The character
Inteleon is the final evolution of the Sobble line, known in the Pokédex as the Secret Agent Pokémon. It evolves from Drizzile and is recognized for the retractable membranes over its eyes that let it spot weak points on opponents, which it strikes with high-pressure water fired from its fingertips. It is one of the starter Pokémon introduced in the Galar region games.
