Pancham (Japanese: ヤンチャム, Hepburn: Yanchamu) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
Biology
Physiology
Pancham is a little panda Pokémon. It has a black and white fur and has a green leaf sticking out of its mouth. It resembles Cubchoo and Teddiursa in that all three are bears in appearance.
Behavior
Pancham is always seen with its signature leaf in its mouth. To Pancham, the leaf may be able to show others that it can also be intimidating; as most intimidating people unusually chew on some kind of leaf. It seems to always glare intensely at the opponents, but since it's young, this act isn't persuasive at all and rarely success, thus it always gets easily disappointed. However, when it gets stroked on the head, it will suddenly show a face full of joy and kindness.
Evolution
Pancham can be evolved into a Pangoro at level 32 with a Dark-type Pokémon in the team.

Trivia
- Pancham is the second Pokémon to be based on a Panda, the first being Spinda.
- Pancham actually looks like a Panda physically and in coloration, unlike Spinda, which looks more like a spotted rabbit.
- Pancham and Riolu are the only pure Fighting-type Pokémon whose evolved form is not a pure Fighting-type, but instead a Fighting and Steel or Dark.
- Ironically, this makes them weak to their primary type.
Origin
