Amoonguss (Japanese: モロバレル Morobareru) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves from Foongus starting at level 39.
Biology
Amoonguss is a mushroom-like Pokémon with a large, light-colored Poké Ball designed cap with warts. It also has a huge, gray, stem-like body; fierce-looking eyes; and a large, pink mouth. Amoonguss wields two Poké Ball-like shields. It uses the Poké Ball-like patterns on its arms to lure in prey, though it doesn't work too well in most cases. It also blows poisonous spores at its opponents. These spores can grow into mushrooms wherever they landed if they are not washed off quickly. Amoonguss rarely moves, preferring to stand near any dropped Poké Balls. Amoonguss is a carnivore, which can be found mainly in long grass as only their mushroom cap head protrudes from it, generally close to water.

Trivia
- Amoonguss, along with its pre-evolved form, is similar to Voltorb and Electrode in that it resembles a Poké Ball.
- Amoonguss's Shiny form's coloration is reminiscent of that of the Master Ball. It shares this trait with its pre-evolved form.
- Amoonguss and its pre-evolved form share their species name with Paras, Parasect, Shroomish, and Breloom. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
- All six Pokémon also share a common move, Spore, and Ability, Effect Spore.
- Amoonguss has the highest base HP of all non-Legendary Poison-type Pokémon.
Origin
Due to the fact that its Pokedex entries imply it preys on humans, Amoonguss appears to be based on the mushroom monsters from The Voice in the Night, a short story by the English writer William Hope Hodgson that inspired a famous Japanese cult film. Its appearance may draw inspiration from Amanita muscaria or mushrooms of the Agaricus genus.
Like Voltorb and its evolved form, the idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a mimic, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs.
Name origin
Amoonguss may be a combination of amanita (a genus of mushroom) and fungus or humongous (huge). Together with its pre-evolution, their names are a corruption of the phrase, "Fungus among us."
Morobareru is a combination of もろに moro ni (completely) and ばれる bareru (slang for "[for a secret] to be exposed"), referring to how it no longer convincingly looks like a Poké Ball.
