== Editing multiple sections. ==

Just thought I'd let you know, if you'd like to edit multiple sections of a single page at once, you can hit "edit this page" at the top of the article in order to avoid potentially cluttering the edit history and recent change log with multiple edits. Thanks! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 05:29, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

== French translator ==

Before you go crazy with those, we are not adding those as we are not sure of the validity of the statements the translator claims, as they may just be his own opinions on what the Japanese names may be rather than him actually speaking with the original creators. A former staff member, who is Japanese, even debunked one of his origins at the time. So for now, please don't add them until we know for sure those are the actual origins the original creators intended.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:39, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
:Noted, thanks.[[User:Anzasquiddles|Anzasquiddles]] ([[User talk:Anzasquiddles|talk]]) 05:28, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

== Runerigus minimum level ==

When you edited Runerigus's page, you stated that you moved the minimum level bit to Yamask's page, but you didn't do so ''yet''. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]] ([[User talk:Bfdifan2006|T]]/[[Special:Contribs/Bfdifan2006|C]])''''' 21:12, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
:"Because Galarian Yamask needs at least 50 HP in order to take the amount of damage required for it to evolve without fainting, it cannot evolve into Runerigus until level 15 at minimum (assuming Yamask has 31 IVs and 240 EVs in HP), as that is the lowest level that it can have the required HP." that's in Yamask's page now. also in my contribs page, Yamask's edit went live first, then Runerigus's. [[User:Anzasquiddles|Anzasquiddles]] ([[User talk:Anzasquiddles|talk]]) 21:31, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
:EDIT: yea i see what you meant now, i prolly should've published Runerigus's edit first. [[User:Anzasquiddles|Anzasquiddles]] ([[User talk:Anzasquiddles|talk]]) 21:40, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
::Oh, I see. I just skimmed by it and never noticed you moving that bit to Yamask's page. Now I did notice. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]''''' ([[User talk:Bfdifan2006|T]]/[[Special:Contribs/Bfdifan2006|C]]) 16:41, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't feel the redirect "Old Verses" is absolutely necessary because of how MediaWiki links work. <code><nowiki>[[Old Verse]]s</nowiki></code> gives [[Old Verse]]s. --'''''[[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]]''''' ([[User talk:Bfdifan2006|T]]/[[Special:Contribs/Bfdifan2006|C]]) 18:32, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

== Cufant name origin ==

I changed Cufant's name origin to match the wording used in many other Pokémon name origin sections which split the combination into its parts. '''Cu''', '''cu'''prum, and '''cu'''te make up the first part of the combination, and in'''fant''' and eleph'''ant''' make up the second part. I feel like it would be more informative and {{tt|more consistent|with many of the other name origin sections of Pokémon}} to word it the way I had it i.e. ''Cufant may be a combination of Cu (chemical symbol for copper), cuprum (the Latin name for copper from which the symbol is derived), or cute, and elephant or infant.'' [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 03:32, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
:Ah, in that case i guess it's the better format? Idk, i changed it back because i felt like the new edit was a bit too wordy. [[User:Anzasquiddles|Anzasquiddles]] ([[User talk:Anzasquiddles|talk]]) 06:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

== Fuecoco ==

Hey! Just curious, where is Fuecoco depicted with more than two tufts on its head? [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 05:16, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
:Wait maybe I misunderstood what you meant. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 05:19, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
::i mean it can have more than two tufts on its head, like when it gets excited, as described in the website. [[User:Anzasquiddles|Anzasquiddles]] ([[User talk:Anzasquiddles|talk]]) 05:26, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
:::Interesting. Thanks! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 05:27, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

== Thank you ==

Just wanted to say thank you for fixing that edit I made to Snorlax and that I agree with your changes. <strike>Sometimes I wish Bulbapedia had a quick "thank you" button like Wikipedia does.</strike> {{unsigned|Landfish7}}

== Pokémon biology ==

Why do you delete edits that clarify pokemon biology? Grafaiai resembles more of an Aye-Aye than a Loris so if you want to delete stuff delete the section from origins and add it to biology so it's correctly identified as an Aye-Aye. [[User:SarahSmiley24|SarahSmiley24]] ([[User talk:SarahSmiley24|talk]]) 18:12, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

The Aye-Aye is an endangered species, so I don't feel it's right to take away any attention that could be brought to the animal especially when the pokemon was named after it. [[User:SarahSmiley24|SarahSmiley24]] ([[User talk:SarahSmiley24|talk]]) 18:17, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

:Most Pokémon aren't based on just one thing. Eg: aye-ayes aren't poisonous, but the slow loris is. Grafaiai's eyes are very large compared to its head, which is like the loris but unlike the aye-aye (the aye-aye has large eyes but they aren't THAT large, esp compared to the loris eyes). Also, like i said, Grafaiai being based on the aye-aye is already described in the Origin section. The Biology section is where we describe the mon as it looks and behaves in the Pokémon world; we generally don't compare and contrast back and forth between real life species and the Pokémon in the Bio section.
:Also yes, the aye-aye is endangered; but so many other Pokémon are based on endangered species too, eg. Rhyhorn all the way back in Gen 1. [[User:Anzasquiddles|Anzasquiddles]] ([[User talk:Anzasquiddles|talk]]) 18:22, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

By your own admission the aye-aye should still be in biology because Grafaiai uses his long saliva finger to paint. All I'm asking is to add Aye-Aye along with the loris in biology as it is undeniably a combination of both instead of just a loris. [[User:SarahSmiley24|SarahSmiley24]] ([[User talk:SarahSmiley24|talk]]) 18:34, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

You don't have to use my way of wording it, but perhaps it could say "resembling a lemur like the Aye-Aye and Loris." [[User:SarahSmiley24|SarahSmiley24]] ([[User talk:SarahSmiley24|talk]]) 18:36, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

If you're the one who made the edit on Grafaiai right now I just wanted to say thank you for compromising and hearing me out. Sorry if I came off a little aggressive that wasn't my intention, but thanks again for having this discussion [[User:SarahSmiley24|SarahSmiley24]] ([[User talk:SarahSmiley24|talk]]) 19:05, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

While Aye-Ayes are lemurs, I appreciate the specific distinction [[User:SarahSmiley24|SarahSmiley24]] ([[User talk:SarahSmiley24|talk]]) 19:11, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

SarahSmiley24: /* Pokémon biology */ new section

Grafaiai (Pokémon)

2022-11-30T17:36:38Z

SarahSmiley24: /* Biology */I added that Grafaiai is based off a specific animal called an "Aye-Aye". I felt this was important since they are critically endangered and most people don't know about them.

'''Grafaiai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タギングル''' ''Taginguru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It evolves from {{p|Shroodle}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
Grafaiai is a short primate Pokémon resembling a type of endangered lemur called an Aye-Aye. Aye-Aye are known for their long, boney finger that they will cover and lick with saliva like Grafaiai. The top half of its body is mostly black and somewhat resembles a hoodie, while its forearms and the bottom half of its body are dark bluish-gray in color, with white stripes on its thighs and bushy tail, and two white toes on its feet. It has a white face with large ears, huge yellow-green eyes, purple eyelids, and a short snout with four nostrils and sharp incisors. It also has four tufts of blonde hair above its forehead. Grafaiai's most notable physical feature is its hands; they have three fingers each, with the middle finger being several times longer than the other two. These fingers are coated with Grafaiai's poisonous saliva, with the finger on its right hand always seen with two drops of the saliva hanging from it.

Grafaiai has a moody temperament and is attentive to detail. It is a solitary species, and often gets into territorial fights with other Pokémon, including other Grafaiai. Grafaiai's saliva is brightly colored and poisonous, and its color changes depending on Grafaiai's diet, which includes {{Berries}} and {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.<ref name=SVYoutube>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPWSMyGx6OI Grafaiai makes its mark! | Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet]." [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref><ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/grafaiai/ Grafaiai | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website]</ref> Grafaiai uses this poisonous saliva to attack foes, either by spitting the saliva at them or by coating its hands with the saliva before slashing at them. Should Grafaiai sense danger, its poison becomes more concentrated and can immobilize a victim for about three days once absorbed.<ref name=SVsite/>

Grafaiai is nocturnal. During the night, it licks its hands and fingers with its poisonous saliva, before using them to draw patterns on trees. This not only marks Grafaiai's territory, but it also draws in Bug-type Pokémon with its sweet scent. The poison causes Grafaiai's prey to be immobilized and trapped until Grafaiai goes to collect them at dawn.<ref name=SVsite/> Each Grafaiai has its own signature pattern, which it will paint over and over throughout its life.

Grafaiai is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Doodle}}.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Grafaiai and {{p|Shroodle|its pre-evolved form}}.
* Grafaiai was first teased on August 29, 2022, through the official Pokémon Twitter account by showing pictures of the patterns it paints.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1564236773986795521 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] Posted on August 29, 2022.</ref> It got a second teaser on August 30, 2022, revealing its name and showing it as an obscured shadow,<ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1564599438236057602 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] Posted on August 30, 2022.</ref> before being properly revealed on September 1, 2022.<ref name=SVYoutube/><ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1565324120199495681 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] Posted on September 1, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Grafaiai, as evidenced by its name, seems to be based on the {{wp|aye-aye}}, a {{wp|lemur}} species with large eyes and ears and known for its long, skinny middle fingers, which it uses to poke into the insides of trees and catch insects. It also seems to be based on another species of {{wp|primate}}: the {{wp|slow loris}}, which is the only known venomous primate — like Grafaiai, it has large eyes and venom that it mixes with its saliva. Grafaiai's black, grey, and white coloration brings to mind the {{wp|ring-tailed lemur}}, which has scent glands on its wrists that allow it to mark its territories.

Grafaiai's behavior of painting trees with its saliva may be inspired by {{wp|graffiti}} art. With its connection to graffiti, along with its "hoodie" and hair sticking out of it, Grafaiai may also be partially inspired by stereotypes of various {{wp|youth subcultures}}, namely {{wp|hip hop fashion|hip hop}} and {{wp|punk fashion|punk}}. Additionally, the patterns it paints on trees may reference the {{wp|Oma forest}}, a public work of art by {{wp|Agustín Ibarrola}} consisting of trees painted with bright colors and elaborate patterns, located in the {{wp|Urdaibai}} natural reserve in {{wp|Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country}}, {{wp|Spain}}.

====Name origin====
