: It does its best to be taken seriously by its enemies, but its glare is not sufficiently intimidating. Chewing on a leaf is its trademark.

: It does its level best to glare and pull a scary face, but it can’t help grinning if anyone pats its head.

: It grows up imitating the behavior of Pangoro, which it looks up to as a leader.
: There’s no point to the leaf in its mouth, aside from an effort to look cool. It’s mischievous, so it’s not well suited to inexperienced Trainers.
: It follows Pangoro around like a henchman. When Pancham makes a big mistake, its leaf gets taken away.
: It’s desperate to intimidate its opponents. Be nice and pretend to be scared if you catch it glaring at you intensely.
