Phanpy (Japanese:ゴマゾウGomazou) is aGround-typePokémon introduced inGeneration II.

Itevolves intoDonphan starting atlevel 25.

Biology

Phanpy is a small, horizon-blueproboscidPokémon that resembles a baby elephant. It has large, floppy ears, which it uses as fans to cool itself. There are two red pads on each ear and another on the bridge of its short trunk. Phanpy has a single nail on each of its four feet, and a short tail.

This small trunk is sensitive, yet strong. It can send a person flying with an affectionate, playful bump of its snout. The trunk is also strong enough to shatter any arm bones it hits. Additionally, this little Pokémon is easily capable of carrying an adult human on its back.

Phanpy is found inrocky terrain. To make its nest, it digs a vertical pit near the edge of a river. It displays ownership of this area by marking it with its trunk. In the deserted morning hours, Phanpy uses its trunk to shower in the river. Sometimes, groups of this Pokémon form and soak each other thoroughly. Afterwards, it can be seen drying its body near the edge of the river. The reason is Phanpy won't settle down until it is clean.

Trivia

• Phanpy can be seen as a parallel toTeddiursa: their evolutionary lines are exclusive to opposite versions ofPokémon Gold and Silver andPokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver (and are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations), they each have one evolved form prior toPokémon Legends: Arceus, and they both havePickup as anAbility and lose it upon Evolution.

Origin

Phanpy seems to be based on anelephantcalf. Its bright colors resemble modern children'stoys. The red pads on its snout and ears may be inspired by the fabrics and jewelry used to adorn elephants during variouscelebrations in India. Phanpy'sGround type likely comes from the fact that elephantswallow in mud and takesand baths to protect their skin and thermoregulate.

Its ability to curl itself and roll like a wheel appears to mimictires, which is a more obvious association inDonphan.

Name origin

Phanpy may be derived fromelephant and possiblyinfant or the diminutive suffix-y.

Gomazou may be a combination of 細かいkomakai (small, minute) and 象zō (elephant).
