25 – Yungoos/Gumshoos

Type: Normal

Yungoos Classification: Loitering Pokemon

Yungoos Pokedex: With its sharp fangs, it will bite anything. It did not originally live in Alola but was imported from another region. It wanders around in a never-ending search for food. At dusk, it collapses from exhaustion and falls asleep on the spot.

Gumshoos Classification: Stake-out Pokemon

Gumshoos Pokedex: When it finds a trace of its prey, it patiently stakes out the location…but it’s always snoozing by nightfall. It adores having Rattata and Raticate for dinner, but as it’s diurnal, it never encounters them. This Pokémon boasts incredible patience.

Explanation: When Yungoos was first announced, the Internet collectively lost its mind because oh no, he bears a striking resemblance to the upcoming Mr. President. We later learned that of course this resemblance was unintentional and that, beyond the surface, the mongoose Pokemon bear no resemblance to The Donald. Instead, the pair form a balanced dynamic of youthful vigor and elderly wisdom. If only either member of this pair were worth much in battle. No, in-game Yungoos and Gumshoos are unremarkable, and we’re certain to see Wonder Trade inundated with these for months, all sporting variations on “Trump” as a nickname.
