Biology

Phanpy is a small, red and blue elephant-like Pokémon, possessing an elongated trunk and large ears. Despite its small size, it can carry humans on its back and crush bones with its trunk. Phanpy digs pits near river edges, marking the area as its nest with its trunk. Donphan is the evolution of Phanpy.

Design & origin

Phanpy's name originates from the word "elephant", combined with "pygmy".

PHANPY’s big ears serve as broad fans. When it becomes hot, it flaps the ears busily to cool down. Even the young are very strong.

PHANPY uses its long nose to shower itself. When others gather around, they thoroughly douse each other with water. These Pokémon can be seen drying their soaking-wet bodies at the edge of water.
Sapphire · Alpha Sapphire
For its nest, PHANPY digs a vertical pit in the ground at the edge of a river. It marks the area around its nest with its trunk to let the others know that the area has been claimed.

During the deserted morning hours, it comes ashore where it deftly uses its trunk to take a shower.
