Overview |
In the rural, mountainous regions and bamboo forests where Pangoro dwell, they are hailed as defenders of the weak and helpless. Though they can be very grumpy at times, Pangoro will not tolerate the bullying of smaller Pokémon; they will step in themselves to retaliate against offenders. Their sturdy bodies let them shrug off most direct attacks, while their bulky arms can snap telephone poles in two or send a dump truck flying. When enraged or defending others, Pangoro will enter states of rage, disregarding any injuries of their own to continue bashing down on foes. Their trainers must learn to calm them in these states. These somber Pokémon do not make much noise, instead preferring to send messages through brute force. Indeed, it is their stern attitudes that makes them popular amongst certain groups of trainers. They use the sprigs held in their mouths to detect air currents and sense where their opponents will go. Pangoro get especially passionate about dueling with rival Obstagoon. Unfortunately, their righteous natures have increasingly made them prime targets for fur trappers; by intentionally placing small Pokémon in peril near Pangoro, trappers are successfully able to trigger their berserk states and cause them to wander blindly into traps, a practice that many regions are working hard to curb.
