Yungoos (ヤングース, Yanguusu) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Biology

Physiology

Yungoos is a long-bodied mongoose-like Pokémon 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.

Behavior

Because of its long body, a Yungoos always gets hungry and they eat without manners. They roam around all day searching for prey (Rattata in particular) but at nightfall quickly lose all stamina and fall asleep.

To hunt, Yungoos stake out a particular route and then patrol it back and forth for prey. They do not stray from their paths, which they try to set in areas safe from larger predators. They strongly prefer live prey and will only scavenge as an absolute last resort.

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.

Natural abilities

Being a normal-type Pokémon, they possess no special abilities. However, they tends to bite with their sharp teeth that can crush bone with little effort.

They also possess strong stomachs with powerful digestive acids that make quick work of any meal.

Evolution

Yungoos evolves into Gumshoos at level 20 in the morning.

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.
