Greedent (Japanese: ヨクバリス, Hepburn: Yokubarisu) (GREE-dent[1]) is a normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII. It evolves from Skwovet starting at level 24.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Greedent is a small Pokémon that resembles an obese red squirrel. It has reddish-tan fur with darker red-brown fur on its bloated belly, ear tips, underside, and the lower half of its face. It has black eyes, light tan markings around its eyes, an orange nose, orange ear insides, a buck tooth, and fluffy cheeks with orange "freckles" on them. It also has stubby limbs and a huge, fluffy tail that it uses to store berries.
Behavior[]
True to their name, Greedent are extremely greedy and gluttonous (hence their plump physique). They store so many berries in their tails that they never notice when they lose them. They're also slow-witted and have a habit of attacking people that shake berry trees too much.
Natural abilities[]
Greedent have powerful teeth which can crack open even the hardest of nuts. As they, like their pre-evolutions, are capable of learning Belch, it would seem that they produce large amounts of digestive gas.
Diet[]
Greedent mainly diet on nuts and Berries.

Pokédex entries[]
- Sword
It stashes berries in its tail—so many berries that they fall out constantly. But this Pokémon is a bit slow-witted, so it doesn't notice the loss.
- Shield
Common throughout the Galar region, this Pokémon has strong teeth and can chew through the toughest of berry shells.
- Scarlet
If it spots a berry tree, it will immediately go to gather berries without a sideways glance—even if it’s in the middle of a battle.
- Violet
This Pokémon makes off with heaps of fallen berries by wrapping them in its tail, which is roughly twice the length of its body.

Appearances[]
Anime[]
Goh's Greedent.
Greedent made its debut in the anime when it evolved from Goh's Skwovet.
Trivia[]
- When Greedent is hit by an attack, a Leppa Berry falls out of its tail.
- Greedent appears to be the complete opposite of its pre-evolution's personality, as while its pre-evolution gets scared if its cheek pouch is empty, Greedent completely ignores it.
- This may be due to Skwovet being based on an invasive species (the Gray Squirrel), which is the reason Greedent's real-life counterpart is endangered.
Origin[]
Greedent is based on a fat Eurasian red squirrel. As Galar is based on the UK, Greedent may also be based on Conker, an ill-tempered, greedy red squirrel character created by British game developer Rare (now part of Microsoft), which had worked together with Nintendo on several games in the past.
Etymology[]
- "Greedent" (which is also its name in Spanish and Italian) comes from "greedy" and "rodent".
- Its Japanese name, "Yokubarisu", is a combination of 欲張り (yokubari, greed) and 栗鼠 (risu, squirrel). It may also incorporate "avarice", a synonym for greed.
