Phanpy are blue elephant Pokémon that are quite small in stature. Unlike its evolved form, it has a cute appearance. It has two orange pads on each of its big ears and another on the bridge of its nose, which is also quite long.
Abilities and Traits[]
Despite its small size, Phanpy is quite strong, and can easily carry an adult human on its back. It also has the ability to use Rollout just like its fully evolved form, Donphan. Its trunk is also quite sensitive. It is a timid Pokémon that flees very easily. However, it has a very affectionate side and can be very friendly, even if it doesn’t know its own strength. During the deserted morning hours, Phanpy comes ashore where it deftly uses its trunk to take a shower. When others gather around, they thoroughly douse each other with water. Phanpy can be seen drying their soaking-wet bodies at the edge of water. For its nest, Phanpy digs a vertical pit in the ground at the edge of a river. It marks the area around its nest with its trunk to let the other Phanpy know that the area has been claimed. Phanpy’s big ears serve as broad fans, and when it becomes hot, it flaps its ears busily to cool down.

Moves Improvised[]
Counter Shield: A technique Jason learned by mimicking Silus' own use of it, Phanpy combines Rollout and Water Gun, releasing water everywhere, disallowing movement for the opponent. It is a means of defending and attacking at the same time.
Trivia[]
Phanpy is Jason's first off-screen capture.
Phanpy is Jason's first Pokémon, and at the moment, his only Pokémon, not to have it's gender confirmed.
Jason's Phanpy can use Water Gun, a move it hasn't been able to use since Generation II, and even then, only as an Egg Move. This implies Phanpy may have just recently hatched.
