Whismur (Japanese: ゴニョニョ Gonyonyo) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

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

Biology

Physiology

It has a spherical, mauve-colored body with two stubby arms. Its ears are long and rabbit-like with yellow tips, and it has a small, plug-like tail with a yellow crescent marking above it at its back. Whismur appears to have three holes, one beneath each of its ears and one on its tail.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Due to breathing through its ear canals, it has no need to breathe and thus can cry continually. For this reason, it stops screaming if its ear covers are shut.

Behavior

Normally Whismur make murmurs that are only barely audible, but Whismur are scared very easily, and often use their shrill cries to try and scare off other wild Pokémon. And once it screams, its cries scare it into crying harder, eventually exhausting itself to sleep.

Habitat

Generation III Ruby Normally, Whismur's voice is very quiet - it is barely audible even if one is paying close attention. However, if this Pokémon senses danger, it starts crying at an earsplitting volume. Sapphire Whismur is very timid. If it starts to cry loudly, it becomes startled by its own crying and cries even harder. When it finally stops crying, the Pokémon goes to sleep, all tired out. Emerald Its cries equal a jet plane in volume. It inhales through its ear canals. Because of this system, it can cry continually without having to catch its breath. FireRed It usually murmurs, but starts crying loudly if it senses danger. It stops when its ear covers are shut. LeafGreen {{{leafgreendex}}}
Generation IV Diamond Usually, its cries are like quiet murmurs. If frightened, it shrieks at the same volume as a jet plane. Pearl {{{pearldex}}} Platinum {{{platinumdex}}} HeartGold If it senses danger, it scares the foe by crying out with the volume of a jet-plane engine. SoulSilver {{{soulsilverdex}}}
