Pansear is a primate-like, red-and-yellow Fire-type Pokémon. The proportion of its head and large ears are similar to that of Aipom, although the insides of its ears are orange with small points at the upper portions. The upper half of its head and the whorled scruff atop is red. Pansear's eyes are oval-shaped, with large pupils, and the lower half of its face is yellow with a small, dot-like nose. Its upper body and its skinny forelimbs are also yellow, and its hands seem to have no fingers, aside from thumbs. Pansear's lower body is red with small feet, and its wiry tail is tipped with an arrowhead-shaped feature.
