Read more ↓Yungoos is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, native to the Alola region. It is known as the Loitering Pokémon, a descriptor that aptly reflects its behavior. Yungoos, and its evolution Gumshoos, are characterized by their long, slender bodies and perpetually hungry nature. They are not native to Alola but were introduced to the region to help control the population of another invasive species, Rattata and Raticate. Yungoos are constantly on the hunt for food, preferring fresh, living prey, which leads them to patrol streets and paths with a determined gait. Their keen senses, particularly their sense of smell, aid them in tracking down their next meal. Despite their seemingly aggressive demeanor, they are primarily driven by their insatiable appetite. In the anime, Yungoos and Gumshoos often appear as partners to various trainers and are depicted as diligent and persistent. Their role in the ecosystem as natural pest control highlights a practical side to Pokémon in the Alola region, making them a significant part of its lore.
