Meet Greavard, the New Ghost/Dog-Type Pokémon Introduced in Recent Games

Horizonstocks

As a Pokémon enthusiast and a writer for TechCrunch, I’m thrilled to share with you one of my favorite new additions to the Pokémon universe: Greavard. This adorable ghost dog has stolen our hearts with its lovable personality and unique characteristics.

A Cross Between a Litwick and a Bearded Collie

In case you’re not familiar with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, let me tell you that Greavard is a new partner Pokémon introduced in the latest games. According to some creative fans on Twitter, Greavard can be described as a cross between a Litwick (the candle Pokémon from Pokémon Black and White) and a bearded collie.

While this might sound like an unusual combination, it’s actually quite fitting for Greavard. As we’ll see later, its ghostly nature and ability to appear out of nowhere make it a unique addition to the Pokémon world.

A Subsurface Lurker

According to the official Pokémon Company press release, Greavard is described as a "lovable subsurface lurker." This nickname might raise some eyebrows, but it’s actually quite fitting. As we’ll explore further, Greavard has a tendency to appear in the wild like a small candle on the ground, submerging its body beneath the surface.

The Origins of Greavard’s Name

So, why is Greavard named after a graveyard and grief? It seems that this ghost dog is trying to reunite with a new owner, showering them with love and affection. This theory might be a bit far-fetched, but it adds to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this Pokémon.

A Friendly and Affectionate Personality

When you approach Greavard in the wild, it will jump out of the ground while letting out a spooky cry that would startle most unsuspecting people. However, according to the press release, Greavard’s intentions are pure, and it only wants attention from its trainers.

"Greavard has such a friendly and affectionate personality that paying it even the slightest bit of attention will make it so overjoyed that it will follow Trainers wherever they go," reads the press release. "Of all the Pokémon residing in the Paldea region, it is known to be especially easy to befriend."

The Dark Undertones of Greavard’s Behavior

While Greavard might seem like a harmless Pokémon at first glance, there are some warning signs that trainers should be aware of. According to the Pokémon Company, Greavard will slowly and inadvertently absorb the life-force of those around it, so it’s best not to play with it too much.

What’s more, Greavard has powerful jaws that can shatter bones, and a single bite from this ghost dog can be grievous. Trainers are advised to approach Greavard with caution, which might seem ironic given its friendly nature.

Why We’ll Be Catching a Greavard

As Pokémon fans, we know that it’s our duty to catch ’em all! And when it comes to Greavard, I think it’s safe to say that this ghost dog has stolen our hearts. With its lovable personality and unique characteristics, I’m confident that Greavard will become a fan favorite in the Pokémon community.

So, if you’re planning on catching a Greavard in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, don’t worry – I won’t judge you for it!

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Release Date and Gameplay

If you’re excited to get your hands on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you’re not alone! The games are set to release later this year, with a release date yet to be announced. In the meantime, we can’t wait to dive into the world of Paldea and explore all that it has to offer.

With its new features, characters, and gameplay mechanics, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet promise to be one of the most exciting releases in the series so far. Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure with your favorite Pokémon!
