Game data

NPC appearances

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2: Grovyle is an important character in the game's story. He was the partner of the player before he turned into a Pokémon, and came from the future to steal the Time Gears. Though initially the game's antagonist, it is revealed that Grovyle had to steal the Time Gears to put them in Temporal Tower to prevent the tower's collapse, and thus the paralysis of the planet.

Trivia

Origin

Appearance-wise, it resembles the dinosaur known as the Dromaeosaurus. It is believed that the dinosaur had feathers much like how Grovyle has leaves on its body.

Name origin

Grovyle's name is a combination of the words grove, meaning a group of trees, and possibly vile. Of course, -yle could also refer to "reptile". Its Japanese name is based on jungle and reptile or raptor.

In other languages

German: Reptain
French: Massko
Korean: 나무돌이 Namudori - Seems to be made from the words tree and a suffix used commonly on animal's names (돌이 dori).
