Drizzile (Japanese: ジメレオン Jimereon) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
It evolves from Sobble starting at level 16 and evolves into Inteleon starting at level 35.
Biology
Drizzile is a slim, lizard-like Pokémon. It is primarily blue with a white belly and a dark blue mark above it. It has lime green mitten-like hands and two-digit feet. On its face, it has small nostrils, half-lidded eyes with green eyelids, a thin line connecting its eyes, and a blue dot next to each eye. On its head are three hairlike structures, two dark blue and one purple. One of the structures sticks up like a cowlick. The other two droop over the face and cover one eye, resembling "emo" bangs. Inside its mouth, Drizzile has a long, mucus-coated tongue that can be used for catching prey or attacking opponents.[1] Like its pre-evolved form, Sobble, it has a chameleon tail that swirls inward.
Drizzile uses special pores in its palms to secrete moisture, which it forms into water balloons that it uses to attack. Drizzile is highly intelligent, capable of devising strategies or using its surroundings to enact hit-and-run tactics. However, it is also exceptionally lazy and prefers to not do anything unless it has to. It makes its home inside tree hollows or rocks. It is very cautious, and lays out traps everywhere around its territory to keep enemies out. Like its evolutionary relatives, it also has the ability to camouflage itself when wet.[1] Drizzile typically moves on all fours, although it can stand and walk on two legs. Drizzile will use its long, slimy tongue to first attack its prey with blinding speeds before finishing it off with great skill.

Trivia
Origin
Drizzile appears to be based on the veiled chameleon due to its color scheme being similar to that of the males. The way this species collects moisture on its body could explain its Water typing, and the way the water droplets drip from the top of its head into its mouth could resemble tears, which could explain the tear-like patches on Drizzile's face. Its color scheme also suggests that it may also be based on the Fiji crested iguana and the closely related Fiji banded iguana.
Name origin
Drizzile may be a combination of drizzle and reptile.
Jimereon may be a combination of じめじめ jimejime (damp, humid, clammy) and chameleon.
