Wooloo

Wooloo (; Japanese: , Hepburn: ) is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Sword and Shield, they were inspired by the large amount of sheep native to Britain, the location on which Sword and Shields Galar region is based. Since their initial appearance they have appeared in both Pokémon GO and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise related to the franchise. In addition, they appear in manga and anime adaptations of the Pokémon franchise, with their appearances in the latter being voiced by Rikako Aikawa in Japanese, and Erica Mendez in English.

Classified as a Normal-type Pokémon, Wooloo appears as a short, round sheep with white wool that is used heavily in the Galar region. Their woolly body also protects them from bodily harm, causing them to bounce instead. Naturally anxious, instead of walking or running they tend to roll forwards and backwards. Once they have acquired enough experience, they can evolve into a stronger form, Dubwool.
