Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

Acafia is docile but can be quite needy. It uses its sharp horns and thorns to prod others when it wants attention. Beginning trainers have suffered many nasty pokes from these Pokémon.


Acafia rubs its thorns against rocks and tree trunks to keep them sharp. The thorns are not very sturdy and snap if used too roughly, but they grow back in a few days' time.

Name Origin

acacia + calf

Design History

(click thumbnail to enlarge.)

Acafia 1.0 (c. 2009)
Simple enough, but the shapes are a bit blobby, and it doesn't really scream 'Grass-type' aside from the fact that it's green.
Acafia 2.0 (2013)
This is another one that was primarily redesigned to match other members of the line who needed the update more, but this Acafia is at least a bit leafier than the last.
Acafia 3.0 (2024)
Acafia needed a bit of general cleanup after eleven years, and I took the opportunity to make its pose and expression a little more excited (alongside some small design tweaks for more interesting use of color).
