Biology

This section does not yet meet the quality standards of Bulbapedia. Please feel free to edit this section to make it conform to Bulbapedia norms and conventions.

Yamper is a quadruped, canine Pokémon. It has a brown body with yellow fluff around its neck and yellow highlights around its eyes. It has a yellow bolt shaped tail and a heart shaped pattern on its rear. Its four feet are white. Yamper tends to be drawn to fast moving things. It will chase after people, Pokémon, or even vehicles. Yamper has an organ that generates electricity from the base of its tail when it runs. Yamper cannot store the electricity it generates, so sparks of electricity can often be seen when it is running. It is a popular choice in the Galar region for herding Pokémon such as Wooloo. Due to its gluttonous nature, it will only assist people in exchange for treats.
