Gumshoos (デカグース Dekaguusu) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
Biology
Physiology
Gumshoos shares many similarities to its previous evolution. Its main fur is brown, but the top and underside are yellow in color. Gumshoos has three, black toes on either paw. Unlike its pre-evolution, Gumshoos is now in the bipedal position, and is much larger in general. It has large white eyes with horizontally-slitted pupils and it has spikes on its fur that resembles a detective's trench coat collar.
Behavior
Gumshoos deploy the opposite strategy from Yungoos when hunting. Instead of prowling around for its prey, Gumshoos stakes out its prey's usual routes and waits for it come by. It's known to be patient and persistent.
Natural abilities
Being a normal-type Pokémon, it possesses no special abilities. However, it tends to bite. Unlike its previous evolution, it is very patient and can stay in the same area for a long time.
Evolution
Gumshoos evolves from Yungoos at level 20 during the day.
