Phanpy (Japanese: ゴマゾウ Gomazou) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Donphan at level 25.

Biology

Physiology

Phanpy are blue elephant Pokémon that are quite small in stature. Unlike its evolved form, it has a cute appearence. It has two orange pads on each of its big ears and another on the bridge of its nose, which is also quite long.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Despite its small size, Phanpy is quite strong, and can easily carry an adult human on its back. It also has the ability to rollout just like its fully evolved form, Donphan. Its trunk is also quite sensitive.

Behavior

It is a timid Pokémon that flees very easily. However, it has a very affectionate side and can be very friendly, even if it doesn't know its own strength. They also like to play around in water, despite being a ground type.

Habitat

While it is normally found in rocky regions and terrain, it also likes lakes and watersides.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

It probably loves fruit. It seems to have an affinity with the Passho berry, as it is sometimes found with this berry.

In the anime

File:Phanpy anime.jpg
Phanpy in the anime}

Phanpy first appeared in Spell of the Unown, however, it was just a Pokémon that Molly Hale dreamed up and made real by the power of the Unown.

The first time a real Phanpy made an appearance was in Hatching a Plan. The Long Nose Pokémon hatched from an egg that Ash Ketchum received in Extreme Pokémon. Phanpy was the baby of Ash's team, but its power made up for lack of experience. Ash left Phanpy and the rest of his Pokémon (save for Pikachu) at Professor Oak's lab when he set out for the Hoenn region. Ash's Phanpy made a return to his team and evolved into Donphan in Reversing the Charges.

In the manga

Emerald uses a Phanpy in the Battle Pyramid for its ability to pick up items.

Sapphire Phanpy uses its long nose to shower itself. When others gather around, they thoroughly douse each other with water. These Pokémon can be seen drying their soaking-wet bodies at the edge of water.
Emerald Phanpy's big ears serve as broad fans. When it becomes hot, it flaps the ears busily to cool down. Even the young are very strong.

Trivia

  • In Generation II, it could learn Water Gun through breeding, probably a reference to elephants. Elephants suck water up into the trunk and then blow it into their mouth. Also, they inhale water to spray on their body during bathing. However, in later games, it can't learn Water Gun through breeding.

Origin

This Pokémon is based on an elephant calf.

Name origin

Phanpy's name is derived from the word elephant. Gomazou is probably a combination of 当歳駒 tōsaigoma, yearling, and 象 , elephant.
