08 //Pokédex entries
The black fur that covers this Pokémon’s body is dense and springy. Even sharp fangs bounce right off.
Herdier is a very smart and friendly Pokémon. So much so that there’s a theory that Herdier was the first Pokémon to partner with people.
It has been living with people for so long that portrayals of it can be found on the walls of caves from long, long ago.
The longer its black fur grows, the harder and more impervious it gets. Claws and fangs can’t easily penetrate it.
This Pokémon obeys its master’s orders faithfully. However, it refuses to listen to anything said by a person it doesn’t respect.
Its dense black fur grows continuously. The high cost of keeping its hard fur properly groomed makes this a troublesome Pokémon to train.
