New Pokémon pup Greavard can absorb my life force any time

Pokémon Scarlet VioletJust introduced another paldean boy. A Pokémon Company YouTube broadcast shared on Tuesday showed off Greavard, an adorably spooky pup who just wants to play. This ghost-type dog is being trained to play fetch using a stick. The trainer then approaches the ghost-type dog and asks him to play fetch with a stick. Passes outAt the end of this video. Please excuse me.

Well, Greavard is “friendly affectionate” to the point where “paying it even the slightest bit of attention will make it so overjoyed that it will follow you wherever you go,” according to the Scarlet and Violet website. Cute! I think we can all agree — we would die for Greavard. Next comes the twisting 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. Also, we’d dieGreavard. Like, literally.

This ranks up there for some of the The saddest shit in the Pokémon pantheon. It’s not the saddest — that award goes to Cubone, the orphaned ground type Pokémon who wears the skull of ITS DEAD MOTHER.

But I’d rank Greavard somewhere above chronic migraine icon Psyduck, whose head pain is so bad it produces psychic damage. Chronic headaches suck, and I would know, but at least Psyduck can hang out with someone when it’s sad, and not worry about accidentally You are sucking their lives out of them. And don’t even get me started on Amaura, the rock and ice type Pokémon whose ecosystem is melting. In ten years, will it find a home? We simply Don’t know.

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

Luckily Greavard’s deadly excitement doesn’t appear to have dissuaded fans from lavishing the goodest boy with lots of love. Look at that shaggy little face and tell me you don’t want to give that snoot a little kiss. Imagine if Greavard was embraced in the cemetery. Ahaha just kidding. Or?

For one head pat, I’d risk my life!!

Greavard is known to live in Paldea. However, I think it would be much more accurate to have one attend a My Chemical Romance revival show. (Maybe sitting on Spectrier’s back to see the stage better?) I just know I’d hug him, no matter the personal cost.
