Veggie.. Monkey.. thing.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Pokemon Sunday has revealed this thing!

.. This is possibly the first thing that I can agree with Gen 5 cynics when I say “What the heck?”

This thing is of course the new Grass-Type Yanappu, the Pokemon leaked through a toyline a few months ago. I wish they hadn't bothered. But never mind what I think, its ability is Gluttony and it learns Acrobat, a new move that doubles if the foe has no held item and allows the user to reach a Pokemon it couldn't normally in 3v3 battles.

Statistics fans would like to know this is the Grass Monkey Pokemon, is 0.6 Metres heigh and weighs 10.5g. So I just told you.

Interestingly, it seems the confirmed first gym leader, Dento has one in the anime. If this reflects his in-game team and specialised Pokemon theme or perhaps a broader theme for Gym Leaders' pokemon makes it possible that he won't be the cliché Rock-type First Gym Leader that has been in 3 out of 4 generations.

Well who knows. Stick to PKMN.NET and maybe we'll show you another Pokemon that won't make you cry in your sleep.

special thanks goes to cherry Coca-Cola that provided the much needed energy for me to post this after the London Meet yesterday! Good Times!
