Aipom appeared in 1999 video game called Pokémon Gold & Silver. Aipom is a Long Tail Pokémon. Aipom's tail is much handier than its actual hands, which have become clumsy from lack of use. It can use the tail to climb high up into trees and scout for food.
Aipom resembles a purple squirrel monkey with its face forever frozen in a maniacal grin similar to that of the cymbal banging monkey toy that can be described in a rictus and a blank stare from its round eyes. On its thin tail is that is a three fingered hand-like dexterous appendage. It provides both propulsion and balance while Aipom leaps from tree to tree. Its face, belly, feet, and hand-like appendage on its tail are cream colored, and it has a cowlick.
