New Pokémon Grafaiai teased for Scarlet and Violet
It has something to do with painted trees. Smeargle’s got competition!
Update: Grafaiai has been introduced with a new pair of trailers and update to the official website.
Grafaiai is a Poison/Normal type – a unique typing! We have some details on how Grafaiai paints and hunts as well:
A new Pokémon for the upcoming generation 9 titles, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, has been teased by the official Pokémon Twitter account: Grafaiai.
Remember the markings we shared yesterday? Well, the Paldean photographer has confirmed that these were made by a Pokémon called #Grafaiai!
As you can see, it’s quite difficult to catch in action.

As stated, we can expect to get a good look at it soon. Until then, we’ll have to make do with these teaser images. At least one can hope we will not get another 24 hour livestream!
It is possible Grafaiai is responsible for the colour on the trees here, which incidentally are based on the Oma forest, a work of art in Basque Country.
If you’d like to see what other parts of Paldea are based on, check out our other article on that very topic!
How cute do you predict Grafaiai will be? Let us know in the comments!
