Granbull (Japanese: グランブル Granbulu) is a Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation VI, it was a Normal-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Snubbull starting at level 23.
Biology
Granbull is a purple, bipedal, bulldog-like Pokémon. It has a prominent lower jaw with two long, fang-like growths. Its upper jaw has two small fangs. The jaws are so heavy that the Pokémon has trouble keeping its head up. On the sides of its head are flat, curved ears, and its small nose is black. There is a black collar around its neck with two small white markings on it. Around its wrists are two black band markings, and it has a short tail.
Despite its fierce appearance, it is actually very timid. Unless Granbull is startled, it will not bite indiscriminately. If attacked, it will flail about to fend off its attacker. Granbull wanders around urban areas.

Sun |
Its well-developed lower jaw and heavy fangs are its weapons. As long as it's not provoked, it rarely bites. |
Moon |
More timid than Snubbull, this Pokémon is doted on by young people amused at the contrast between its looks and its attitude. |
Ultra Sun |
While it has powerful jaws, it doesn't care for disputes, so it rarely has a chance to display their might. |
Ultra Moon |
Although it's popular with young people, Granbull is timid and sensitive, so it's totally incompetent as a watchdog. |

Trivia
- Granbull and its pre-evolved form share their category with Clefairy and Clefable. They are all known as the Fairy Pokémon.
- As the Ability Quick Feet did not exist until Generation IV, a Snubbull with either Intimidate or Run Away will always evolve into a Granbull with Intimidate in Generation III games. This means that in Generation III, Granbull is the only Pokémon with an Ability that evolves from a Pokémon with one of two possible Abilities that shares to Granbull's Ability.
- Granbull is the first Pokémon to evolve on-screen in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.
- Granbull is tied with Grimmsnarl for the highest Attack stat of all non-legendary Fairy-type Pokémon.
Origin
Granbull seems to be based on a mastiff dog such as the American Bulldog, Boxer, or Bullmastiff due to its powerful body, short muzzle, and floppy ears. Many of these breeds have been used as guard dogs and fighting dogs, which may explain Granbull's thick collar and wristband/shackle-like markings. Its intimidating appearance is reminiscent of various grotesque mythical creatures such as goblins and orcs, while its category, Egg Group and type may reference the Cù-sìth, a creature in Celtic fake history whose name means dog fairy.
Name origin
Granbull and Granbulu may be a combination of grand (large) and bulldog or bully (referring to its tendency to scare away foes). It also sounds like grumble (referring to its low, growling cry).
