Meet Greavard, the Ghost Dog Pokémon! 🐶🕯️ | Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Viole
By the looks in Greavard’s face, it might evolve into something very terrifying. But until then, I am playing fetch with the ghost doggo until my life force is sucked away

Meet Greavard, the Ghost Dog Pokémon! 🐶🕯️ | Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Viole – Detailed Explanation
ah!! so cool to see a ghost dog pokemon in this game. europe is filled with stories of spirit dogs and the like, and they’ve always been some of my favorite stories.
Me after seeing Greavard (as a ghost trainer), I’m even more excited because it reminds me of one of my dogs that passed. I’ll name it Joy 👻💙
Let’s hear the opinions of even more gamers around the world!

Its amazingly adorable plus the name Greavard it’s like the combination of grave + St Bernard, its genius. At the moment I don’t care of what it evolves to I just want to spend time playing with it on my team.🥰🐶
Here’s one of it’s descriptions on the official site:
“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 you wherever you go. Of all the Pokémon residing in the Paldea region, it is known to be especially easy to befriend.
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.” 🙁
Wonder if this is based off of Spain’s Gran Via “Dog Alley” and the story of The Nigromant and his ghost dog. Happy Halloween everyone!
I have a feeling that we’re finally gonna get a Cerberus Pokemon with it’s final evolution, and maybe even a two-headed dog as a middle stage evo
Definitely one of my new favorite Pokémon. This ghost Doggo reminds me of my childhood dog. She was an adorable white shih Tzu. Unfortunately we had to put her down when she was only 4 years old. She had bad kidneys and she was in a lot of pain.
I’m going to have this doggo on my team and name it Sophie in remembrance.
Some of the new designs are really well made and I am so excited for this release, it seems like they went all out on the new pokemon designs and it shows.
A ghost type Pokémon that’s a dog…this one is gonna make a few people cry remembering their late pets…I think this one will be one of the most popular Pokémon of this generation. The nicknames are be legendary and unique
I like that we’re seeing more pokemon interact with the environment. First it was Grafaiai painting trees and now Greavard leading people into traps.
Greavard is probably on of my new favorite Pokémon. So glad they’re coming out with new spooky Pokémon, despite the game coming out after Halloween
As a ghost type trainer, my heart just grew a bit colder. I’m so over joyed with the love they showed ghost types this time around 👻👻👻
I wonder if the ‘lore’ behind Greavard is linked to the sheep dogs that graveyard keeps used to have as companions at night… I just love dogs so I’m happy there’s another one 🥰
I hope this references hatchiko (spelling might be wrong) the Japanese dog who waited 9-ish years for his owner to return,this is really unlikely since this isn’t a Japanese region but I’d love the ability of his to be a loyal one,I don’t know much ability names but maybe one that boosts critical hits? it’s my opinion,I can’t wait for him to evolve into something terrifying 😀
i’m thinking about having an entirely dog based team this game! Should be relatively ok in balance too, depending on which mons get brought over. having another option, one whos so cute, is great!
I haven’t been all that keen on most if the new Pokemon revealed so far, but I like this ghost dog! I can’t wait to see what it’ll evolve into
I love the polygon grass and painted concrete ground. So much hard work and passion by the studio. The shading is so vivid and realistic for a modern game in soon to be 2023. I remember when games used to be about making money but this game was made with heart passion.
Ooh! Greavard reminds me of Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and if I catch a male one, I’m going to name him that! While all of these new Pokemon are very interesting, I’m still waiting on the starters’ evolutions. Please reveal them very soon! I just hope that the rumor that Sprigatito’s final evolution will be half-Fairy type and based on a flamenco dancer is true! 👻🐶🐱🌷💃🏻
Smart design and behavior for its dex entry. It burrows underground and leaves only the candle on its head to peek out. Paying respects for the things they’ve accidentally drained the life out of. “Greaves” them, so to speak. Very loyal and loving pokémon, super cute, the goodest boy of them all. Heartbreaking dex entry. Easily has a spot on my team
Ohhh this is a good one! Lots of love to weird dogs this gen, huh?
I love the way the lil candle sticks out! Can’t help feeling like it’s based on black hounds of folklore or church grims that gaurd graveyards.
Normally my pre release team is mapped out with a couple new but mostly older Gen mons, this time around its comprised solely of new pokémon and we’ve only seen like a 6th of the new gens mons, this is fantastic
“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 you wherever you go. Of all the Pokémon residing in the Paldea region, it is known to be especially easy to befriend.

Oh my :^)
But I just want to love the doggie…. without dying 💔
Just from its size I already know their gonna five this ghost pupper two more evolutions and by the time we get to the Third it’ll be hopefully horrifyingly amazing 👏
Looks like a Shih Tzu or Maltese! I love it! Though I really hope we can get a Dachshund Pokemon one day
I also really hope the starts evos will be revealed soon. I’d love to know who I’m going for for sure before the games are released ^w^
As cool as the ghost doggo is, seeing Mimikyu in the video is just as exciting to me, knowing it will be in this game. Not sure if it had already been confirmed or not, just happy that it is there
With the seeming focus on it digging into the ground, it might end up evolving into a ghost/ground type, which if I’m not mistaken, has been a type combo exclusive to Golett and Golurk for a while now.
Some body at Nintendo, Gamefreak, and Pokemon International really loves the doggos. Well, who can blame them? Dogs have always been the epitome of loyalty and love. Great traits for a rookie trainer. Now, that love and devotion extends to the beyond.
Oh. My. Goodness. Yes! This good boi is DEFINITELY JOINING MY TEAM!
I wasn’t a fan of the previously unveiled Pokémon, so I’m happy that I get to add a Paldean Pokémon member to my party! (And a cute lil member at that!)
For the record, 5 older Pokémon were revealed this trailer, plus mismagius as misdreavus was featured, making it six, those being gastly, haunted, gengar, Mimikyu, mismagius + misdreavus. This also confirms trading as gengar is a trade evo 🙂
It looks like it could be based off of the white cadejo and maybe evolve into a black cadejo. Or it could be based off of the Inugami spirit, since it’s a dog that is buried underground. The Inugami is a dog spirit that is created when an owner buries their dog until the head is sticking out of the ground. When the dog dies, it becomes a spirit that supposedly takes revenge on someone who wronged their owner, but the Inugami can also attack their owner.
Edit: Greavard also looks like a Spanish Water Dog, so I’m 99% sure it has all of those influences combined into its design.
I have two ideas for pokedex entries for this, one that is very dark and the other that is not so dark but still somewhat dark
1: Graveard uses its cute appearance and playful behavior to deceive victims. It plays with its prey while sucking the life energy from them, which it feeds on.
2. The most friendly of all ghost pokemon, Graveard loves to play with all humans, since it was a yamper in its past life. Unfortunately, it accidentally sucks the life energy out of those who play with it, so this pokemon is very lonely and only wants to make friends. This is why other ghost pokemon love it so much, especially those who were humans in their past lives.
If this is a version exclusives I’m getting that version without a doubt this might be my favorite Pokemon now if it has a good final evolution. Gengar is my favorite I really love ghost Pokemon. Dogs are my favorite animals so this is perfect. Also how much you wanna bet he has a sad backstory like his owner left or died and he waited till they came back but they never did and they died then became a ghost Pokemon and still waits for their owner.
