Impidimp

() is a /-type Pokémon that was introduced in Generation VIII.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Impidimp is a small, pink, bipedal Pokémon that can only be male. Its large head has two pointed ears, a black, bat-like wing on the back, and black facial markings. It also has large eyes with small pupils and a long, pointed nose with a single nostril. However, its most distinctive feature is its mouth, which always has a black tongue and two fangs sticking out. Compared to the rest of its body, its limbs are gangly and strange- its hands have three digits, and its feet lack visible toes. It also has no tail, unlike some other Pokémon.
===Behavior===
Mischievous creatures, Impidimp sneak into households to steal from humans. Similarly, to Shuppet, they feed off of frustration and negative energy, sucking it through its nose. More clever individuals may create roadblocks in woodland paths or move around signposts to disorient and frustrate travelers. Groups of Impidimp can wreak havoc on rural villages by terrorizing townsfolk with tiny inconveniences.
To ward off these troublemakers, homes near woodlands where Impidimp dwell may hang silver talismans on their doorknobs to keep the Pokémon out. Scientific evidence seems to support this practice; while Impidimp are inherently weak to Steel-type attacks, they seem to especially despise pure silver.
===Natural Abilities===
They can absorb humans and Pokémon's negativity as a means to recharge themselves.
==Evolution==
Impidimp evolves into Morgrem beginning at level 32. Morgrem will then evolve into Grimmsnarl ten levels later, at level 42.

===Origin===
Impidimp is based on an imp, possibly the in particular. It may also take inspiration from other types of fairy-like creatures in folklore such as goblins or gremlins. Its small wings on the back of its head as well as its large ears resembling horns could be a reference to depictions of small devils/demons.
===Etymology===
Impidimp is derived from "imp", "impediment", and "impudent". It may also come from "simper" (to smile) and "dimpsey" (a term used to refer to the time of day near dusk, hence its typing).
Berobā may be a combination of ベロ (bero, tongue) and ベロベロバァ (beroberoba, peekaboo).
