Read more ↓Watchog, the Lookout Pokémon, is a Normal-type introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Patrat starting at level 20. Known for its keen eyesight and vigilant nature, Watchog often stands guard, using the stripes on its body to hypnotize foes. Its large, luminous eyes can glow in the dark, allowing it to spot danger from afar. In the wild, Watchog primarily inhabits forests and grasslands, often found near human settlements where it acts as a natural alarm system. Its diet consists mainly of berries and nuts, which it stores in its cheek pouches. Watchog's role in the Pokémon world extends beyond its utility as a lookout; it has appeared in the anime assisting trainers and in various Pokémon games as an early-game Normal-type staple. Its design, reminiscent of a meerkat or marmot, gives it a recognizable and somewhat quirky charm within the diverse Pokémon roster.
