>>33678125Good question.
>With its sharp fangs, it will bite anything. It did not originally live in Alola but was imported from another region.Real life mongoose were brought in from South and Southeast Asia to take care of the rats that came aboard on the ships of early Hawaiian settlers, as rats tend to do. And if you're wondering, yes, the EXACT same relationship that Yungoos/Gumshoos and Alolan Rattata/Alolan Raticate is a real thing in real life; the rats moving to urban areas and becoming nocturnal to avoid mongoose, the mongoose not actually catching as many rats as they should; it's all very real.
As for what region Yungoos is from, who knows? Maybe a new one? Or maybe it's just like the unnamed region Corphish and Crawdaunt are originally from?
