Flavor

Detailed flavor page covering all versions

Flavor Text

: It lives high among the treetops. It can use its tail as freely and cleverly as its hands.

: It lives atop tall trees. When leaping from branch to branch, it deftly uses its tail for balance.
: Its tail is so powerful that it can use it to grab a tree branch and hold itself up in the air.
: Aipom’s tail ends in a hand-like appendage that can be cleverly manipulated. However, because the Pokémon uses its tail so much, its real hands have become rather clumsy.

: As it did more and more with its tail, its hands became clumsy. It makes its nest high in the treetops.
: It searches for prey from the tops of trees. When it spots its favorite food, Bounsweet, Aipom gets excited and pounces.
