Pokédex entries[]

Title	Entry
Sixth Pokémon generation
Pokémon X	It does its best to be taken seriously by its enemies, but its glare is not sufficiently intimidating. Chewing on a leaf is its trademark.
Pokémon Y	It does its level best to glare and pull a scary face, but it can't help grinning if anyone pats its head.
Pokémon Omega Ruby	It does its best to be taken seriously by its enemies, but its glare is not sufficiently intimidating. Chewing on a leaf is its trademark.
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire	It does its level best to glare and pull a scary face, but it can't help grinning if anyone pats its head.
Seventh Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sun	It grows up imitating the behavior of Pangoro, which it looks up to as a leader.
Pokémon Moon	There's no point to the leaf in its mouth, aside from an effort to look cool. It's mischievous, so it's not well suited to inexperienced Trainers.
Pokémon Ultra Sun	It follows Pangoro around like a henchman. When Pancham makes a big mistake, its leaf gets taken away.
Pokémon Ultra Moon	It's desperate to intimidate its opponents. Be nice and pretend to be scared if you catch it glaring at you intensely.
Eighth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sword	It chooses a Pangoro as its master and then imitates its master's actions. This is how it learns to battle and hunt for prey.
Pokémon Shield	Wanting to make sure it's taken seriously, Pancham's always giving others a glare. But if it's not focusing, it ends up smiling.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A	It does its level best to glare and pull a scary face, but it can't help grinning if anyone pats its head.
