Yungoos (ヤングース Yanguusu) is a Normal-type Pokémon of Alola region.

Biology

A diurnal creature, Yungoos was introduced to Alola to deal with the invasive Rattata. However, as they hunted during the day the Rattata became nocturnal to avoid the new daytime predator.

Physiology

Yungoos is a long-bodied mongoose-like Pokemon with yellow stripes on its brown coat, a patch of fur on its head resembling a toupee, and a mouth filled with large pointed teeth. It is clearly a mongoose due to the Pokedex entries that mention that Yungoos was introduced to control wild rodents on Alola, similar to mongeese that were introduced to Hawaii to deal with rat problems, but ended up killing native birds.

Behavior

Because of its long body, Yungoos always gets hungry and they eats without manners. It roams around all day searching for prey (Rattata in particular) but at nightfall quickly loses all stamina and falls asleep.

Pokédex entries

Pokédex Entries
Sun
With its sharp fangs, it will bite anything. It did not originally live in Alola but was imported from another region.
Moon
It wanders around in a never-ending search for food. At dusk, it collapses from exhaustion and falls asleep on the spot.
Ultra Sun
Its stomach takes up most of its long torso. It's a big eater, so the amount Trainers have to spend on its food is no laughing matter.
Ultra Moon
Although it will eat anything, it prefers fresh living things so it matches down streets in search of prey.

Origin

Yungoos is based on a weasel or mongoose.

Etymology

Yungoos, as well as its Japanese name, officially trademarked as Youngoose is a combination of young and mongoose.
