Appearances
Anime

Goh's Greedent.
Greedent made its debut in the anime when it evolved from Goh's Skwovet.
Trivia
- Despite its obesity, Greedent can't have the ability Thick Fat.
- 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.
