Grimmsnarl

Grimmsnarl is a Dark/Fairy type Pokémon introduced in Generation 8.

Its hairs work like muscle fibers. When its hairs unfurl, they latch on to opponents, ensnaring them as tentacles would.

Grimmsnarl has a Gigantamax form available in Pokémon Sword/Shield, with an exclusive G-Max move, G-Max Snooze.
