Title Entry
Eighth Pokémon generation
Pokémon 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.
Pokémon 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[]
