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

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

Biology

Whismur is a pale mauve, bipedal Pokémon with a spherical body. It has two stubby arms and two round, yellow-tipped feet that lack toes. Its ear covers are long and rabbit-like with yellow tips, and the ear openings can be seen as a hole at the base of each ear cover. Its eyes appear as cross or plus sign-like black marks, and it has a simple, wide mouth usually shown open. It has a small, plug-like tail with a hole in it and a yellow crescent marking above it.

Whismur's murmurs are barely audible, but when it senses danger, it lets out a cry at an ear-splitting level. While it is crying, it will cry louder from being startled by its own cries. It breathes through its ear canals, which allow it to cry continually without having to breathe. It stops crying when its ear covers are shut. It lives in caves.

A herd of Whismur first appeared during Courtney's attack on Ruby in the Rusturf Tunnel. Their combined Hyper Voice attacks with several Loudred and Exploud proved useful in clearing the obstacles that blockaded the area.

Trivia

• Whismur's base stats all rise by 20 when it evolves into Loudred.

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.
