CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Grimmsnarl uses its long hair as an active part of its body. It wraps it around itself to increase its muscle mass and can then restrain even a Machamp. It can also release these stringy locks to seize an opponent like tentacles. The Pokédex therefore presents its hair as a mobile source of strength rather than a mere identifying feature. Depending on the situation, it strengthens its grip or lets it reach a target away from its body.

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

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Sword uses Machamp as a measure of Grimmsnarl's strength: hair wrapped around its body lets it restrain one. Pokémon Shield adds that it can release its locks to grab an opponent in the manner of tentacles.
