Gender differences

Behavior

Despite appearing fierce-looking they are actually very timid, loyal and playful.

Madame Muchmoney's Granbull

A female Snubbull ran away from its home and followed Team Rocket (and by extension, Ash himself) around the Johto region for a short while. She evolved into Granbull in The Trouble with Snubbull and returned to her owner, Madame Muchmoney.

A Granbull also appeared in the opening of the movie, Spell of the Unown under the ownership of a trainer named Lisa.

Cassidy's Granbull debuted in Sleight of Sand!.

A Granbull appeared in Template:PSV, 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.

Blue's Snubbull evolved in Granbull in the Sevii Islands.
