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

Yungoos concept art

Concept artwork of Yungoos.

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.

  • Scarlet

    Its stomach fills most of its torso. It wanders the same path every day, searching for fresh food.

  • Violet

    It spends its waking hours searching endlessly for food. When Yungoos is hungry, its ferocity gains a certain edge.
