Zarude • Generation VIII Pokédex

Scarlet/Violet support is in the works!

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!

Pokédex Entries for Zarude

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Normal

Sword
Within dense forests, this Pokémon lives in a pack with others of its kind. It's incredibly aggressive, and the other Pokémon of the forest fear it.
Shield
Once the vines on Zarude's body tear off, they become nutrients in the soil. This helps the plants of the forest grow.

Dada

Sword
This Zarude left its pack to raise a human child. The cloth Zarude would wrap the child with has a comforting scent that calmed the child's crying.
Shield
This Zarude's special strength stems from its love and care for an orphaned human child that the Pokémon has raised since the child's infancy.
