Whismur (Japanese: ゴニョニョ Gonyonyo) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Loudred starting at level 20, who evolves into Exploud starting at level 40.

Biology

Physiology

It has a spherical, mauve-colored body with two stubby arms. Its ears are long and rabbit-like with yellow tips, and it has a small, plug-like tail with a yellow crescent marking above it at its back. Whismur appears to have three holes, one beneath each of its ears and one on its tail.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Due to breathing through its ear canals, it has no need to breathe and thus can cry continually. For this reason, it stops screaming if its ear covers are shut.

Behavior

Normally Whismur make murmurs that are only barely audible, but Whismur are scared very easily, and often use their shrill cries to try and scare off other wild Pokémon. And once it screams, its cries scare it into crying harder, eventually exhausting itself to sleep.

Habitat

Cave Pokémon

Whismur like tall grass, but prefer caves like the Desert Underpass and the Rusturf Tunnel.
