Yungoos Sprites

Normal

Shiny

Pokedex Entries

Sun

With its sharp fangs, it will bite anything. It did not originally live in Alola but was imported from another region.

Moon

It wanders around in a never-ending search for food. At dusk, it collapses from exhaustion and falls asleep on the spot.

Ultra Sun

Its stomach takes up most of its long torso. It’s a big eater, so the amount Trainers have to spend on its food is no laughing matter.

Ultra Moon

Although it will eat anything, it prefers fresh living things, so it marches down streets in search of prey.
