It knows the forest inside and out. If it comes across a wounded Pokémon, Oranguru will gather medicinal herbs to treat it.
Shield
With waves of its fan—made from leaves and its own fur—Oranguru skillfully gives instructions to other Pokémon.
Sword
Oranguru don’t get along with each other, so they’re always engaging in battles of wits to decide which one is superior.
Ultra Moon
It normally spends its time meditating in the treetops. It throws Poké Balls and gives other Pokémon orders as it pleases.
Ultra Sun
Deep in the jungle, high in the lofty canopy, this Pokémon abides. On rare occasions, it shows up at the beach to match wits with Slowking.
Moon
Known for its extreme intelligence, this Pokémon will look down on inexperienced Trainers, so it’s best suited to veteran Trainers.
