Pancham Evolution, Location, and Stats: Pokemon Sword

Pancham's evolution, spawn location, and statistics were unveiled when the game launched Friday. First appearing in Pokemon X and Y, the Panda Pokemon caught a lot of love from the community. Pokemon Sword news is all around these days, so here's everything you need to know about this pernicious pocket monster, and how to add its wily nature to your team today.

Pancham Evolution

At level 36, Pancham evolves to Kangoro. It loses it's Fighting type and instead becomes a Dark-Type Pokemon. Given that sinister smirk sitting on Pancham's face, it's a bit surprising that this doesn't happen the other way around.

Pancham Location

Those looking to catch a Pancham can find them on Route 3, along East and West Lake Axewell, and in the Rolling Fields. The video above should give you a rudimentary guide to ensuring the little rascal doesn't slip through your fingers.

Pancham Stats

Pancham's base stats are as follows:

Health: 67

ATK: 82

DEF: 62

SP ATK: 46

SP DEF: 48

SPD: 43

Just make sure to make the most of Pancham's "Scrappy" ability, letting it hit Ghost-type Pokemon with Fighting and Normal-type moves. This pairs really well with its Iron Fist ability, which increases the power of punching moves by 20%.
