CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Snubbull bares its teeth and puts on a stern expression to drive smaller Pokémon away. This appearance conceals a timid temperament and a strong need for affection. It can even look sad when its grimace works too well and the others flee. When it is not trying to intimidate someone, it sleeps for much of the day. The Pokédex thus depicts a character torn between a defensive facade and great sensitivity.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Moon credits Snubbull with up to twelve hours of sleep a day when it is not barking to defend itself. Pokémon Ultra Sun emphasizes its love of being pampered. Its reputation as a little intimidator therefore hides a fairly quiet, affectionate daily life.
