In a tweet, The Pokémon Company said Greavard’s tendency to suck the life out of anything around it is inadvertent.

[{"selector":"#anim-c54f3255-44b2-4d4f-9532-747f900b2dec [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.044164426534135%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

“Greavard is so affectionate that paying it any attention will make it so happy that it’ll follow you wherever you go,” the tweet said.

The Pokémon Company hid a few new creatures in a trailer in early October, and several of them are still a big mystery.

Pokémon was started in 1996, with the company earning an average of nearly $4 billion a year.
