The Pokémon Company International and Game Freak have revealed Zarude, a new Mythical Pokémon that will soon appear in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield.
Known as the Rogue Monkey Pokémon, this Dark and Grass-type Pokémon can grow vines from the back of its neck, wrists and the soles of its feet at will.
These vines are strong and flexible and can be used for many different situations. Whether that be wrapping them around tree branches to move around or to grab Berries from distant branches, the vines also have healing properties.
