Watchog, known as Miruhog in Japanese, is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Patrat starting at level 20. Watchog is a bipedal, meerkat-like Pokémon with large cheeks and a single, pointed incisor sticking out of its mouth. It is mainly reddish-brown with beige cheeks and neck. There is yellow striping on its chest and tail. Its hands, feet, and tail tip are white. Its red eyes have small black pupils and a yellow stripe. Black markings accentuate the eyes at their outer ends. Its tail is almost exclusively depicted standing up straight, although it can also be kept in a relaxed position. Watchog has luminescent compounds in its body that allow its stripes and eyes to glow. It uses this ability to threaten predators. Its cheeks can hold a large amount of seeds, which it collects and spits at its opponents. Watchog possesses night vision and can view its surroundings in the darkness. It's classified as the Lookout Pokémon, always vigilant and observing its surroundings, raising its tail and making its stripes glow when danger is spotted.
