Card 038Phantasmal Flames #38 Pokémon Card

Granbull, the Fairy-type Fairy Pokémon, is a fascinating creature known for its intimidating appearance yet surprisingly timid disposition. Introduced in Generation II, Granbull evolves from Snubbull, a small, pink, dog-like Pokémon. Despite its powerful jaws and fangs, Granbull is described as being easily spooked. When attacked, it desperately flails its limbs about in an attempt to repel its opponent, a stark contrast to its fierce exterior. Its Pokédex entries consistently highlight this dichotomy, portraying a Pokémon that is more bark than bite, preferring to avoid conflict rather than engage in it. Granbull's natural habitat often includes urban areas or open fields, where it can be found living in small packs. Its diet is generally omnivorous, consisting of berries, small prey, and occasionally scraps from human settlements. In the games, Granbull often appears as a loyal companion to trainers, and in the anime, it has been depicted in various roles, sometimes as a comedic relief character due to its easily startled nature. Its Fairy typing gives it an interesting role in type matchups, being strong against Fighting, Dragon, and Dark types, while being weak to Poison and Steel. Culturally, Granbull represents the idea that appearances can be deceiving, embodying a gentle spirit within a robust frame.
