Phanpy (Japanese: ゴマゾウ Gomazou) is a Ground-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Donphan starting at level 25.

Biology

Phanpy is a small, blue elephant-like Pokémon. It has two red pads on each of its big ears and another on the bridge of its trunk. Its trunk is sensitive, and its ears serve as fans to coll itself down. Despite its small size, Phanpy is quite strong, and can easily carry an adult human on its back.

It is a timid Pokémon that flees very easily. However, it has a very affectionate side and can be very friendly, even if it doesn't know its own strength. During the deserted morning hours, Phanpy comes ashore where it deftly uses its trunk to take a shower. When other members of its species gather around, they thoroughly douse each other with water. Phanpy can be seen drying its soaking-wet bodies at the edge of water. For its nest, Phanpy digs a vertical pit in the ground at the edge of a river. It marks the area around its nest with its trunk to let the other Phanpy know that the area has been claimed. While it is normally found in rocky regions and terrain, it also likes lakes and watersides.

Trivia

Origin

This Pokémon is based on an elephant calf.

Name origin

Phanpy is derived from elephant. Py may have been added to designate Phanpy in the diminutive to reflect its small size and its infantile appearance.

Gomazou may be a combination of 当歳駒 tōsaigoma (yearling) and 象 (elephant).
