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.
- 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.
IMDb suggests that Phanpy got its name from the movie The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence's character "Pompey", with Donphan getting its name from the character "Tom Doniphon".
