(Japanese: タブンネ Tabunne) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Tabunne is a bipedal, blue-eyed, pink-and-cream-colored Pokemon. The upper section of its face is pink, as are its floppy ears, exempting the tips and curled lower extensions which are cream-colored. The sides of Tabunne's chest and arms are also pink, somewhat resembling a jacket, although the tips of its forelimbs are cream. Its small tail is lumpy and white.

Gender differences

None

Special abilities

Tabunne have an incredible hearing ability and can use their ears like radars. The feelers on Tabunne's ears act like stethoscopes in that they can feel the beat of the opponent's heart. By listening to other Pokémon's heartbeats, Tabunne can assess their feelings and overall physical condition.

Behavior

Tabunne are natural doctors and nurses. Just like Chansey, they can nurse injured Pokémon back to health.

Habitat

Tabunne are present all over Isshu, but are also the hardest to catch. They will only appear in Shaking Grass.

Trivia

• Tabunne is very similar to Chansey. They are both pink, are Normal-type Pokémon, learn healing moves, work in Pokémon Centers, neither have evolutionary chains revealed in their debut generation, and both have low encounter rates in both of their introductory games and names that reference luck or chance in some way.
  • However, Chansey are only female, and Tabunne can be either male or female.
• It is the only Pokémon available in any tall grass of a region, similar to Magikarp which available in any water.

Origin

It seems to be based on a combination of a Leporid and a nurse or doctor, with its ears acting like stethoscopes.

Name origin

Its name seems to be derived from 多分ね tabun ne, meaning "maybe". Its name is likely derived from 多聞 tabun, "Many are heard".
