Gumshoos (Japanese: デカグース Dekagoose) is a Normal-type pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
It evolves from Yungoos when leveled up in the day starting at level 20.
Gumshoos is a long-bodied mammalian pokémon similar to a mongoose. While it moves on all fours, it is capable of standing on its hind legs with its hands locked behind its back, similar to a human. Most of its coat is brown with a yellow underside that extends over the top of its tail. It has an additional yellow stripe that starts on its forehead and ends between its shoulders. There are tufts of fur near its shoulders, hips, and around the base of its tail. These tufts in combination with its yellow underside create the impression of an open trenchcoat. Its ears are rounded with a small notch and are located on the sides of its head. It has a short snout with a pink nose, a large mouth full of pointed teeth that is usually depicted baring the teeth, eyes with white sclerae and black horizontal pupils nearly hidden under its yellow stripe, and tufts of yellow fur on its chin. There are three black claws on each of its four short legs. Despite its length, Gumshoos is thick-bodied and has a wide, flat tail with longer fur on the tip.
Gumshoos hunts by patiently waiting along its prey's known travel routes and pouncing when the unsuspecting prey comes along. Due to its tenacious personality and ability to withstand intense hunger, it is able to wait for its prey for long periods without eating. Its favorite prey are the Alolan forms of Rattata and Raticate, but since Gumshoos is diurnal, it rarely encounters them. It is also known to prey on Skwovet, which does not provide Gumshoos much challenge. Once the sun sets, this Pokémon's stamina is depleted and it will fall asleep where it stands. It is not originally from Alola, and was brought over from its unknown native region to take care of Rattata outbreaks.
A special Gumshoos in Alola acts as the Totem pokémon for Ilima's trial in Verdant Cavern. This Gumshoos possesses Z-Power, an energy that originates from Ultra Wormholes and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Gumshoos and completing the trial is a Normalium Z.
Prior to Generation VIII, Gumshoos and its pre-evolved form, Yungoos, were the only known pokémon that could have Stakeout as an Ability.
