A new Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> means, well, lots of new pok\u00e9mon. And the lead-up to Pok\u00e9mon Violet<\/em> and Scarlet<\/em><\/a> has been full of monster reveals, the most recent of which is an artist who stays up all night and is a bit of a loner.<\/p>\n

Grafaiai<\/a>, as it\u2019s called, was revealed today in a clever documentary-style video clip that really makes me want a David Attenborough narrated series all about pocket monsters. The toxic monkey pok\u00e9mon is cute, of course, but as with many of its adorable contemporaries, things get pretty dark when you look at the details. Here\u2019s the official description:<\/p>\n

\n

Grafaiai is a moody pok\u00e9mon with a fastidious disposition. It doesn\u2019t form packs, preferring to roam alone, and it is constantly caught up in territorial struggles with other pok\u00e9mon. Grafaiai specializes in using its poisonous saliva \u2014 which changes color depending on what the pok\u00e9mon eats \u2014 to attack foes by spitting at them or by slashing at them after coating its claws with the saliva.<\/p>\n

Grafaiai is nocturnal and once the sun sets it licks its hands and fingers to cover them in poison and uses them to draw patterns on the trees in its territory. The poisonous saliva it uses to paint paralyzes bug pok\u00e9mon, which are drawn to the saliva\u2019s sweet, fragrant scent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s entirely possible that Grafaiai is meant to be a not-so-subtle critique of the contemporary art world, but the one thing I know for sure is I want him on my team alongside the bread dog<\/a>. Just look at that attitude:<\/p>\n
