From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Clobbopus (Japanese: タタッコ Tatakko) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
It evolves into Grapploct when leveled up while knowing Taunt.
Biology
Clobbopus is a small, off-white cephalopod Pokémon. It has a rather large head with six orange spots on its forehead, an orange mask-shaped pattern on its face, and a small, orange siphon on the left side. It has small, blue eyes with horizontal, slit-shaped pupils. Clobbopus has six small tentacles that it uses to get around, and two large tentacles that act as arms. These large tentacles have rounded indigo bumps on each end, resembling boxing gloves. Each of the tentacles are lined with orange suction cups. Clobbopus's underside is indigo and contains its mouth, which is circular in shape and has two sharp beak-like protrusions.
Clobbopus has easily torn tentacles, which allow it to escape from predators; these tentacles can be regrown later. Its intelligence is comparable to that of a three-year-old human. It is a very curious creature and often investigates things by punching them with its tentacles. It normally lives underwater, but is known to surface onto land to search for food.
Evolution

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. The orange markings on its head resemble the patterns on wrestling masks.
Name origin
Clobbopus may be a combination of clobber and octopus.
Tatakko may be a combination of 叩く tataku (to strike), 戦い tatakai (fight, battle), attack, 蛸 tako (octopus), and possibly 子 ko (child, referring to its childish mentality). It could also be a pun on 駄々っ子 dadakko (spoiled child), which is the name of its category in Japanese.
