Pokémon Scarlet and Violet simply launched one other excellent boy to the Paldea area. A Pokémon Company YouTube broadcast shared on Tuesday confirmed off Greavard, an adorably spooky pup who simply desires to play. A coach approaches this ghost-type canine, taking part in fetch with a stick. But then the coach passes out on the finish of the video. Excuse me, what?

Well, Greavard is “friendly and affectionate” to the purpose the place “paying it even the slightest bit of attention will make it so overjoyed that it will follow you wherever you go,” in keeping with the Scarlet and Violet web site. Cute! I believe we are able to all agree — we might die for Greavard. Then comes the twist of the knife. “However, Greavard will slowly and inadvertently absorb the life-force of those around it, so it’s best not to play with it too much.”

Oh. So we might die for Greavard. Like, actually.

This ranks up there for a number of the saddest shit within the Pokémon pantheon. It’s not the saddest — that award goes to Cubone, the orphaned floor sort Pokémon who wears the cranium of ITS DEAD MOTHER.

But I’d rank Greavard someplace above continual migraine icon Psyduck, whose head ache is so dangerous it produces psychic injury. Chronic complications suck, and I might know, however at the very least Psyduck can hang around with somebody when it’s unhappy, and never fear about by chance sucking their life out of them. And don’t even get me began on Amaura, the rock- and ice-type Pokémon whose ecosystem is melting. Will it have a spot to dwell in 10 years? We merely don’t know.

Here’s what I do know: The Pokémon Company clearly isn’t OK.

Luckily Greavard’s lethal pleasure doesn’t seem to have dissuaded followers from lavishing the goodest boy with a number of love. Look at that shaggy little face and inform me you don’t wish to give that snoot just a little kiss. What if we kissed Greavard within the graveyard? Ahaha simply kidding. Or?

I might threat dying for one good head pat!!!

I do know Greavard lives in Paldea, however I personally really feel it could be extra correct to catch one at a My Chemical Romance revival live performance. (Maybe sitting on Spectrier’s again to see the stage higher?) I simply know I’d hug him, irrespective of the private value.
