Greedent V

Greedent is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII, making its debut in the Galar region. This plump, squirrel-like Pokémon is known for its insatiable appetite and habit of hoarding berries, often stuffing its cheek pouches to an impressive and comical degree. It evolves from Skwovet starting at level 20. In the games, Greedent is commonly found in forests and along routes, often seen rustling in trees or foraging on the ground. Its diet consists almost entirely of berries, which it meticulously collects and buries for later consumption, sometimes forgetting where it hid them. Despite its gluttonous nature, Greedent is surprisingly agile and can be quite tenacious when defending its hoard. Its role in the games is typically that of a common early-game encounter, but its bulk and access to moves like Belly Drum can make it a surprisingly effective Pokémon in certain niche strategies. In the anime, Greedent often appears as a background character, reinforcing its image as a persistent and food-focused creature. Its design and behavior resonate with the common image of a squirrel, giving it a relatable and endearing quality that has contributed to its cultural significance as a charming, if somewhat greedy, forest dweller.
