normal-type are straightforward: it takes neutral damage from most types, is weak to Fighting, and immune to Ghost.
