Introduced in Generation V with the release of Pokémon Black and White, Herdier is classified as the Loyal Dog Pokémon. Its dense, black fur grows continuously, and while it provides excellent insulation, it requires constant grooming to prevent it from becoming matted and troublesome. This characteristic is often highlighted in the anime and games, portraying Herdier as a high-maintenance but devoted companion. In the Pokémon world, Herdier is frequently depicted assisting humans with various tasks, from herding Pokémon to acting as police dogs, showcasing its strong sense of loyalty and obedience. Its Normal typing means it has a balanced set of matchups, typically being weak only to Fighting-type moves and resisting Ghost-type attacks. Herdier is a common sight in the early routes of Unova and other regions it inhabits, often encountered in grassy plains and urban areas where it can be seen alongside its trainers. Its presence in the anime often emphasizes themes of friendship and responsibility, making it a beloved figure among fans.
