Panpour is a simian, blue-and-cream Pokémon. It has oval eyes that are usually seen closed, large ears with light blue insides, and a tiny, black nose. There is a puffy, wave-like crest on top of its head. Nutrient-rich water is stored in this crest. It also possesses a blue, frilled-like feature on its neck and upper shoulders. Its muzzle, lower body, and skinny forelimbs are cream-colored, and its hands seem to have no fingers, aside from a thumb. Its small feet both have three toes each. Its long tail has a clover-shaped tip. Panpour can keep itself damp or water plants by spraying water from its tail. It is mostly found near water sources.
Panpour, the Spray Pokémon. Panpour lived in forests long ago, but developed a body that makes it easy to live near water. It can store water in the tufts on its head.
In PMBW02, Cress uses a Panpour against Red's Clefairy when he tries to instigate a fight between Cress and his brothers Cilan and Chili. The three brothers use their Pokémon against Clefairy, however, their group attack backfires when Clefairy uses the effects of Pansear, Panpour, and Pansage's attacks to make green tea.
Panpour and its evolution are the only non-starter Pokémon that can have Torrent as a legally obtainable Ability; in this case, as a Hidden Ability.
Panpour, Pansage, and Pansear were all designed by Takao Unno.[1]
Origin
Panpour is based on a monkey,[1] with the top of its head resembling a fountain, a geyser, or a water spout. It may also be a visual pun on Sea-Monkeys.
Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour were specifically created as partner Pokémon for Cilan, Chili and Cress, the Gym Leaders of Striaton Gym. As Striaton Gym doubles as a restaurant, these Pokémon were designed around cooking as a theme, and their hands were designed to resemble oven mitts.[1] Additionally, Panpour, along with its two contemporaries, seems to inspired by the three wise monkeys motif; with its eyes closed, Panpour represents "see no evil".
Name origin
Panpour may be a combination of Pan (the genus of chimpanzees) and pour.
Hiyappu may be a combination of 冷や hiya (cool water) and ape.
