Trivia

This card is one of numerous cards to feature an illustration that is part of a narrative. Following on from the scene on the Grookey card, the Grookey has taken all of the remaining berries for itself, leaving the Sobble in a flood of tears as it stands in front of an empty patch. The Grookey celebrates its haul, while the Scorbunny looks on in confusion.

Origin

Growl is a move in the Pokémon games that Sobble can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Sword.
