Biology

Clobbopus is a small, off-white cephalopod Pokémon with small, blue eyes with horizontal slit-shaped pupils, and an orange mask pattern around them. It has a rather large head with four orange spots on its forehead, and small, orange ears or siphon ports on each side. It has several small tentacles that it uses to get around, and two large tentacles that act as arms. Each of these large tentacles has an orange suction cup on the underside and large, indigo bumps on the end, with an orange suction cup that resembles boxing gloves. Its dot-like mouth is located underneath its tentacles.

Clobbopus has easily-torn off tentacles, which allow it to escape from predators; these tentacles can be regrown later. They have the intelligence of a three-year-old human. It is a very curious creature and often investigates things through punching them with its tentacles.

This Pokémon has no Pokédex entries in Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus.
Sword It's very curious, but its means of investigating things is to try to punch them with its tentacles. The search for food is what brings it onto land.
Shield Its tentacles tear off easily, but it isn't alarmed when that happens—it knows they'll grow back. It's about as smart as a three-year-old.

Trivia

Origin

Clobbopus appears to be based on an octopus and a boxer. This connection may have been made from the observed behavior that octopuses supposedly enjoy "punching" fish unprovoked.[1]

Name origin

Clobbopus may be a combination of clobber and octopus.

Tatakko may be a combination of 叩く tataku (to strike), attack, 蛸 tako (octopus), and possibly 子 ko (child), referring to its childish mentality.
