Wimpod gather in swarms, constantly on the lookout for danger. They scatter the moment they detect an enemy’s presence.
Shield
It’s nature’s cleaner—it eats anything and everything, including garbage and rotten things. The ground near its nest is always clean.
Sword
An astonishingly cowardly Pokémon, Wimpod will whir its legs at high speeds to run away if anything comes near it.
Ultra Moon
It will pick up anything it finds on the ground. Sometimes it finds coins, so Murkrow and Meowth will go after it.
Ultra Sun
Its habitat varies from beaches to seabeds. A natural scavenger, it will gleefully chow down on anything edible, no matter how rotten.
Moon
This Pokémon is a coward. As it desperately dashes off, the flailing of its many legs leaves a sparkling clean path in its wake.
