GreavardPaldean Fates #42 Pokémon Card

Greavard is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX, making its debut in the Paldea region. This adorable yet melancholic Ghost Dog Pokémon is known for its friendly, albeit somewhat clingy, nature. According to Pokédex entries, Greavard is said to be born when a dog Pokémon that passed away without ever interacting with a human is reborn. It lives a solitary life, often found in graveyards or desolate areas, patiently waiting for someone to play with. Its diet consists of life energy, which it inadvertently absorbs from anyone who gets too close for too long, though it doesn't do this maliciously. Greavard evolves into Houndstone starting at level 30. As a Ghost-type, it is strong against Psychic and Ghost types, but weak against Dark and Ghost types. Its unique origin story and endearing design have quickly made it a fan favorite in the Pokémon community, often depicted as a loyal companion despite its spectral existence. Its presence in the games and anime highlights themes of companionship and the afterlife, adding a touching depth to the Paldean region's lore.
