Binacle (Japanese:カメテテKametete) is a dual-typeRock/WaterPokémon introduced inGeneration VI.

Itevolves intoBarbaracle starting atlevel 39.

Biology

Binacle is aPokémon that resembles a goose barnacle. It also has the appearance of a hand and arm; the “hand” serves as its head. Its head is brown with puffy orange cheeks and an orange marking where a nose would be located. On top of its head are three long claws. Its body is orange with a white band around the middle.

Binacle is always found as a pair living in a single gray rock, and they need to cooperate with each other in order to survive. It moves by stretching and contracting its bodies and yanking the rock along in a hopping motion. The pair has a tendency of squabbling with one another. When they do, one of them will move and find a different rock with a different Binacle to live alongside with. Binacle eats seaweed that washes up on the shoreline.

Trivia

• Binacle is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 306.
• Binacle is the favorite Pokémon ofTomoaki Imakuni.^[1]

Origin

Binacle seems to be based on thegoose barnacle, due to their general shape and use of a connective "stalk" to cling to rocks. Considering it survives together with a second Binacle, it may possibly be a reference to the rarer, same speciessymbiosis. Considering its hand-like body, and its eyes within its "palms", Binacle may have also been based on thehamsa.

Name origin

Binacle may be a combination ofbi- (prefix for two) andbarnacle,knuckle, and possiblybinnacle (housing for a ship's compass).

Kametete may be a combination of 亀の手kame-no-te (Japanese goose barnacle),tête (French for head), and 手te (hand).
