Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

A Quarendou's bulk makes it a poorer climber than Gravendou or Cragendou, so they nest in rocky foothills and caves. Their flexible tails can grab large boulders and hurl them at intruders.

The sharp spines on Quarendou's body sometimes snap in tough battles, but they grow quickly. Sometimes a Quarendou will shatter its own spines to remove old weight and allow them to come back stronger.

Name Origin

quarry + coendou, a prehensile-tailed porcupine
