Whismur (Japanese: ゴニョニョ Gonyonyo) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Loudred starting at level 20, which evolves into Exploud starting at level 40.

Biology

Whismur is mauve, bipedal Pokémon with a spherical body. Its eyes are black and shaped like plus signs, and it has a simple, wide mouth. Two small openings on top of its head act as its ear canals. Covering its ear canals are long, yellow-tipped flaps resembling rabbit ears. It has stubby arms and yellow-tipped feet that lack toes and have plus shaped markings underneath. Above its small, plug-like tail is a yellow, crescent marking. There is a hole in the center of its tail.

Whismur are a timid species, being easily frightened by loud noises. Whismur's murmurs are barely audible, but when it senses danger, it lets out an ear-splitting cry as loud as a jet plane taking off. Startled by its own cries, it will cry louder. When it finally stops crying, it will fall asleep from exhaustion. Because it breathes through its ear canals, it can cry continually. However, it will stop crying if its ear covers are shut. Whismur lives in caves.

Trivia

Origin

Whismur is based on a rabbit or a stuffed animal, and its ears resemble earmuffs, which are used to protect one's ears against loud noises. It may also be based on an electronic amplifier as its tail resembles an input or output port.

Name origin

Whismur is a combination of whisper and murmur, both of which mean speaking in a very soft voice.

Gonyonyo is derived from ごにょごにょ gonyogonyo, the sound of mumbling, murmuring, or whispering.
