Buizel (ブイゼル, Buizeru?, Buoysel in original Japanese language versions) is a sea weasel Pokémon that uses a flotation sac that acts as an inflatable collar in order to float on the top of the water. Its name is a portmanteau of the words buoyancy, meaning to float, and weasel, the animal that it is based on. When it dives, its sac deflates and it uses its forked tail to swim by rotating it like a screw. Males have two spots on their back, while females only have one.
In the anime, Dawn captures a renegade Buizel in the episode "Buizel Your Way Out of This." Later on in the series Buizel is involved in an epic battle with a Lucario between Ash and Maylene at the Veilstone Gym and also learns the attack move Water Pulse.
In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, a Ranger School friend, Keith, has a Buizel as his Partner Pokémon, which he met in the Fiore region.
