Zangoose (Japanese: ザングース Zangoose) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon. It is well-known for its ongoing feud against Seviper.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Zangoose are fairly large mammalian Pokémon that have the characteristics of mongooses and cats. They are mostly white in color, but possess deep red markings on the face, chest and paws, which have sharp pointed turns and edges. These markings make it appear that it has been involved in a vicious fight and is covered in blood and scars. They have two long, sharp black claws on their forepaws that are their main weapons. In earlier sprites, these claws were purple in color. Zangoose has pink eyes, small tufts of white fur on its shoulders, and a large, thick furry white tail. It also has a pattern of four pink circles on the underside of its three-toed feet in a 'paw-pad'-like arrangement.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Zangoose's Immunity ability makes it immune to poison. This is possibly an adaptation that was developed over time to deal with the fangs and tail of its nemesis, Seviper.

Behavior

Zangoose are bitter enemies with Seviper, and the two will battle each other to the end. It is suggested this rivalry has lasted for ages. It will usually walk on all fours but when angry it will stand on its hind legs.

Habitat

Unknown, though this Pokémon is found on Route 114 in Hoenn, so presumably grasslands with sparse trees and mountains.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Zangoose is an active hunter, and its prey may include Seviper.

In the anime

File:Zangoose DP051.jpg
Zangoose in the anime

Zangoose first appeared in ZigZag Zangoose under the control of Nicholai.

Another Zangoose appeared in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness as the leader of Team Razor Wind.

In Glory Blaze, it is discovered that Paul found Chimchar being attacked by a group of Zangoose. Because of the amazing power it used fighting the Zangoose, Paul decided to capture it. Later, Chimchar was to fight another Zangoose and nearly lost to it.

In Tears For Fears! another group of Zangoose appeared before Team Rocket and fought with Jessie's Seviper. Later, Chimchar found the courage to defeat them.

A Zangoose appeared in Beating the Bustle and Hustle! under the ownership of Crimson.

Trivia

  • Although it is stated that Seviper and Zangoose are bitter enemies, they share several characteristics, such as being in the Ground egg group, residing in the same Friend Area, having a base stat total of 458 (which is unique to only them), and being able to breed with each other.
  • Despite its sharp claws, as well as the basis of its name (see below), Zangoose is unable to learn Cut.
  • The rivalry between Seviper and Zangoose is based on the relationship between the mongoose and the king cobra - the cobra is the longest venomous snake in the world, and the mongoose is one of its few predators.
  • Before Generation IV, Zangoose was the only Pokémon to learn Crush Claw by leveling up.
  • Zangoose is compatible with the RSE move tutor that teaches Thunder Wave, but not the TM that teaches the move that was introduced in Generation IV.
  • Every one of Zangoose's Pokédex entries mention Seviper.

Origin

Zangoose, as its name implies, is based on a mongoose.

Name origin

Zangoose's name is a portmanteau of mongoose, a small, cat-like carnivore that is well known for its ability to hunt and kill venomous snakes, and 刪 san, cut down. It may also come from 残痕 "zankon", scars due to the markings in its body. It may also be a portmanteau of "mongoose" with "zangado", Portuguese for "angry", due to its ferocious behavior and look.

In other languages

  • German: Sengo - From Sense (scythe) and Mungo (mongoose).
  • French: Mangriff - From mangouste (mongoose) and griffe (claw).
  • Korean: 쟝고 Zyango
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 貓鼬斬 Māo Yòu Zhǎn - 貓鼬 refers mongoose. 斬 (to behead/chop) may come from 刪 "san". Literally "Mongoose chops".
