Yungoos (ヤングース Yanguusu) is a Normal-type Pokémon of the 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 eat without manners. It roams around all day searching for prey (Rattata in particular) but at nightfall quickly loses all stamina and falls asleep.
Natural abilities
Being a normal-type Pokémon, it possesses no special abilities. However, it tends to bite.
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.
