Flavor Text

: It’s considered to be a good Pokémon for beginners because of its friendliness, but its disposition grows rougher as it grows up.
: This Pokémon has lived with people since times long ago. It can sense when its Trainer is in the dumps and will stick close by its Trainer’s side.
: As they develop, their disposition grows more violent and aggressive. Many Trainers find them too much to handle and abandon them.
: When it rubs the rocks on its neck against you, that’s proof of its love for you. However, the rocks are sharp, so the gesture is quite painful!
