Overview

Ambipom live high up in the treetops in large colonies. Upon evolution, their single tails split in two. Like Aipom, their hands have become vestigial, as they exclusively use their tails for virtually all tasks. Ambipom eat fruits and nuts that grow within the trees they live in. They use their tails to deftly peel fruit and shuck nuts; rinds and shells often litter the ground below trees where Ambipom colonies dwell. They also use their tails to swing from branch to branch, and are capable of suspending themselves from branches using their tails as they eat or play. They can sometimes be seen “holding hands” as they link their tails together in rings. This gesture is a sign of peace and friendship amongst a colony. They communicate by holding tails with each other and making different gestures with them. In battle, Ambipom nimbly manipulate their two tails to attack foes with moves like Double Hit; many opponents find it very difficult to dodge both of their consecutive attacks. Ambipom colonies often get into territorial disputes with Passimian troops, with who they are evenly matched. To display pleasure, Ambipom will clap their tails together happily. They will express affection by clasping their tails tightly around others in a "hug."
