Herdier • Generation VIII Pokédex

Scarlet/Violet support is in the works!

Thank you for your interest in having the Marriland Pokédex updated to support Pokémon Scarlet & Violet! This has been something that I've been wanting to update for awhile, and it is my current project to implement support for the new games and The Teal Mask DLC. Thank you for your patience as I work on this over the coming week or two!

The black fur that covers this Pokémon's body is dense and springy. Even sharp fangs bounce right off.

This Pokémon obeys its master's orders faithfully. However, it refuses to listen to anything said by a person it doesn't respect.

The longer its black fur grows, the harder and more impervious it gets. Claws and fangs can't easily penetrate it.

It has been living with people for so long that portrayals of it can be found on the walls of caves from long, long ago.
