'''Elemental monkeys''' is a fan term that specifically refers to {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and their respective evolutions—{{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}. The name is derived from the fact that all of the Pokémon are based on monkeys with a different type ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectively) and all of them share similar [[move]]s, appearance and identical [[base stats]]. They also evolve with the corresponding [[evolutionary stone]]s. | '''Elemental monkeys''' is a fan term that specifically refers to {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and their respective evolutions—{{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}.
