Pokemon Sunday News: Yanappu + Vid

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)

    • Well seeing as how the figurines are somewhat stout it’s no surprise.
      Also I noticed its ability is gluttony -I wonder is it gonna get a fat evo?
      (Not necessarily, look at Linoone)

    • Apparently, from the video, Acrobat lets the user attack the Pokemon on the opposite side of the field in a triple battle.

      ie: If it’s on the left it can attack the Pokemon on the right, and vice versa.

    • Totally I guess the fake kinda sucked the fun out of this little guy for me. And Gluttony? How sad solar power would have been better.

      • I dunno, equipping a berry and getting to eat it early with Gluttony then doubling the power of Acrobat (+berry effect, whatever one you were using) sounds pretty sweet.

        • Never thought of that. But something tells me Gamefreak will treat it like poor Mawile and Roselia, giving it one good stat and crapping out on the other

  3. Pokemon Sunday’s good for something!
    I like it. It looks much better than the toy version. It’d be cool if it evolved into some Grass gorilla or something.
