trevenant

Trevenant is a dual-type Ghost/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Type: Ghost/Grass

Abilities:

• Natural Cure: Heals status conditions upon switching out of battle.
• Frisk: Reveals an opponent's held item when Trevenant enters battle.
• Harvest (Hidden Ability): Has a 50% chance to restore a used Berry, or 100% in sunny weather.

Physical Characteristics:

• Trevenant resembles a large, sinister tree with a gnarled trunk and branches.
• Its body is primarily brown, resembling bark, with green leaves sprouting from its arms and head.
• Red eyes and a mouth set in a perpetually fierce scowl give it a ghostly appearance.
• It has three-clawed hands and roots that resemble a multi-legged base, allowing it to move with a creepy, creeping motion.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Trevenant is known to inhabit dense forests, where it acts as a guardian of the trees and plant life.
• It is highly protective of its habitat, using its ghostly powers to trap those who harm the forest.
• Trevenant communicates with other trees through its roots, maintaining a networked awareness of its environment.
• It is often seen in areas that are lush and teeming with life, ensuring the forest remains undisturbed.

In Battle:

• Trevenant is a versatile battler, capable of both offensive and defensive roles.
• It can utilize moves like Horn Leech and Wood Hammer for powerful physical attacks, while its Ghost-typing allows access to Shadow Claw and Phantom Force.
• Defensive strategies often include the use of Will-O-Wisp to burn opponents and Leech Seed to sap health over time.
• Its unique typing provides resistance against Water, Ground, and Electric types but leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Flying, and Dark types.

Evolution:

• Trevenant evolves from Phantump when traded.

Interesting Facts:

• Trevenant is based on the concept of a haunted tree, a common motif in various mythologies and horror tales.
• In the Pokémon anime, Trevenant has been depicted as both a protector of the forest and a misunderstood creature, reflecting its dual nature.
• Its ability, Harvest, is particularly interesting in battles, allowing it to repeatedly make use of held Berries, providing strategic depth.
• The combination of Ghost and Grass types is shared only with its pre-evolution, Phantump, and another Pokémon, Dhelmise, within the franchise.
