Grafaiai
Grafaiai is a Poison/Normal type Pokémon introduced in Generation 9.
Grafaiai specializes in using its poisonous saliva - which changes color depending on what the Pokémon eats - to attack foes by spitting at them or by slashing at them after coating its claws with the saliva.
Grafaiai was first teased in a series of photos where the elusive creature can be seen in silhouette. It was later revealed in some camera trap
style footage.
