Passimian (Japanese: ナゲツケサル Nagetsukesaru) is a Fighting-type Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of Oranguru.

Biology

Passimian is a black-and-white Pokémon resembling a powerfully built lemur with broad shoulders. Most of its fur is white, but it has a black muzzle, upper body, hands, feet and ankles, and tail. However, there is a wavy white ring near the tip of its tail. The fur around its head and face is longer and forms many small clumps, especially around the top of its head and under its chin. On top of its head is a pale green helmet similar to half of a coconut shell. The helmet has a small orange blaze on the front and two leaves that stand up straight attached to the back. Its eyes are partially hidden by its headwear, but its yellow sclerae and reddish-orange irises are visible. There are two oval, green markings or leaves on each shoulder and its chest. In each area, one marking is vertical and has a horizontal one below it. Passimian has humanoid hands and feet, and a long tail with a rounded tip. It is often seen carrying a large Berry that looks like a green coconut.

This Pokémon creates troops of 20 to 30 members. Each troop has a leader that picks 10 of the strongest members to search for food. The leader is also in charge of choosing the mark that distinguishes the troop and is worn on the member’s arms. This Pokémon’s battle strategy involves throwing Berries at opponents, hard ones for damage and soft ones to obscure vision, and confusing opponents by throwing the Berry to other troop members. Through rigorous training, the troop improves its coordination, teamwork, and skill in handling Berries. Some Passimian are unable to handle the intensity, and flee from the troop. In place of a troop leader, a captive Passimian looks to its Trainer for leadership. If its Trainer has poor form when throwing Poké Balls, it will refuse to obey.

Trivia

Origin

Passimian is directly based on a Black-and-white ruffed lemur, to the point where it is almost a perfect reflection of the original species. It also appears to draw inspiration from American football players.

Real lemurs also live in large groups, known as troops. They are known to be very cooperative in finding food, protection, and taking care of young. Some lemur species are also known to do a behavior called "mobbing", where they will gather together as a group to intimidate a predator. This seems to be similar to Passimian's berry-tossing teamwork behavior.

Name origin

Passimian may be a combination of pass and simian. It also seems to be a play on the word Prosimian, the animal group that lemurs belong to.

Nagetsukesaru may be a combination of 投げつける nagetsukeru (to throw) and 猿 saru (monkey).
