Mienfoo

Mienfoo (Japanese: コジョフー, HepburnKojofuu) (MEEN-FOO[1]) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Mienfoo is a bipedal weasel or ferret-like Pokémon. It has yellow and maroon fur that piles around its arms and legs like a tunic or monk's robe with long sleeves. It often positions itself in a fighting stance. It has small red eyes and a pointed snout. There are gray oval markings above its eyes. Its legs are red, and its yellow tail has a red tip. It has one small whisker on either side of its face, and small round ears.

Behavior

Despite their rather diminutive stature, Mienfoo are violent and ferocious. Any senseless person who approach will be faced with their brutal consecutive punches.

They can be observed practicing their series of poses in the morning which differ from pack to pack. Normally they seclude themselves in mountains to devote themselves in intense training.

Evolution

Mienfoo evolves into Mienshao at level 50.

Trivia

  • According to Ken Sugimori, Mienfoo and Mienshao were created to compensate with the shortage of fighting-types in Generation V. The designers decided to have a fresh take and created this evolution family as most previous fighting-types were humanoid in appearance.

Origin

Mienfoo is based on a weasel or ermine and a kung fu master.

Etymology

Mienfoo is a combination of ermine (a species of weasel) and kung fu.
