This will only affect the artwork shown in the infobox. This changes every year, so when the time comes, here to return to the page and change the display. |
It's the only
Dual-Type Normal-Type with no Electric weakness. Someone put this in for me, please, I'm horrible at edits. --Chaos Theory 20:04, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
- Horrible at edits or not, you wouldn't have been able to do it yourself anyway at this time. It's not until UTC reaches tomorrow that the protections set on the species pages start to expire, provided that they're not renewed (and believe me, that would require multiple people slaving over a hot stove, cooking dolphin, and getting no appreciation). I'd reveal the reasons for this, but if I did so, I'd have to permablock you. --Shiningpikablu252 20:09, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Pokédex Error
In it's Emerald Dex entry, it says "A Girafarig is an herbivore--it eats grass and tree shoots. While it is eating, its tail makes chewing and swallowing motions as if it were also eating." Is this an error on Bulbapedia's mark, or Game Freak's? - unsigned comment from Pawsrent (talk • contribs)

All Regional Dexes?
"Since its debut in Generation II, Girafarig has been featured in all regional Pokédexes."
What does that mean, exactly? The Unova Dex is a regional Pokedex, right? Girafarig's not in the Unova Dex, of course... King Riolu 20:24, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Special Abilities?
Ok, being immune to Ghost-type moves and due to Girafarig being a Psychic-type doesn't show it being that special, and Fighting-type the same reason. So I don't think it should rteally fit there. I think it fits better in the trivia section. We could write its special abilities about its tail or something.
