Ambipom is a purple, simian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two tails, each with a large, rounded hand with three red-tipped fingers. The tails also have a cuff of a rounded frill on the wrists. The bases of Ambipom's tails also have a similar frill. It has round ears with red insides. Ambipom has an arrangement of a split hair sticking out from the top of its head. These strands of hair are longer on a female. It has a purple, triangular nose and wide eyes.

Ambipom can leap from tree to tree with brilliant speed. To eat, it deftly shucks nuts with its two tails. As it has two hands on its tails, it rarely uses its arms. Ambipom works in large colonies in heavily wooded areas and makes rings by linking tails with another Ambipom, apparently in friendship. It also shows affection by using both of its tails to wrap and squeeze people. It lives along with its young, {{p|Aipom}}. It lives high in the treetops of tropical, temperate, and even boreal forests, using its tails for balance as it swings from branch to branch. In the [[Alola]] [[region]], while searching for comfortable trees, Ambipom tend to get into territorial disputes with {{p|Passimian}}, in which they win half the time.

==In the anime==

====[[Dawn's Ambipom]]====

Ambipom debuted in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', where {{an|Dawn}}'s Aipom, formerly owned by {{Ash}}, evolved. Upon evolving, she matured greatly and became one of Dawn's most talented Pokémon, being used in many of her {{pkmn|Contest}}s. In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', she was given to [[O]] in order to train and become a ping-pong champion at his training center in [[Vermilion City]].

In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', three {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Ambipom were living at the [[Azoth Kingdom]].

Ambipom is a combination of the prefix ''[[Wiktionary:ambi-|ambi-]]'' (from the Latin for ''both''), referring to ambidexterity, and a corruption of ''palm''.

Eteboth may be a combination of 猿公 ''etekō'' (monkey), 得手 ''ete'', meaning strong point, and ''both'', possibly referring to the ambidextrous nature of the hands on its tail.
