Gumshoos (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Gumshoos is a long-bodied {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a mongoose. While it moves on all fours, it is capable of standing on its hind legs with its hands locked behind its back, similar to a human. Most of its coat is brown with a yellow underside that extends over the top of its tail. It has an additional yellow stripe that starts on its forehead and ends between its shoulders. There are tufts of fur near its shoulders, hips, and around the base of its tail. These tufts in combination with its yellow underside create the impression of an open {{wp|trenchcoat}}. Its ears are rounded with a small notch and are located on the sides of its head. It has a short snout with a pink nose, a large mouth full of pointed teeth, eyes nearly hidden under its yellow stripe, and tufts of yellow fur on its chin. There are three black claws on each of its four short legs. Despite its length, Gumshoos is thick-bodied and has a wide, flat tail with longer fur on the tip.

==Trivia==

* Of all Totem Pokémon that can be battled in Alola, Totem Gumshoos is one of the only two Totem Pokémon that is battled in only one game out of the two versions — in this case, Sun and Ultra Sun. The other is {{p|Raticate|Totem Raticate}}.

* Gumshoos and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon that have {{a|Stakeout}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].

===Origin===

Gumshoos appears to be based on a {{wp|mongoose}} or {{wp|honey badger}} with detective motifs, reflecting how it stakes out {{p|Rattata}} nests. The fur atop its head resembles a {{wp|flat cap}} or a {{wp|combover}} hairstyle.
