Last week, The Pokémon Company teased a new Pokémon that will be in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with some mysterious pictures on social media. Then, they revealed that the mysterious Pokémon is the Toxic Monkey Grafaiai. This monster looks pretty cute and I’m sure it has a million fans already. I’ve included the Pokedex entry and additional information below. What do you think of Grafaiai? You’ll be able to add Grafaiai to your team in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet when the games release on November 18 for the Nintendo Switch.
Grafaiai is a moody Pokémon with a fastidious disposition. It doesn’t form packs, preferring to roam alone, and it is constantly caught up in territorial struggles with other Pokémon. Grafaiai specializes in using its poisonous saliva—which changes color depending on what the Pokémon eats—to attack foes by spitting at them or by slashing at them after coating its claws with the saliva.
Grafaiai is nocturnal and once the sun sets it licks its hands and fingers to cover them in poison and uses them to draw patterns on the trees in its territory. The poisonous saliva it uses to paint paralyzes Bug Pokémon, which are drawn to the saliva’s sweet, fragrant scent.
