Gumshoos Coloring Pages

Free Gumshoos Coloring Pages: 16 printable PDF designs featuring this Normal-type Pokémon, from character portraits to cute chibi and line-art sketch styles. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.

Gumshoos Coloring Pages feature a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, first appearing in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Officially known as the Stakeout Pokémon, Gumshoos evolves from Yungoos when it reaches level 20 during the daytime. Its name blends “gumshoe,” a slang term for a detective, with “mongoose,” reflecting both its real-world inspiration, the small Indian mongoose, and its design, where tufts of yellow fur along its shoulders, hips, and underside create the look of an open trenchcoat. Unlike Yungoos, which actively prowls for food, Gumshoos patiently stakes out a single location for its prey. However, its favorite meal, Rattata, is nocturnal, so the diurnal Gumshoos rarely gets the chance to catch one.

This collection groups its 16 designs into character portraits, cute chibi style, and line-art sketches, giving fans a range of designs to match any coloring session.

What Is Inside This Collection

The 16 Gumshoos designs fall into three groups based on pose and style.

Character Portraits

These pages show Gumshoos in a standard standing pose, highlighting its long body and trenchcoat-like fur tufts. Color the main coat in Crayola Brown or Sepia, the underside and stripe in Dandelion Yellow, and the fur tufts along the shoulders and hips in a matching Yellow.

Cute Chibi Style

This page simplifies Gumshoos into a rounder, softer design with a larger head and gentler expression, ideal for younger colorists who want an approachable version of the character. A slightly lighter Tan on the coat keeps the look soft and friendly.

Line-Art Sketches

These drawing-style pages emphasize clean linework over heavy shading, leaving room for colorists to decide how much shadow and highlight to add. Light layering with Raw Sienna and Yellow Orange works well for a soft, sketch-like finish.

What Gumshoos Coloring Pages Do

Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. Gumshoos’s fur tufts and small facial details give children practice with careful, controlled line work alongside the larger, elongated body shape.

Connecting to a favorite character. Gumshoos is a recognizable Pokémon from the Alola region, and coloring a familiar character gives children a rewarding, recognizable subject to work with, which can build confidence for tackling more detailed designs later.

Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. Gumshoos’s calm, patient design pairs naturally with the same steady, absorbing focus that structured coloring encourages.

Learning about real animals and evolution. Coloring Gumshoos gives children a natural opening to talk about how it evolves from Yungoos, and its real-world inspiration, the small Indian mongoose, offers an easy connection to a simple animal science lesson.

How to Color Gumshoos Pages Well

• Main coat: Base the long body in Crayola Brown or Sepia, keeping the color even across the torso and legs.
• Underside and stripe: Color the yellow underside and the stripe running from the forehead to the shoulders in Dandelion Yellow.
• Fur tufts: Use a matching Yellow for the fur tufts near the shoulders, hips, and tail base, since these create Gumshoos’s signature trenchcoat look.
• Ears: Keep the rounded, notched ears the same Brown as the body, with a touch of Black along the inner edge.
• Eyes: Fill the eyes with Black, adding a small White highlight dot for an alert, watchful expression.
• Simple outline pages: Stick to two colors, Brown for the coat and Yellow for the underside, for a quick, clean result.
