Read more ↓Galarian Runerigus is a unique Ghost/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII, found exclusively in the Galar region. It evolves from Galarian Yamask when that Pokémon takes 49 or more damage in battle and then travels under a specific stone archway in the Dusty Bowl. Unlike its Unovan counterpart, Galarian Runerigus is not a living being but rather a cursed painting that has absorbed the spirit of a Yamask. Its body is composed of ancient ruins and a dark, shadowy hand, reflecting its origins as a relic imbued with a restless spirit. This Pokémon is known for its ability to absorb the grudges of others, transforming them into a powerful, albeit melancholic, energy. In the games, it often appears in ruins or haunted areas, fitting its theme as a spectral entity tied to historical sites. Its distinct appearance and origin story have made it a memorable addition to the Pokémon world, offering a fresh take on the Ghost-type archetype. Its dual typing provides it with interesting matchups, being strong against Fire, Electric, Poison, Bug, Rock, and Steel types, but vulnerable to Water, Grass, Ice, Ghost, and Dark types.
