Pokédex entries

Zarude

Sword	Within dense forests, this Pokémon lives in a pack with others of its kind. It’s incredibly aggressive, and the other Pokémon of the forest fear it.
Shield	Once the vines on Zarude’s body tear off, they become nutrients in the soil. This helps the plants of the forest grow.

Dada Form

Sword	This Zarude left its pack to raise a human child. The cloth Zarude would wrap the child with has a comforting scent that calmed the child’s crying.
Shield	This Zarude’s special strength stems from its love and care for an orphaned human child that the Pokémon has raised since the child’s infancy.
