Pokédex description

Puppy Pokémon
Standard Pokédex description
Growlithe has a superb sense of smell. Once it smells anything, this Pokémon won't forget the scent, no matter what. It uses its advanced olfactory sense to determine the emotions of other living things.
- Growlithe's cry
Hisuian Growlithe Pokédex description
They patrol their territory in pairs. I believe the igneous rock components in the fur of this species are the result of volcanic activity in its habitat.
