Impidimp is a small, fuchsia {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a large head, small body, and wiry limbs. Its hands have three fingers each while its feet don't have digits. Its face has a purple "mask", prominent pointed ears, large eyes with small pupils, a long nose with a single nostril, and a fanged mouth. It usually has its purple tongue sticking out. The back of its head sports a tuft of hair that resembles a bat wing. It and its evolved forms are male-only species. | |||
Impidimp is a mischievous Pokémon that loves to sneak into people's houses to steal things and generally be a nuisance to their occupants. This allows it to feed on negative emotions that it causes, sucking them through its nose. In contrast, Impidimp itself will become irritable if it has no negative emotions to feed on. Impidimp live in groups, practicing their troublemaking skills on each other. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Confide}} is its [[signature move]]. | |||

Its habit of sneaking into homes and causing mischief could be a reference to the {{wp|boggart}}. In addition, it could be an allusion to the {{wp|Lincoln Imp}}, a {{wp|Grotesque (architecture)|grotesque statue}} in {{wp|Lincoln Cathedral}}. Impidimp's red coloration on some of its skin, bat wing-like hair, pointed ears, and predilection for torment may also suggest partial inspiration from the pop culture depiction of a little "devil" figure or demon. Imps have also been depicted as small or lesser devils. | ||

Impidimp (Japanese: ベロバー Beroba) is a dual-type Dark/Fairy Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
It evolves into Morgrem starting at level 32, which evolves into Grimmsnarl starting at level 42.
Biology
Impidimp is a small, fuchsia Pokémon with a large head, small body, and wiry limbs. Its hands have three fingers each while its feet don't have digits. Its face has a purple "mask", prominent pointed ears, large eyes with small pupils, a long nose with a single nostril, and a fanged mouth. It usually has its purple tongue sticking out. The back of its head sports a tuft of hair that resembles a bat wing. It and its evolved forms are male-only species.
Impidimp is a mischievous Pokémon that loves to sneak into people's houses to steal things and generally be a nuisance to their occupants. This allows it to feed on negative emotions that it causes, sucking them through its nose. In contrast, Impidimp itself will become irritable if it has no negative emotions to feed on. Impidimp live in groups, practicing their troublemaking skills on each other. In Generation IX, Confide is its signature move.
Evolution
Impidimp evolves into Morgrem, which evolves into Grimmsnarl.

Trivia
- Impidimp was first showcased during an E3 2019 demo and the "Pokémon Live Camera" 24-hour live-stream of Glimwood Tangle, but was never officially acknowledged before the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield.
- No Pokémon have the same type combination as Impidimp and its evolved forms.
- Impidimp shares its category with Nuzleaf. They are both known as the Wily Pokémon.
- Impidimp, Hatenna, and their evolved forms can be considered counterparts.
- Both are Generation VIII Pokémon evolving once at level 32, then at level 42.
- Impidimp and its evolved forms are male-only, while Hatenna and its evolved forms are female-only.
- Each Pokémon in each evolutionary line has the same base stat total, base experience yield and catch rate as their counterpart (e.g. Impidimp and Hatenna both have a base stat total of 265), except for Hatenna and Impidimp's catch rate.
- These two evolutionary lines are next to each other in the National Pokédex, the Galar Pokédex, the Crown Tundra Pokédex and the Paldea Pokédex.
- Both evolutionary lines share similarities with mythical beings from European folklore and mythology: Impidimp's family shares traits with goblins, and Hatenna's family shares traits with witches.
- Both final evolutions are Fairy-type Pokémon based around long hair that have their Speed drop upon evolution.
- Both final evolutions are the signature Pokémon of a rival in Pokémon Sword and Shield who is a succeeding Gym Leader and Gigantamaxes it (Marnie's Grimmsnarl and Bede's Hatterene).
- Impidimp and its evolved forms are the only Pokémon that are in the Fairy and Human-Like Egg Groups.
- Impidimp and its evolved form, Morgrem, are the only pink Dark-type Pokémon.
Origin
Impidimp seems to be based on a variety of malevolent fairy-like creatures from European folklore, specifically imps, goblins, and gremlins. Its habit of sneaking into homes and causing mischief could be a reference to the boggart. In addition, it could be an allusion to the Lincoln Imp, a grotesque statue in Lincoln Cathedral. Impidimp's red coloration on some of its skin, bat wing-like hair, pointed ears, and predilection for torment may also suggest partial inspiration from the pop culture depiction of a little "devil" figure or demon. Imps have also been depicted as small or lesser devils.
Name origin
Impidimp may be a combination of imp, impede, impediment, and impudent (rude and disrespectful). It may also involve dimpsey, British dialect referring to the time around dusk, alluding to its darker nature, or dimple, alluding to its large smile.
Beroba may be a combination of ベロ bero (tongue) and ベロベロバァ beroberobā (peekaboo).
