Wild Fairy-type with AbilityIntimidate for Attack drops. Granbull hits hard physically for a Fairy. Handles the Dragon trial and contributes against Hau's Crabominable. Not fast, but the typing and Attack are enough.

It grows close to others easily and is also easily spoiled. The disparity between its face and its actions makes many young people wild about it.

In contrast to its appearance, it’s quite timid. When playing with other puppy Pokémon, it sometimes gets bullied.
