Amoonguss (Japanese: モロバレル, Hepburn: Morobareru) (uh-MOON-gus[1]) is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
Biology
Physiology
Amoonguss is a large mushroom-like Pokémon that has a Poké Ball pattern on its cap. It has a bulky, thick, stem-like body that is mainly gray in color. It has two arms with round, disc-like Poké Ball shapes on the ends of each. Its base is black and it has small eyes and a large, pink-lipped mouth.
Shiny Amoonguss is purple instead of red and its mouth is a darker pink, making it resemble a Master Ball.
Behavior
It tends to lure in foes by swaying the Poké Ball-like caps on their arms. However, this often doesn't work. They prefer to live in damp places.
Evolution
Amoonguss evolves from Foongus, at level 39.

Trivia
- Amoonguss and its pre evolution share similarities with the Paras and Shroomish line. All 6 are known as the Mushroom Pokémon, are part Grass type, can have Effect Spore as an ability, and can all use the move Spore.
Origin
Amoonguss appears to be based on a mushroom disguised as a Poké Ball. It may take after the mimic-type enemy archetype in RPGs, similar to Electrode.
Etymology
Amoonguss comes from amanita (a type of mushroom with a similar appearance to Amoonguss) and fungus. Paired with the name of Foongus, it sounds similar to the phrase "Fungus among us".
