Grimmsnarl (Japanese:オーロンゲOhlonge) is a dual-typeDark/FairyPokémon introduced inGeneration VIII.

Itevolves fromMorgrem starting atlevel 42. It is the final form ofImpidimp.

Grimmsnarl canGigantamax intoGigantamax Grimmsnarl if it has theGigantamax Factor.

Biology

Grimmsnarl is a green-skinned humanoidPokémon mostly covered in long, dark purple hair, except for part of its face, its abdomen, its feet, and a small red patch on its chest. Most of its hair wraps around its body, except for a lock on each side of its face, a few spikes raised on its shoulders and some locks draping from behind its legs resembling a cape. While being bulkier than its pre-Evolutions, Grimmsnarl is more slender than it appears to be, with its hair giving the appearance of a muscular body. Grimmsnarl's hair works like muscle fibers and helps enhance its strength. Grimmsnarl is able to move its hair, and uses them to ensnare opponents in a tentacle-like fashion. By using its hair in this way, Grimmsnarl is powerful enough to overwhelm evenMachamp.

Like its pre-Evolutions, Grimmsnarl has tall, large crescent-shaped ears with red insides, as well as a long, sharp, upturned nose with a single long red nostril. It has a blue tongue and six teeth protruding from its mouth: two pairs of flat front teeth on each jaw, and a pair of sharp fangs on the upper jaw. It has white eyes with red irises, black pupils, and gray eyelids. Its face ends in a small pointy chin. Grimmsnarl's hands and feet have three pointed digits each. Grimmsnarl and its pre-Evolutions are male-only species. It lives in the forests, and retains the troublemaking behavior of its pre-evolved forms.

Grimmsnarl and its pre-evolved form,Morgrem, are theonly known Pokémon capable of learning the moveFalse Surrender. InGeneration IX,Confide is also one of its signature moves. InGeneration VIII, this was also true forSpirit Break.

Forms

Grimmsnarl has aGigantamax form.

While in its Gigantamax form, it becomes much taller and all of its body except its face and chest mark is covered in hair. Its limbs become longer, and its hair now makes up its hands and feet, each with three and two digits respectively. Its eyes are red with white pupils, and the hair from around its neck and shoulders is raised in a pointy collar shape surrounding its head, as the two longer rear locks join in a single spike waving above the head. Three red clouds surround the back hair that pointed up. When in Gigantamax form, it is capable of creating a powerful drill with its leg hair, which can bore large holes withinGalar's terrain. Thanks to its increased strength, Gigantamax Grimmsnarl can jump over the world's tallest building.

Gigantamax Grimmsnarl is the only known Pokémon capable of using theG-Max MoveG-Max Snooze.

  • Each Pokémon in each evolutionary line has the same base stat total, base experience yield andcatch rate as their counterpart (e.g. Grimmsnarl and Hatterene both have a base stat total of 510), except for Hatenna and Impidimp'scatch rate.
  • These two evolutionary lines are next to each other in theNational Pokédex, theGalar Pokédex, theCrown Tundra Pokédex and thePaldea Pokédex.
  • Both Pokémon are based on mythical beings from European folklore and mythology: Grimmsnarl resembles trolls, ogres, and goblins, and Hatterene resembles witches.

Origin

Grimmsnarl may be based onogres,trolls, andoni — brawny humanoid creatures from myths and legends that are commonly depicted as malevolent, with grotesque appearances and abundant hair. Like its pre-Evolutions, Grimmsnarl also shares traits withgoblins, notablybugbears. It also resembles depictions ofGrendel, a giant monster from the Old English epic poemBeowulf, described as a "creature of darkness" and known for his immense strength. The fact that its physical strength comes from its hair may also be a reference toSamson from theBook of Judges.

Grimmsnarl also seems to represent malevolent aspects of witches, as opposed to its counterpart,Hatterene, who appears to represent the benevolent or neutral aspects. This contrast is a relatively commontrope, in which "bad" witches are depicted as ugly (long pointed nose, scary-looking face, green skin) and wearing dark clothing. This visual was popularized by theWicked Witch of the West's design in 1939'sThe Wizard of Oz.

Gigantamax Grimmsnarl, specifically its exclusiveG-Max MoveG-Max Snooze, might be inspired byAillen, a supernatural giant of Irish folklore that used music to put people to sleep.

Name origin

Grimmsnarl may be a combination ofgrim,grimace,grimoire (a type of spellbook), orGrimm; andsnarl. Its name could also incorporate the wordsgnarly.

Ohlonge may be a combination ofogre oroni and ロン毛ronge (long hair).
