Yanappu 「ヤナップ」:
- Grass Monkey Pokemon
- Type: Grass
- Ability: Gluttony
- Height: ~2ft
- Weight: 23.1lbs
- New Move: Acrobat (Video shows it’s effect in triple battle is to attack a pokemon on the far side of it, not normally possible… also base power is doubled if pokemon isn’t holding item. Flying type?)
- ‘Ya’ in its name probably comes from ‘yasai’ (vegetable)
- Aaaaaaand Kriffix is begging me to add in that it is probably Dento who gets Yanappu (because it was mentioned that an important character in the anime WILL get it)

ps- Updated with vid from PLDH, better picture courtesy of mirai_iro. Thanks Kriffix for your help translating! I think Yanappu looks better skinny! :3
I think Dent will own a Tsutaaja and a Shikijika that are more GLBT! hahaha!
I think Ash will own a Mijumaru, a Mamepato and a Yanappu.
I also think Iris will own a Pokabu.
As I wrote on my 3rd comment on this page, I agree about Ash having a Yanuppu (even thought I would not like it) for sure he is going to have a Mamapato coz he had all the other basic flying pokemon from the other regions (Pidgey,Hoothoot,Tailow and Starly) so it wouldn’t be surprising for him to have Mamapato.
P.S I dont think Dento will have Shikikija…
Edit-As I wrote on my 4th comment on this page (on the first comment I wrote 3rd)
You people know it’s not supposed to be broccoli on his head, right? It’s a tree. (or am I wrong?)
MA it is a peice of broccoli on his head. Check the info it said ‘Ya’ in its name probably comes from ‘yasai’ (vegetable). I really like the idea for a move like Acrobat for triple battles!
Unless “yana” comes from “Yanagi” which means willow – which has small yellow flowers, like the dots on it’s head. It could be a small sapling of a willow tree on its head.
I hope it comes from yanagi. The willow concept is much more interesting than the broccoli idea!
While we’re on the topic of who owns what in the anime, I just noticed something interesting…

We already knew that Mijumaru was participating in the Dento gym battle but it seems Pokabu will be as well if you noticed the background (the same gym walls). I don’t really know what to make of it (ash owns both mijumaru and pokabu, ash and iris take turns, dento owns pokabu etc) but I thought it was worth noting. I’m sure some people picked this up but this might be discussion worthy.
True Penguin! However I really would like it if Ash had a Tsutaaja (or Pokabu Mijumaru looks a bit too Dawnish)
Thnx for the images!
P.S-Why do u call urself Penguin?
Because I am a penguin 😉
well why do you call yourself pickintsutaaja 😉
Because when the games come out im gonna pick Tsutaaja
see how stupid that question was? xD
that’s like who you asked penguin why his name was penguin. xDDDD
We also saw tsutarja in the gym ( I suppose) when he’s using gras mixer.
What! Didn’t they already make a fake Yanappu (It was called Boroccoli by the way, click on fake pokemon its there). Anyway that was boring this one is cool! And I agree with Vanrochris about Ash having a Yanappu (or any anime character)
If Ash got Yanappu that would be ape overkill for me, nope it’s gotta be Dento who gets Yanappu, Jessie or James that gets Koromori then again it might be another trainer’s or a wild one Ash is trying to catch.
Ash MUST get Tsutaja, Dento can have Pokabu (uncharacteristic but eh), and Iris will get Mijumaru. If Ash has Pokabu there goes Ash getting Darumakka which would suck!
Darumakka is going to be hihidaruma who is also an ape.
So that it would be an ape overkill is bulshit.
I think Dento is a gras gymleader so he gets tsutarja.
mijumaru for ash and pokabu for shooti.
Excuse me, Darumakka and Hihidaruma are not apes they are Darumas which are dolls- Dharma dolls, hollow, round, Japanese dolls modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism.
Ok he does have baboon in his name which is an monkey so yeah he would have another ape HOWEVER for Ash to get a Darumakka would be PERFECT, as he never gives up (The daruma is made for goals) as is the legend of the Daruma and furthermore “Hidaruma” means body covered in flames. These portmanteaus the designers create often are so dang genius. Now the whole reason Hihidaruma is a fire type is because of the burning of the daruma which is a custom placed the day after New Years. Which is which is why “Hidaruma” is so symbolic, they burn daruma as a sign of gratitude. So in a sense he’s more daruma than ape. The strange thing is to be accurate to the legend of the Daruma we’d need to encounter 5 colors in total- Red, Purple, White, Yellow, and Gold. Red is the standard for luck, Purple for health, Yellow for protection, gold for wealth, and white for love. All 5 could be translated into a Pokemon Ability-
Red- Encourage
Purple- (HP restore)
Yellow- Battle Armor
Gold- (Money doubler)
I forgot White-
(Instant Infatuation)
Baboons are monkeys. Monkeys =/= apes.
I knew about the dolls and the burning but the rest? Thnx for the facts!
P.S- I dont think Hihidaruma or Darumaka will come in different colours or have different abilities I think its gonna be just red with just Encourage
i don’t think that would happen…maybe hold items but anything besides that is a bit much.
plus a purple hihidaruma..yuck. 😛
I really think ash will have either tsutaaja or pokabu and I think no darumaka.
i think it’s been semi-confirmed that he’ll get mijumaru, tsutaaja will go to dento and iris will get pokabu.
The fake Yanappu was based on a figurine that leaked, so it was never a fake Pokemon, just a fake design trying to be passed off as official.
but what if his status sucks?
Don’t you mean stats?
ya whatever 🙁
u know what m talking about 🙁
Status and stats aren’t the same thing, so some people wouldn’t know what you’re talking about. 😛 It’s fine, though.
I’m hoping Yanap’s stats are passable. It’s super cute!
i think some pokes like pidgeot should get a boost in there stats in B/W!
yeah, i think that all final evolutions should be able to keep up with eachother if they know the correct attacks and such. Its nonsense that about 5-10 pokemon topple all 500+ of the others. Also, type changes. Some pokemon (Luxray) are missing a typing that they seriously deserve/need.
Very Aipom-ish.
This is really making me think that Dento will be a grass type trainer…..and he’ll have pokemon that are somewhat based on vegetables or edible plants….
This guy has turned out much skinnier than first thought…..I think I like him.
If Ash got Hihidaruma and Yanappu I would be very happy.
I hope Ash doesn’t get him, no more monkeys for Ash! XD
Dento ftw
First comment of mine on this site 😛
Awesome site, by the way. My favorite site for pokemon news!
Anyhoo, I wonder if the toy was a beta design for this guy? Cuz he sure does look wildly different. :/
Different tree on the head, different eyes, Different coloring on the ears, and of course, very different body shape. :U
Welcome to the league of pokejungle commenters :3
The different body shape could be just the medium used – a lot of the figurines are sort of SD-type.
well it was a little toy, i mean it’s hard tpo get the skinny-ness the same in a pudgy little toy also if you look back at the kibago toy it’s pretty much the same as yanappu, it looks slightly different.
but it is the same pokemon. 😀
Wait… Wouldn’t this prove the Onokusu theory wrong? I remember a theory on two pokemon soon gonna be revealed named ‘Burokku and Onokusu’ maybe there’s a Butokku too?
Burokku could be romanized to Block. Likely it’s an entirely different Pokemon.
burokku could be Gigaiasu’s pre-evo in that case
I really hope that Yanappu evolves into some sort of an Orangutan.
that would be cool but i want it to evolve into a gorilla .
i’m kinda hoping it doesn’t evolve ’cause i’m afraid it’ll lose it’s cuteness. DX
‘but it sems that it probably will. :/
oh well i’ll stil like it. xD
well if you dont want to lose its cuteness you could give it a everstone.
wowww broccomonk is freaking me out. it’s a monkey. and a broccoli. Part of a nutritious breakfast!!! XD though lunch is better for broccoli. and monkeys. eww.
