Tag: Pangoro

I just found out Pangoro can learn the TM for Infestation. Let me repeat that: My overweight muscle bear can infest other pokemon. How can you be INFESTED by a BEAR?!? Bill, could you please tell me how this works before morbid curiosity kicks in and I teach it to him? Or before I go and catch a Mr. Mine to teach this TM to instead. (Turns out you can also be infested by clowns.) Please stop me Bill. Help.

Editorial note: Bill, this question is not to be answered with bear puns. —LH

Oh, Infestation from a pangoro is quite unbearable, anonymous.

Bill, I swear to literally all the gods. —LH

In all seriousness, the pokémon themselves don’t do the infestation. Rather, they summon swarms of bugs that overwhelm their opponents. This is why it’s difficult to escape while the infestation is active: there are so many bugs swarming your pokémon that you simply can’t withdraw them.

Happy battling, anonymous!

Pancham and Pangoro

{This and the following four entries are by request of @the-firebrand. Thanks! 😀 —The Mod}

Pancham
The Playful Pokémon
Type: Fighting
Official Registration #: 674
Entry: This two-foot-tall panda pokémon will do anything it can to make its enemies take it seriously. Thus, it frequently adopts a confident swagger on the battlefield while chewing on a leaf to make it look tougher than it actually is. In truth, this is a cuddly pokémon that can be easily distracted with petting, although this is rarely recommended, not because it can pack a powerful punch (although it certainly can) but instead because this embarrasses it immensely.

Pangoro
The Daunting Pokémon
Type: Dark/Fighting
Official Registration #: 675
Entry: The evolved form of pancham, by battle experience if raised alongside a dark-type pokémon. Unlike its previous form, pangoro are notorious for being seven-foot-tall, 300-pound mountains of muscle, claws, and rage. If confronted with anything that even slightly resembles bullying, it will charge the offender and smash them with their giant paws, which are strong enough to snap telephone poles in half. Incidentally, this reaction also applies to anyone who subjected them to humiliation as pancham, so to those of you who had a habit of cuddling your pancham because they were fuzzy and adorable … never evolve your pancham. Ever.
