CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Trevenant extends the roots of its feet to connect with trees and control them throughout the forest. Pokémon living in its bark find it a kindly neighbour. Woodcutters, however, fear it: several accounts say it punishes those who damage the woods. Its power is therefore inseparable from its territory. The Pokédex presents it as a guardian able to protect forest inhabitants while threatening those who ravage their home.

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

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Sun relates that some woodcutters enter the woods only with a Fire-type Pokémon, for fear of Trevenant. Pokémon Shield describes the network of fine roots that lets it connect with neighbouring trees. Human fear therefore responds to a specific power.
