CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Pancham chews a leaf to look fearsome, then glares at those it encounters. The act soon falls apart: its smile returns when the tension disappears. It follows Pangoro as a leader and copies its movements to learn fighting and hunting. Misbehavior can cost it its leaf for a while. The Pokédex describes a boisterous apprentice seeking its mentor's approval rather than a true tough guy.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Sun says Pancham loses its leaf as punishment after serious mischief. Pokémon Sword explains that it learns by copying Pangoro. Its tough-guy accessory is therefore also part of a relationship of guidance and education.
