Ambipom (エテボース) is the 64th Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex. It is a Normal-Type, and is known as the Long Tail Pokémon.

Ambipom has two main abilities. The first Ability it can have is Technician, which increases the power of moves with a base power of 60 or less by 50%. The second main ability it can have is Pickup. Pickup gives Ambipom a 10% chance to pick up random items after every battle. Ambipom's Dream World ability is Skill Link. This ability causes all multi-hit moves to always hit the maximum number of times.

Aipom can evolve into an Ambipom if it Levels Up while knowing the move Double Hit.

Ambipom is in the Field Egg Group, and its Egg takes approximately 5,120 Steps to hatch. It takes Ambipom 800,000 Experience Points to reach Level 100.

[edit] Biology

[edit] Physiology

Ambipom looks very similar to its pre-evolution, Aipom. It is a monkey-like Pokémon, and it has two tails, instead of Aipom's one. Each of these tails have a much bigger, ball-shaped hand on the end of them, and red tips. Ambipom is almost completely purple, with the exception of its face, it's torso, and the hands on its tails.

[edit] Gender Differences

Female Ambipom has longer strands of hair on the top of its head than Male Ambipom.

[edit] Game Information

[edit] Original Games

The only way to obtain an Ambipom in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold and Soul Silver is to evolve Aipom. In Black 2 and White 2, an Ambipom can be obtained as part of an in-game trade in Accumula Town. An Excadrill is the Pokémon requested in exchange.

Ambipom will appear within Vien Forest after an In-Game Quest in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. In Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, Ambipom appear within the Daybreak Ruins, but it is blocked by a large stone slab that bears Tyranitar's image.

[edit] Pokémon Information

[edit] Competitive Battling

Ambipom finds itself in the Under-Utilized Tier of Competitive Battling. The combination of its high Speed and strong Attack Statistics make Ambipom a threat to sweep late in a battle or collect a revenge-KO, especially with access to Fake Out, which hits harder than usual if it has the Technician Ability. Other priority-attack users, especially those with access to Mach Punch; along with opponents that resist Fake Out, either by using the Inner Focus Ability or a Ghost-Type Pokémon will be able to stop Ambipom in its tracks.
