Aipom is a monkey-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a three-fingered hand at the end of its tail. Its fur is purple, while the skin of its face, inner ears, belly, feet, and the tip of its tail are beige. Its face usually has a cheeky smile and round, blue eyes. With its round ears, Aipom's head is disproportionately large compared to its body. Atop its head is a {{wp|cowlick}} that is longer on females than males. Unlike its feet, Aipom's arms are simple, purple stubs.

Aipom uses its powerful tail freely and cleverly for many purposes. The tail is strong enough to anchor Aipom to a branch and suspend the rest of its body in the air, but also delicate enough to pick fruit and manipulate objects. Aipom has been known to wrap its tail around tree branches as it sleeps so it does not fall. Since Aipom uses its tail so much, its actual arms are not as dexterous and become clumsy over time. Aipom lives high in the treetops of {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical, temperate, and even boreal forests}}, using its tail for balance as it swings from branch to branch. In [[Alola]], {{p|Bounsweet}} is its favorite food.

Gold has an Aipom named Aibo which first appeared in Murkrow Row, one of the Pokémon he grew up with at his house in New Bark Town. Because he was not very powerful, he was typically used in situations that needed his dexterity or for distracting opponents with Double Team. In Pleased as Punch With Parasect, he evolved into an Ambipom.
Aipom's tail ends in a hand-like appendage that can be cleverly manipulated. However, because the Pokémon uses its tail so much, its real hands have become rather clumsy.

Aipom will not appear in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team until a rescue mission involving it has been completed, using a Wonder Mail code such as the following:
4 ? R C W ♂ T ? ? 0 7 6
F M ? Y 2 4 ? 5 + N ? W
Objective: Deliver Radar Orb to Aipom on floor 5 of Silent Chasm.
