Trivia[]
Origin[]
Brambleghast is a tumbleweed-looking Pokémon that, according to it's pokedex entries, seem to be based after the Panicum effusum, commonly known as 'hairy panic' due to how it multiplies rather quickly and can take over entire towns quickly. The Grass/Ghost-Type combo could be explained; the Grass typing obviously being due to it being a type of bramble, and the Ghost typing possibly being a reference to western movies, generally portraying abandoned settlements and "Ghost Towns" as being full of tumbleweeds.
