About Hippopotas
Hippopotas is a Ground-type Pokémon, the Hippo Pokémon (No. 449), introduced in Generation IV and native to the Sinnoh region.
Though large and languid, Hippopotas is difficult to detect due to its tendency to burrow into and lurk beneath the soil. When agitated or excited, it expels sand from its nostrils.
