If eclipsed by its more promient lower jaws, Granbull also has two small fangs visible on its upper jaw. Granbull’s ears are flat and curved in surface, and their nose is black. They also have a black collar around their neck with two small white patterns on it, and two band-like black markings on their arms.
Gender differences

Special abilities
Granbull has notably powerful, pronounced, and prominient jaws, capable of immense crushing power, which Granbull uses to peform attacks such as Bite, Crunch, and the Elemental Fang trio. Granbull can Intimidate most Pokémon by opening its mouth wide to reveal its fangs.
Behavior
Despite appearing fierce-looking they are actually very timid, loyal and playful. The jaws are so heavy that the Pokémon have trouble keeping their heads up. Unless Granbull is startled, it will try not to bite indiscriminately. If attacked, Granbull will flail about to fend off its attacker.
Granbull, the Fairy Pokémon. The evolved form of Snubbull. Granbull has extreme fighting power due to its heavily muscled jaw and its strong teeth and tusks.

Pokémon Adventures
A Granbull appeared in Volume 8, where it was stealing Pokémon to get attention as its jaw was dislocated. When Gold accidentally knocks its jaw into relocation, it happily returns all the Pokémon it took.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Granbull hangs around Pokémon Square. Granbull evolved from Snubbull without realizing what was happening, though it enjoyed its new appearance after getting over the initial shock. This event alerted the rest of the characters that evolution was now possible.
Pokédex entries

Granbull has had its color changed in every generation. In Gold and Silver, its fur was pink and in Crystal it was changed to purple. In GenerationIII, its color darkened. In Diamond and Pearl and Platinum, its purple was darkened even more. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, its color was drastically tinted to a more pinkish color, much pinker than its official artwork.
Its Shiny coloration's color also changes, though GenerationIV's alternate colored sprites all stayed the same color.
