Gumshoos (Japanese: デカグース Dekagūsu) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Yungoos when leveled up in the day starting at level 20.

Biology

Gumshoos is a long-bodied Pokémon similar to a mongoose. While it moves on all fours, it is capable of standing on its hind legs with its hands locked behind its back, similar to a human. Most of its coat is brown with a yellow underside that extends over the top of its tail. It has an additional yellow stripe that starts on its forehead and ends between its shoulders. There are tufts of fur near its shoulders, hips, and around the base of its tail. These tufts in combination with its yellow underside create the impression of an open trenchcoat. Its ears are rounded with a small notch, and are located on the sides of its head. It has a short snout with a pink nose, a large mouth full of pointed teeth, eyes nearly hidden under its yellow stripe, and tufts of yellow fur on its chin. There are three black claws on each of its four short legs. Despite its length, Gumshoos is thick bodied and has a wide, flat tail with longer fur on the tip.

Gumshoos hunts by waiting along its prey's known travel routes. Due to its tenacious personality and ability to withstand intense hunger, it is able to wait for its prey for long periods without eating. Once the sun sets, this Pokémon's stamina is depleted and it will fall asleep where it stands. It is particularly fond of Rattata and Raticate as prey, but rarely encounters them due to its diurnal nature.

Trivia

Origin

Gumshoos appears to be based on a mongoose and a detective.

Name origin

Gumshoos may be a combination of gumshoe (detective) and mongoose.

Dekagūsu may be a combination of でか deka (detective) and mongoose.

Resemblance to Donald Trump

In the months leading up to the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon, various news agencies and fan-based websites alike commented on the physical resemblance between Gumshoos and the then-United States Republican Party presidential candidate in 2016 (and eventually President-elect) Donald Trump. In response to the claims that Gumshoos was based on Trump, both Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori refuted such claims, though they both admitted they saw the resemblance.
