Biology

Snubbull is a bulldog-like Pokémon with a pink and blue coat, quivering jowls, beady eyes and an underbite. Despite its appearance, Snubbull is known for being playful and kind, as well as being a popular Pokémon among women in the Pokémon world. Granbull is the evolution of Snubbull.

Design & origin

Alongside bulldogs, Snubbull is also based on cù-sìth, a mythological creature that translates into English as "fairy dog". Its name is partially derived from "bulldog", combined with the word "snub".
