Gumshoos (Japanese: デカグース, HepburnDekaguusu) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Gumshoos concept art

Concept artwork of Gumshoos.

Gumshoos shares many similarities to its previous evolution. Its main fur is brown, but the top and underside are yellow in color. Gumshoos has three, black toes on either paw. Unlike its pre-evolution, Gumshoos is now in the bipedal position, and is much larger in general. It has large white eyes with horizontally-slitted pupils and it has spikes on its fur that resembles a detective's trench coat collar.

Behavior[]

Gumshoos deploy the opposite strategy from Yungoos when hunting. Instead of prowling around for its prey, Gumshoos stakes out its prey's usual routes and waits for it come by. It's known to be patient and persistent.

These Pokémon are tenacious and will stick to a single target until they succeed. One trait these Pokémon do have in common with Yungoos, however, is that they are also diurnal. When the sun sets, Gumshoos will fall asleep right where they stand, exhausted from a day’s worth of keeping watch. Gumshoos do have a preference for Alolan Rattata and Raticate, which is why they were imported in the first place. They are rarely able to hunt them, however, because of how their prey have adapted. Though normally quite patient, Gumshoos will get very excited when they sight an unfortunate wild Rattata.

Natural abilities[]

Being a normal-type Pokémon, it possesses no special abilities. However, it tends to bite. Unlike its previous evolution, it is very patient and can stay in the same area for a long time.

Evolution[]

Gumshoos evolves from Yungoos at level 20 during the day.

Pokédex entries[]

  • Sun

    When it finds a trace of its prey, it patiently stakes out the location... but it’s always snoozing by nightfall.

  • Moon

    It adores having Rattata and Raticate for dinner, but as it’s diurnal, it never encounters them. This Pokémon boasts incredible patience.

  • Ultra Sun

    Although it wasn’t originally found in Alola, this Pokémon was brought over a long time ago when there was a huge Rattata outbreak.

  • Ultra Moon

    Patience by nature, this Pokemon loses control of its pouncing when it spots its favorite meal-Rattata.

  • Scarlet

    Once it finds signs of prey, it will patiently stake out the location, waiting until the sun goes down.

  • Violet

    Gumshoos specializes in relentlessly tracking down prey. The simple-minded Skwovet doesn't seem to provide Gumshoos enough challenge.
