Panpour (Japanese: ヒヤップ Hiyappu) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Simipour when exposed to a Water Stone.

Panpour is one of three elemental monkeys. The other two are the Grass-type Pansage and the Fire-type Pansear.

Biology

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.

Trivia

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.
