Oranguru (Japanese: ヤレユータン, Hepburn: Yareyuutan) is a normal/psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is exclusive to Pokémon Moon.

Biology

Physiology

Oranguru is a simian Pokémon resembling an orangutan. While most of its body is covered in white fur, its hands, feet, and snout are bare with its light gray skin visible. The fur around its head and under its chin is longer and creates the impression of a long beard. It has a broad, flat nose and a black area around its eyes. Underneath each eye is a yellow ring marking, which is encircle by a light blue ring marking. In the center of its forehead is a yellow marking shaped like a four-pointed star. A cape of purple fur covers its back and is divided into many wavy clumps with strands of orange and light blue throughout. Oranguru holds a fan created from green leaves woven together with its own purple fur.

Behavior

This solitary Pokémon spends its time deep in the forest, meditating high up in the trees. While it is not normally active, it will provide food to hungry Pokémon and give medicine to injured ones. It has even been known to use human tools or items, including Poké Balls. It has a lofty attitude and will give other Pokémon orders. This can make them difficult Pokémon for Trainers to handle. Ancient people actually thought Oranguru were people and called them the "people of the forests." Oranguru does not get along with others of its kind, often battling out their wits for superiority. It will also occasionally venture to the beach to match wits with Slowking.

Natural Abilities

Oranguru is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Instruct.

Evolution

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of Passimian.

Trivia

• While not an evolution of Passimian, it is considered a counterpart of it, as it is a version exclusive like Passimian as well as being of two types that one (Normal) weak to Passimian and the other (Psychic) strong against it.
• Oranguru is one of three Pokemon that are Normal/Psychic type. The other two are Girafarig and Meloetta (in Aria Forme).
• Oranguru drew comparisons to Harambe upon its debut, as previously Harambe (a gorilla shot and killed at a zoo) was petitioned by fans to be commemorated as a Pokemon. However, the official Pokemon Company has denied this.

Origin

• Oranguru is based on an orangutan.
• It is also loosely based on Uesugi Kenshin and Zhuge Liang.

Etymology

• Oranguru is a combination of the words Orangutan (a species of primates) and Guru (a teacher that is wise and influential).
• Its Japanese name Yareutan is a combination of Yare (means “do it”) and Orangutan. If speaks “yareyare”, it means “whew/good grief”.

Names in other languages

• English, Italian and Spainish: Oranguru
• French: Gouroutan
• German: Kommandutan
• Chinese: 智挥猩 (Mainland, simplified) / 智揮猩 (Mainland, traditional / Taiwan)
• Korean: 하랑우탄
