Pansear is fire-using monkey-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. It forms an trio of elemental monkeys with Pansage and Panpour. Its evolved form is Simisear.
Information
Pansear is a monkey with fire powers that usually lives in volcanoes. The tuft on its head contains a flame that can reach 600 degrees Farenheit when it is angered. It also uses the fire from this tuft to roast berries.
It evolves into Simisear when exposed to a Fire Stone.
Appearances
Mainstream Games
In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, a Pansear could be received as a gift from a trainer at the Dreamyard to provide help against Striation Gym if the player had chosen Oshawott as the starter Pokémon. Additionally, wild Pansear could be rarely found from shaking grass at Pinwheel Forest and Lostlorn Forest.
Other Appearances
Other Media
- Pansear appeared in an episode of the Pokémon anime as one of Chili's Pokémon, although it was defeated by Ash's Tepig.
Trivia
- Its name is a combination of "pan" (the genus which contains chimpanzees) with "sear" (a cooking method). Its combined name also forms a pun on "pan searing", another name for the cooking method.
- The elemental monkeys also seem to be based on the three wise monkeys, a part of Japanese philosophy. Pansear calls attention to its ears and seems to represent "hear no evil".
