This very loyal Pokémon helps Trainers, and it also takes care of other Pokémon. |
| Y Alpha Sapphire |
It has black, cape-like fur that is very hard and decreases the amount of damage it receives. |
| Sun | Its dense black fur grows continuously. The high cost of keeping its hard fur properly groomed makes this a troublesome Pokémon to train. |
| Moon | This Pokémon obeys its master’s orders faithfully. However, it refuses to listen to anything said by a person it doesn’t respect. |
| Ultra Sun | The longer its black fur grows, the harder and more impervious it gets. Claws and fangs can’t easily penetrate it. |
| Ultra Moon | It has been living with people for so long that portrayals of it can be found on the walls of caves from long, long ago. |
| Sword | Herdier is a very smart and friendly Pokémon. So much so that there’s a theory that Herdier was the first Pokémon to partner with people. |
| Shield | The black fur that covers this Pokémon’s body is dense and springy. Even sharp fangs bounce right off. |
