GreavardStellar Crown #70 Pokémon Card

Greavard is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX, making its debut in the Paldea region. Known as the Ghost Dog Pokémon, its Pokédex entry suggests a poignant origin: it is said that a dog Pokémon that died in the wild without ever interacting with a human was reborn as this Pokémon. This lore explains its melancholic yet endearing appearance, resembling a shaggy white dog with a candle-like wisp on its head, which is believed to absorb life energy from those around it, though often unintentionally. Greavard prefers quiet, solitary places, often found in caves or graveyards, where it can rest undisturbed. Despite its ghostly nature, it is generally depicted as friendly and loyal once it bonds with a trainer, often yearning for companionship that it was denied in its previous life. It evolves into Houndstone, a larger, more imposing ghostly canine. As a Ghost-type, Greavard is strong against Psychic and Ghost types but vulnerable to Dark and other Ghost types. Its unique backstory and design resonate deeply with fans, highlighting themes of companionship and remembrance within the Pokémon world, and quickly established it as a memorable addition to the franchise.
