Foongus (Japanese: タマゲタケ Tamagetake) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves into Amoonguss starting at level 39.
Biology
Foongus is a white, mushroom-like Pokémon with a cap that looks quite similar to a Poké Ball. It has stubby, digit-less arms, a tiny mouth with large pink lips, and pinprick-like dark eyes. A theory suggests that the developer of modern Poké Balls actually modeled it after Foongus's cap due to liking the Pokémon, although this is supposition.
Foongus uses its Poké Ball-like pattern to lure people and Pokémon in grassy areas, before releasing a cloud of poisonous spores to defend itself. The spores can be used as a stomach medicine if thoroughly dried. Foongus moves by either hopping or turning on its side and rolling on its cap. It is one of the shortest Grass-type Pokémon. It prefers damp places, such as around trees.
Evolution
Foongus evolves into Amoonguss.

Trivia
- Foongus, along with its evolution, is similar to Voltorb and Electrode in that it resembles a Poké Ball.
- However, unlike Voltorb and Electrode, it only has a Poké Ball design on it, instead of being in the shape of one.
- Likewise, it features the whole design, complete with the circle resembling the button in the middle (contrary to Voltorb's evolution line having just the shape and general colors, and according to the Pokédex, being transformed Poké Balls themselves).
- Foongus's Shiny form's coloration is reminiscent of that of the Master Ball. It shares this trait with its evolved form.
- Foongus and its evolved form share their species name with Paras, Parasect, Shroomish, and Breloom. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
- All six Pokémon also share a common move, Spore; and Ability, Effect Spore.
- In Pokémon GO, they all give more Stardust than most other Pokémon upon capture.
- Foongus is tied with Paldean Wooper for the lowest base Speed stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.
- According to Ken Sugimori, Foongus, Amoonguss, Ferroseed, and Ferrothorn were all designed by the same designer.[1]
Origin
Foongus appears to be based on Amanita muscaria or mushrooms of the Agaricus genus, due to it being Poison-type. Like Voltorb and its evolved form, the idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a mimic, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs. It tarning as an useful object and its poison type could also generally be a reference to poisonous mushrooms which look like edible mushrooms.
Name origin
Foongus may be a combination of fool (to deceive) and fungus. Together with its evolution, their names are a corruption of the phrase, "Fungus among us." This is confirmed by Ali the Student in North Province (Area Two) in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Tamagetake may be a combination of 玉 tama (sphere), 魂消る tamageru (to be astonished), and 茸 take (mushroom).
