Trivia
- In Pokémon Crystal, 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 at all. It cannot even learn Water Pulse via TM 03.
- Although it is a Ground-type Pokémon, it learns no Ground-type moves by level-up.
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 zō, elephant. Phan obviously comes from elephant so -py might have been added to designate Phanpy's name in the diminutive to reflect its small size and its infantile appearance.
