This very popular duo joined the Pokémon series in Generation IV. Both Snubbull and Granbull were Normal type Pokémon until Generation VI, which designated them as members of the brand new Fairy type. Opposite of Growlithe and Arcanine, the gender ratio of Snubbull and Granbul is skewed 75% female. Though it retains its pink color, it loses the dress and gains a more ferocious appearance, with longer teeth and wider jaw-but its personality is apparently quite timid. Train Snubbull to level 23, and you'll get a Granbull. Its cuteness, I suppose, is a matter of opinion, with its gaping bulldog-like underbite, polka-dot dress, and perpetual glare, but its Pokédex data frequently states that despite its scary appearance, it is friendly and affectionate, and assures us that many women find it cute. Snubbull is a Generation II Pokémon, though was one of the very first revealed for its cameo in Pikachu's Vacation, the first Pikachu short film before the very first Pokémon movie, Mewtwo Strikes Back. If pink, clown-like bipedal bulldogs are your thing, fear not, there is a Pokémon for you. The fox Pokémon could have their own list altogether! For those interested, though, check out Vulpix, Eevee, Zorua, Fennekin, and many, many more. I have not included any fox Pokémon-not only because foxes, though they belong to the Canidae mammal grouping along with dogs, are not immediate relatives of dogs, and are properly vulpines, not canines, but because including them here would make the list really long. I've therefore compiled a list of Pokémon either officially confirmed to be dog-like, or with very strong canine features. After writing my previous article, Cats of the Pokémon Series, it only seemed fair to give the dogs a chance in the spotlight!Īs with the cats, some of these dogs are definitely confirmed to be canines, but some are much more uncertain. Some are clearly inspired by certain animals or mythical beasts (or, for that matter, everyday objects), whereas others have left fans scratching their heads and debating what they most resemble. For many Pokémon fans, each generation unleashes a new crew of monsters of various designs.
