Pandanoko

Pandanoko (ツチノコパンダ, Tsuchinoko Panda) is an Ice attribute, Rank A Rare Yo-kai of the Slippery tribe.

The Yo-kai Medallium bio reads, "A wandering Yo-kai from a faraway land. It's tough to find and a miracle to actually befriend."

Appearance
A white and dark grey snake. It has pale blue and black eyes with dark grey markings and a pink blushing cheek at the lower corner. On the top of it's head is a dark grey flower-shape with lighter grey and white. At the end of it's tail is a tiny light pink heart.

Personality
When he is first introduced, he is very unsure if he should be a Noko or a Panda, and this leads to ask Nate and her friends about what he should be. Upon deciding he would be the mascot of Next Harmeowny and the subsecuent stardom attained from it, he develops a somewhat cocky celebrity personality, as seen when he bluntly asks Jibanyan "When did Jibanyan become a trend?".

Next Harmeowny
Pandanoko finally reaches a decision upon being invited by the idol group to make a collaboration with her, and this helps her reaching stardom.

Abilities and Powers

Yo-kai Watch and Yo-kai Watch 2: Ganso and Honke
Pandanoko has a rare chance of appearing via Streetpass in the VIP Room of the Wayfarer Manor, which is unlocked after meeting at least 10 people through this feature. It can only be fought once until the next chance, but it's possible to save right before and try again if befriending fails. Since it appears at a very low level, a team with three low-level Yo-kai in the front is recommended.

Here is a playthrough video of Pandanoko's successful befriending.

History
Pandanoko appeared first in EP051. This Yo-Kai had problems deciding if it was a Noko or a Panda, but decided that both is fine. Upon being invited by Nextharmeowny to make a collaboration with her, he finally finds her place and on top of that, reaches stardom. Later, when Jibanyan tries to make himself popular, he bluntly asks him for when did Jibanyan become a trend.

Pandanoko is first summoned in EP072, for helping Nate's family to reach a destination and dispel the effects of Mayoiguruma's powers.

Trivia
When snapped in the Yo-kai Cam her tip will say: You will turn white everywhere but around your eyes!
