Ambipom (Japanese: エテボース Eteboth) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Aipom when leveled up while knowing Double Hit.

Biology

Ambipom is a purple, simian Pokémon with two tails, each with a large, rounded hand with three red-tipped fingers. The tails also have a cuff of a rounded frill on the wrists. The bases of Ambipom's tails also have a similar frill. It has round ears with red insides. Ambipom has an arrangement of a split hair sticking out from the top of its head. These strands of hair are longer on a female. It has a purple, triangular nose and wide eyes.

Ambipom can leap from tree to tree with brilliant speed. To eat, it deftly shucks nuts with its two tails. As it has two hands on its tails, it rarely uses its arms. Ambipom works in large colonies in heavily wooded areas and makes rings by linking tails with another Ambipom, apparently in friendship. It lives along with its young, Aipom.

Major appearances

Dawn's Ambipom

Dawn's Aipom, formerly Ash's, evolved into an Ambipom in Journey to the Unown!. Upon evolving, she matured greatly and became one of Dawn's most talented Pokémon, being used in many of her Contests. She was later given to O in To Thine Own Pokémon Be True! to train to become a ping pong champion at his training center in Vermilion City.

Minor appearances

A couple of Ambipom could be seen living in the Azoth Kingdom in Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Aibo

Gold's Aipom, Aibo, evolved into an Ambipom prior to his battle with the legendary Arceus. However, as the story moves back to a few weeks before the fight, it wasn't until Pleased as Punch With Parasect that he was finally shown. This event, however, distressed Togebo, being the only Pokémon on his team that was in his basic stage.

Trivia

Origin

Ambipom appears to have been based on a monkey, with an exaggerated concept of a prehensile tail. It may be specifically based on the squirrel monkey, which is similar in appearance, and also shares its large smile with cymbal monkeys. It is also similar to an ahuizotl, a creature of Aztec mythology with monkey hands and a fifth human hand on its tail.

Name origin

Ambipom is a combination of the prefix ambi- (from the Latin for both), referring to ambidexterity, and a corruption of palm.

Eteboth may be a combination of 猿公 etekō (monkey), 得手 ete, meaning strong point, and both, possibly referring to the ambidextrous nature of the hands on its tail.
