Whismur is a usually quiet rabbit-like Pokémon that was introduced in the third generation games. It is the first in a three-stage evolutionary line, with its evolved forms being Loudred and Exploud.

Information

Whismur is a timid Pokémon that usually whispers or murmurs quietly enough that to barely be audible. However, when it senses danger, it will begin crying at an earsplitting volume that has been compared to a jet plane's volume. Hearing its own cries will also cause a Whismur to cry even harder. They also inhale through their ear canals, which allows them to continue breathing while crying continuously. Whismur stop when their ears are covered, and when they do finally stop crying, they will usually pass out due to being tired out.

It evolves into Loudred at Level 20.

One episode of the Hoenn series also featured a trainer who owned a Whismur that notably befriended Jigglypuff due to its ability preventing it from falling asleep when Jigglypuff sang. However, the Whismur was later tired out from fighting Team Rocket and fell asleep, which angered the Jigglypuff which was under the misunderstanding that Whismur had fallen asleep from its song. Whimsur have also made several other minor appearances.
