Yungoos Coloring Pages

Free Yungoos Coloring Pages: 15 printable PDF designs of the mongoose-based Pokémon from the Alola region. Every page can be printed as a free PDF or colored directly online, with no account required for either.

Yungoos is based on a real historical mistake. Mongooses were actually introduced to Hawaii to control an invasive rat population. Still, the plan largely failed because mongooses are active during the day while the rats are active at night, so the two rarely crossed paths. Yungoos and its evolution, Gumshoos, mirror this exact situation in-game. Both Pokémon are diurnal and were imported to Alola specifically to hunt Rattata, but rarely succeed for the same real-world reason.

Twelve of the 15 pages are solo Yungoos portraits distinguished mostly by file name, and three lean into a specific mood or style, angry, cute, or a more detailed art rendering. Since Yungoos has a simple, consistent design, the main coloring decisions come down to its fur pattern and expression.

What Is Inside This Collection

Two groups make up the 15 pages: solo portraits of Yungoos, and a small handful of mood or style variants.

Solo Portraits

The majority of this collection shows Yungoos alone, repeated across many pages under different file names rather than genuinely different poses. Coloring suggestion: keep the brown body and yellow stripe consistent across every solo page, and use the repetition to refine smooth, even shading rather than treating each portrait as a separate design.

Mood and Style Variants

Three pages show Yungoos in a specific mood or artistic style: angry, cute, or a more detailed rendering. Coloring suggestion: exaggerate the expression-appropriate details on these pages, sharper, darker shading for the angry version, softer pastels for the cute one, to match the tone each page is going for.

What Yungoos Coloring Pages Do

One clean stripe, the full length of the body. Yungoos’s single yellow stripe runs the full length of its long body, and keeping that stripe a clean, consistent width from head to tail takes careful, sustained line control, the kind of fine motor precision the American Academy of Pediatrics associates with structured coloring in children ages two through seven.

A real ecological mistake, turned into a Pokémon. Mongooses were genuinely brought to Hawaii specifically to control rats. Still, the plan mostly failed because mongooses hunt by day and rats are active at night, a real historical mismatch that Yungoos and Gumshoos directly reference in their own in-game behavior and Pokédex entries.

Patience, repeated across the page. Yungoos spends its days patiently patrolling the same territory in search of food, and there’s a small echo of that patient repetition in coloring through a set built mostly around one repeated design, the kind of steady, structured activity a 2005 Art Therapy Journal study linked to reduced anxiety.

A name that’s also a joke. Yungoos’s evolved form, Gumshoos, combines “gumshoe,” old slang for a detective, with “mongoose,” a fitting pun for a Pokémon whose whole concept is patiently staking out prey it usually manages to miss.

How to Color Yungoos Pages Well

• Body: Use a warm brown for the fur, keeping the single yellow stripe running cleanly down the back and underside.
• Face: use a pink nose and keep the eyes mostly hidden beneath the yellow stripe, matching Yungoos’s actual design.
• Claws: Use a solid black for the three claws on each foot, since that’s a small but consistent design detail across the species.
• Angry-mood page: use sharper, darker shading around the eyes and mouth to emphasize the more intense expression.
• Cute-style page: soften the color palette and keep shading minimal for a gentler, more rounded look.
• Background: keep it simple on solo portraits, since Yungoos’s own fur pattern is the main visual detail worth focusing on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Yungoos coloring pages?

A free set of 15 printable designs of Yungoos, the Normal-type Pokémon from the Alola region. Every page downloads as a PDF or opens in the online coloring tool without an account.

What is Yungoos based on?

Yungoos is based on a mongoose, and its whole concept references a real historical event: mongooses were introduced to Hawaii to control rats, but the plan largely failed since mongooses are active by day and rats by night.

What does Yungoos evolve into?

Yungoos evolves into Gumshoos starting at level 20 when leveled up during the day. Gumshoos does not evolve further.

Where does the name Gumshoos come from?

It combines “gumshoe,” old slang for a detective, with “mongoose,” referencing the Pokémon’s patient, detective-like hunting style.

Why do so many pages show the same basic Yungoos pose?

Most of the collection uses one core portrait style with different file names rather than a wide variety of scenes, with the angry, cute, and detailed art pages offering the set’s real visual variety.

Can these pages be colored without printing them?

Yes. Every page in the set opens directly in the site’s browser-based coloring tool, so a page can be finished on screen before deciding whether to print it.

Are Yungoos coloring pages suitable for young children?

The solo portrait pages use one clear figure and suit a wide age range well. The angry-mood page carries slightly more intense shading and may be worth previewing for a very young or sensitive child.

Does Yungoos actually catch the Rattata it hunts?

Rarely, according to its own in-game description. Since Yungoos and Gumshoos are active during the day while their preferred prey, Rattata, is active at night, the two rarely actually cross paths.
