Pancham (Japanese: ヤンチャム Yancham) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves into Pangoro starting at level 32 while the player has a Dark-type Pokémon in their party.

Biology

Pancham is a bipedal, mammalian Pokémon that resembles a young panda. Its head and short, puffy tail are white. It has a triangular black nose, rounded black ears, black circles around its eyes, and tufts of fur on top of its head and on each cheek. Its upper body and hind feet are black, while the lower body is a dark gray. Where the two colors meet the dark gray forms a three-pointed pattern on its chest. There are three digits on each paw and small, dark brown circular pads on the soles of its black hind paws. Pancham carries a small, green leaf in its mouth. There is no actual purpose behind this leaf, aside from an attempt to look cool.

Pancham looks up to Pangoro as a leader and tries to emulate its behavior in an effort to learn how to battle and hunt for its prey. If Pancham makes a big mistake, Pangoro will take away its leaf. It tries to make itself look serious to its foes, but its glare is not intimidating enough, and if it is distracted, it ends up grinning. Despite its attempts to look frightening, it cannot help grinning if patted on the head.

Prior to Generation VII, Pancham and its evolved form, Pangoro, were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Parting Shot.

Sun It grows up imitating the behavior of Pangoro, which it looks up to as a leader. Moon There's no point to the leaf in its mouth, aside from an effort to look cool. It's mischievous, so it's not well suited to inexperienced Trainers. Ultra Sun It follows Pangoro around like a henchman. When Pancham makes a big mistake, its leaf gets taken away. Ultra Moon It's desperate to intimidate its opponents. Be nice and pretend to be scared if you catch it glaring at you intensely.
Generation VIII Galar #111 Sinnoh #— Hisui #— This Pokémon has no Pokédex entries in Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus. Sword It chooses a Pangoro as its master and then imitates its master's actions. This is how it learns to battle and hunt for prey. Shield Wanting to make sure it's taken seriously, Pancham's always giving others a glare. But if it's not focusing, it ends up smiling.
Generation IX Paldea #— Kitakami #— Blueberry #— This Pokémon has no Pokédex entries in Generation IX.
