Biology

Granbull is a bulldog-like Pokémon and the evolution of Snubbull. It is purple in color, with a more sinister demeanor and brandishing two large teeth protruding from its jaw. Despite its shy and timid nature, it can still cause harm with its powerful jaw. Granbull is a popular Pokémon with children.

Design & origin

Granbull's name is partially derived from "bulldog", combined with the word "grand".

  1. Although it’s popular with young people, Granbull is timid and sensitive, so it’s totally incompetent as a watchdog.

  2. While it has powerful jaws, it doesn’t care for disputes, so it rarely has a chance to display their might.

    Ultra Sun

  3. More timid than Snubbull, this Pokémon is doted on by young people amused at the contrast between its looks and its attitude.

    Moon

  4. Its well-developed lower jaw and heavy fangs are its weapons. As long as it’s not provoked, it rarely bites.

    Sun

  5. It is timid in spite of its looks. If it becomes enraged, however, it will strike with its huge fangs.

  6. It has a particularly well-developed lower jaw. The huge fangs are heavy, causing it to tilt its head. Unless it is startled, it will not try to bite.

  7. GRANBULL has a particularly well- developed lower jaw. The enormous fangs are heavy, causing the Pokémon to tip its head back for balance. Unless it is startled, it will not try to bite indiscriminately.

  8. It can make most any Pokémon run away simply by opening its mouth wide to reveal its big fangs.

  9. Because its fangs are too heavy, it always keeps its head tilted down. However, its BITE is powerful.
