Furfrou
The Poodle Pokémon
Type: Normal
Official Registration #: 676
Entry: A regal, dog-like pokémon traditionally given to Kalosean royalty as guardians. Because of both this and their easy-to-style coarse fur, furfrou have been both status symbols and fashion icons in the region since the eighteenth century. Perhaps to quell any possible guilt one may have for styling furfrou’s fur, it is commonly said among the Kalosean people that trimming a furfrou’s coat increases its swiftness. This is not necessarily true. While, yes, shaving a furfrou and relieving it of its thick, wild coat will help it to move its limbs and run unburdened, the issue is that a pokémon can only be so swift when the fur on its head has been shaped into a giant top hat.
