Read more ↓Hippopotas is a charming Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV, making its debut in the Sinnoh region. Known as the Hippo Pokémon, it evolves into the formidable Hippowdon starting at level 34. Hippopotas is characterized by its sand-colored hide and the unique ability to expel sand from its nostrils, a behavior crucial for protecting itself from germs and maintaining its health, as it strongly dislikes getting wet. These Pokémon are typically found in arid, desert-like environments, where sand is abundant. Their diet primarily consists of mineral-rich sand, which they filter through their mouths. In the Pokémon anime, Hippopotas often appear as playful and somewhat clumsy creatures, emphasizing their aversion to water and their reliance on sand. Their distinct appearance and evolutionary line contribute to their recognition within the Pokémon universe, offering a unique blend of cuteness and rugged desert survival. Its design, reminiscent of a baby hippopotamus, appeals to many fans, making it a memorable early-game Pokémon for trainers exploring the Sinnoh region.
