Phanpy is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, making its debut in the Johto region. Known as the Long Nose Pokémon, Phanpy is a playful and affectionate creature that resembles a blue elephant calf. Its natural habitat includes mountainous regions and forests, where it can often be found digging for food with its strong trunk or playing with other Phanpy. Phanpy's diet primarily consists of berries and roots, which it unearths with surprising strength for its size. In terms of behavior, Phanpy are generally gentle but can be quite boisterous, often playfully bumping into people or other Pokémon with its trunk, which it uses as a sign of affection. This behavior is sometimes mistaken for aggression, but it is merely Phanpy's way of showing fondness, though it doesn't always realize its own strength.

Phanpy evolves into Donphan starting at Level 25. As a Ground-type, Phanpy is strong against Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, and Steel types, but weak against Water, Grass, and Ice types. In the Pokémon games, Phanpy is often encountered early in the Johto region, making it a popular choice for players looking for a reliable Ground-type. In the anime, Ash Ketchum catches a Phanpy that later evolves into a Donphan, showcasing its journey from a cute, playful Pokémon to a powerful battle companion. Phanpy's endearing design and playful nature have made it a fan favorite, embodying the charm and innocence often associated with baby Pokémon. Its robust build and powerful trunk also hint at the strength it will possess as a Donphan.
