Pangoro (Japanese: ゴロンダ Goronda) is a dual-type Fighting/Dark Pokémon.

It evolves from Pancham starting at level 32, if the player has a Dark-type Pokémon in their party.

Biology

Pangoro is a large bipedal Pokémon, resembling a humanoid panda bear. It has a stocky build with a big round belly, short legs and long arms with big paws, which are often balled into fists. Its head and belly are covered in thick white fur, while its lower body, chest arms and back are covered in equally thick but dark grey fur. A long fringe of this dark grey fur hangs down behind his back that, in combination with the rest of the dark-furred pattern, gives the impression that Pangoro is wearing a longcoat and trousers. Pangoro's three-fingered paws have shorter fur a darker shade of grey than the overcoat and are tipped with vicious black claws. Its face tapers down to a snout and its white color contrasts with its black ears and nose as well as the two semi-circles of black fur under its brow that render Pangoro's eyes indistinguishable. Pangoro likes to carry a thin leaved shoot in its mouth, which has prominent lower fangs.

In the anime

Trivia

Origin

Pangoro appears to be based upon the Giant Panda. Considering how its pre-evolution needs to be around Dark-type Pokemon as a prerequisite for its evolution, its hot blooded, belligerent, yet virtuous attitude, and features such as a coat like cape and chewing stick, Pangoro also appears to draw inspiration from banchō, Japanese youth gang leaders. The method of evolution implies that the pure Fighting-type Pancham evolves acquires its Dark type after being led astray by a "bad influence".

Name origin

Pangoro and Goronda may be a combination of ごろつき gorotsuki (rogue), ごろごろ gorogoro (rumbling sound), and panda.
